Bandai Namco has announced that its long-running, drum-based rhythm series Taiko no Tatsujin will be heading to Switch and PS4 in Europe on November 2nd.
Amazingly, despite Taiko no Tatsujin’s enduring popularity in Japan – the series debuted in Japanese arcades in 2001, and has seen versions on virtually all consoles since then – Namco Bandai’s announcement marks the first time that the series will have been officially released in Europe. It did, however, see a single outing in North America on PlayStation 2 in 2004, under the name Taiko: Drum Master.
When Taiko no Tatsujin comes to Europe (and North America for that matter), Switch and PS4 will each receive a distinct version of the game; Switch owners get Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun!, while Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! is its PlayStation 4 counterpart.
