Taiko Drum Master Wii adds four-player support, party games
For some, the sound of one person banging on a plastic drum peripheral just isn't enough. Two? Not gonna cut it. Now four, that might get the decibel level high enough.

First look: Taiko no Tatsujin Wii

Taiko no Tatsujin rocks Japanese television in latest ad spot
Oh boy, we're pumped to try out some Taiko no Tatsujin (Taiko Drum Master) on our Wii. The only problem is, we're not sure if we're going to be able to, as Namco has made no intention to release the game outside of Japan ... so far.

Wii Warm Up: Taiko Risk Assessment
Taiko Drum Master was released in the US once, on PlayStation 2. It didn't really go well. Now Namco Bandai has revealed a version for the Wii, and we're wondering if they'll decide to localize it.
