Why have these games seemingly never come to the US before? Licensing for the music?
Bless the Switch being region free

Probably but I've been importing in the past for Vita and PS4 so the western user base is probably used to it by now. At least on the PS4 You can have the UI text in English.
Hopefully they will also have touch screen drumming like on the DS versions. (This time with multi-touch)
This is honestly is why I'll be picking up a Switch. Switch, Pro Controller and Taiko import day 1. Awesome to see lots of Taiko love in here!
just fyi i'm 100% positive you'll be able to play with buttons like every other version. touch control is 50/50, vita didn't have it despite having every reason to
if there was gonna be a dedicated taiko controller for switch they probably would've announced that already so i don't think that's happening, but you'll probably be able to use the ps4 one with the right adapters

Yes this needs to happen!
I'd assume it has traditional button and touchscreen controls like the previous handheld versions?
And it bombed so badly with it's oversize packaging Namco's been afraid to try again. It's too bad, I feel like Taiko would've had a good shot during Wii's casual boom.
Wow, that looks a lot of fun. Maybe I will look into this series with this. Thank god for region free again!
You know, that would be a great opportunity for making a Labo pattern... If you make a cardboard taiko and some structure to protect the joycons you'd be able to play it easily as long as you don't beat the cons too hard
Good point, but i don't think cardboard will survive the abuse for long. Perhaps some 3D printed mod could resolve this.
True, it would be a really disposable piece... a cardboard casing coild provide at least some protection for the joycon so you're able to play it while beating on some sort of not so hard surface but I'm pretty sure you'd have to play a bit more casually :/
A 3d mod might be the way to go
Imagine if we finally got Donkey Konga 3 as part of a collection with 1 and 2 in the US for switch.
Id be fine with that over Taiko.

I'd like to see a proper Donkey Konga 4 based on this directly. Bonus points if it comes with an optional Taiko artstyle mode. :P
Ah, I see. I feel like this could be a modest success in 2018 as an eShop-only release though; especially since there are no peripherals needed for this one. There can't be that much text to translate.
It will be a day zero purchase for me if they include Bowser's Castle 2 theme from Odyssey:
It doesn't get any more japanese than this. Such a perfect fit for Taiko.

I'm pretty sure the motion controls in the joycons are more advanced than what the Wii had available. ARMS is probably the best example, it's crazy precise and could never have worked with the OG Wii Remotes.
I wanted to get the vita game I recall but never did. Well I think I'll just bite the bullet and get it on Switch day one since these games never seen to drop in price that much.
The Switch really is turning out to be a gateway to series I never tried for me.

I would be shocked and very surprised if touchscreen and buttons were not supported.
Why would the developers decide to ditch that now?
Yeah they only really drop after new version is on the horizon

That setlist so far... too much older stuff. I like the new controls but I'd never try for perfect with that.
