Taiko no Tatsujin -- or
Taiko Drum Master -- games for Wii and DS have featured
playable medleys of
Super Mario Bros. music, accompanied by 8-bit dancing Mario and friends. The latest Wii release in the adorable drumming series,
Taiko no Tatsujin Wii Everybody Party 3rd, builds on the formula by featuring the theme from
New Super Mario Bros. Wii, along with polygonal Mario, Luigi and Toad dancers.
Andriasang notes that in addition to the
NSMB Wii track, the new
Taiko Drum Master features musical renditions from other notable games including
Pokemon Diamond and
Pearl,
God Eater, Ridge Racer Type 4, and ...
Muscle March. The game also includes
minigames with pirate, alien, fairytale and
Gator Panic themes. In general, there's a ton of great-looking content, making the fact that no
Taiko game has been localized for release outside of Japan since 2004 that much more crushing.
