Taiko No Tatsujin: The Drum Master Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass

I just cancelled my Apple Arcade subscription and my daughter was sad because she couldn’t play this game anymore.

Thanks Xbox for saving my skin!

I wonder if the achievements are difficult.

Curious whether my switch drum set will work.

@Medic_Alert If it’s like the Switch; Don is the face buttons; Ka is the bumpers.

@metroid02 I’d assume you’d need an adapter. But hey if you can get it to work let us know.

@Medic_Alert I had good time with it. I’ll let you know when I get he; though I like this game either way.

This one might focus on controller first.

The most Japanese of all Japanese games lands on Game Pass. It's a new era, lol.

Bandai is really leaning into GP it seems (too bad they can't figure out Quick Resume and not crashing with Tales of Arise..... and don't seem interested in patching it.) But it's good to see.

@Medic_Alert Honestly I played on Switch without motion controls, and without the drum (imported the drum and game before it was on the eShop) and just used the buttons. Can't be bothered with the peripherals sadly, and it was ok. The drum definitely would make it more interesting, but it was mostly the music selection that put me off it this time, I just wasn't feeling most of it. When the highlight is the Japanese version of a Twice song, you're in trouble.

@Medic_Alert I supposed you can try to make the drum work with an adapter. There are many the go Switch into Xbox but there are a few.

@Medic_Alert IMO prior games had better playlists. This one tried to lean too hard on "things the West may have heard before" to be more global a release, which makes it a little less interesting.

But yeah the drum would make it more interesting. IDK why I've had the darned thing sitting in a box and haven't used it on Switch.

i had fun with it but it really felt like the inputs just stop working at random or the input delay just increases or something.
i've never had any issue like that before in any rhythm game. i'm just constantly recalibrating the audio/video timings.

it really does feel like you need the drum or motion with this though.

but wow. I really wasn't expecting this. On xbox of all things, i'm really ok with this. despite my issues, still having alot of fun with it.
If microsoft is the reason this is here, please keep pushing more for this stuff. If it was bamco's idea - thank you for the love of everything. xD

@metroid02 it doesnt👎

Edit: And tweet is now private. :/

@mousieone thanks for the heads up!!! Might give it a go👍👍👍👍

@hbkay just be careful. I just have the Twitter posts that it works unlike the PS4 drum where I’ve seen two videos now of it working. I was going to give it a bit of time to see if someone uploaded a video.
