Taiko no Tatsujin: Nintendo Switch Version! |OT| Joy-Don ft. HDrumble
- Thread starter purseowner
- Start date
oh maaaan..
I just play the demo again, but now holding L or R for the blue notes and it was a completely different experience. I just made a full combo in medium (yeah, I suck, but this is my first try playing this game lol )
I'm thinking in buying the JP version in the JP eshop, and then buy the western physical version her. Will that be a problem? I have never done this before (buying one game twice from different stores). My idea is that, since the majority here thinks that the songs will be different between regions, I can buy both versions and enjoy all songs.
I'll definitely buy the drums too, but probably here. I think they are way to expensive in PlayAsia (70USD + ~30 of shipping)
What do you think?

See if amazon JP has a good price. I got the disc and two drums on ps4for less than $300 cdn shipped and it got here in two days.
Ps4 has a ton of dlc and a timed event already. I'd expect the same for the switch
I got my game on Amazon JP for $8 USD shipping and it came in one day. The drums were the same price for shipping and are looking like they will arrive just as quickly.
I hear you. I haven't experienced the game mistaking my center hit for an edge hit as often as you have, but it has definitely happened to me on occasion. Once in a blue moon I'll swing and the game doesn't even register a hit at all. And yet there's someone else in this thread whose experience was that no matter what they did, as long as the timing was right the correct hits would register.
After some more time playing with the motion controls I can full combo some low star songs pretty reliably so maybe it is just a timing issue (though I swear my timing is spot on and it still registers incorrect hits sometimes, who knows). Either way, it's a bit disappointing because even though I bought the drum I was really excited about playing with motion controls...my expectation going in was that they weren't going to be perfect but it's more of a struggle than I thought it would be.
Go to Japanese eshop on your Switch and enter the codes there, the same way you would redeem an eshop card or enter a download code for a game.
I can just do center hits all day and it will register as whatever the screen shows. However, if I really try to hit edge hits it might register as one or come out as a center hit, so somehow the auto-adjust only works for center hit movements.
Hey, can someone help me out?
I assume I'm in the right screen for TV settings. What do the sliders do here? (I set both to -15 because I'm like maybe that'll do it, and it's just made it a lot worse.)
Edit: I'm trying to decrease the lag.
Slider 1 is for the note display
Slider 2 is for the note determination
Slider 3 is for the drum controller
You can also hit the + button to do a test.
Awesome, thanks!
Edit: Hmm, Amazon Japan says the taiko "usually ships in 2-5 weeks." I guess it might be backordered.
...And now it doesn't. Better hop on it.
How do you unlock songs? Is it just to play other songs a certain amount of times? I've unlocked maybe 5.
Unlock characters by playing the Party Games - You'll unlock new characters at certain milestones (i.e., played 15-20 times). I believe that I've unlocked all characters at
50
combined total of 100 times
It'd be nice if high scores could be separated by what input method you're using.
Like, I've got a drum kit on the way and I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna be getting scores as good as I can get with a Pro Controller.
Also, if I'm gonna be playing with friends what's the best way to keep track of their scores? Give them their own Switch profiles?

Because the game will give you the scores of all accounts on the same Switch, having their own profiles is the best idea.
A video showing how the game's motion controls just auto-play the game for you :( You can even play one-handed, and the 2-hand hits count. You just need perfect timing. I hope they add an option to disable this.

Mine's set to arrive tomorrow evening. Really quick shipping and good price (amazon JP). Excited -- the last Taiko game I had was the one for PSP back in the day, and I was obseeeeessed with it.
There is already, depending on the character there is auto correct or not on the hits
No, the game does this with all characters, including the first two drums in the list which are the "normal game" characters who don't give any help. Using motion controls, all that matters is perfect timing, if you have that the game auto-chooses center or edge (or double) as needed. It really ruined the game for me, I had to buy the drum to be able to play the game for real.
Game + Drums scheduled to deliver in the next couple of days from PlayAsia...can't wait

Interested in knowing this too, I know someone posted a link earlier in the thread for a different adapter (coov n100 or whatever it's called, but it's wired only) but I'm wondering if the Magic NS (or any other wired+wireless adapter) will work for PS4->Switch
There's good and bad news regarding the drums. Good news, the switch tatacon works on the PS4 with a Cronusmax Plus adapter (As usual with this method, you need to use an usb hub and sacrifice a dualshock 4 to stop the controller from disconnecting every 10 mins).
And now the bad news, I think my tatacon is a dud :( I need to press down pretty hard with my hands to get it detect a hit. Definitely nothing like what I've seen from the videos online. I've tried it with both PS4 and Switch. Wonder if Amazon can ship me another if I show them the problem.. Not really looking forward to having to send this thing back if they ask me to.
EDIT: Ok, so it's either me expecting too much as it's my first tatacon and hearing that the sensitivity was improved. But I've played on it a bit more, and either the hit detection is getting better (still have to hit it harder than to my liking), or I was hitting the drum too lightly at the start. Probably a bit of both lol.

if you hit, like... L i think? on the timing offset screen it'll take you to a calibration mode where you move a slider to try to get beeps coming from the tv to sync with the joycon rumbling. that may work better
Thanks. That did help a bit more. Strangely it didn't work with my surround sound (couldn't hear the beeps), but was fine when switching to TV speakers instead.
How do you get the song select menu to look like that instead of the up-down scrolling list?
that's a mock-play video from march. footage is from one of the wii u games, the just overlaid hypothetical joycon controls
same thing here. if you have toy symphony (the amazon preorder song) and gold don-chan (inside the box), then you've got everything. not sure what that code is all about myself.
my ps4 one took a session or two to break in. It works really well now. Just keep playing, it should loosen up
That's not someone actually playing the Switch version. It's a mock playthrough.
I hope so, otherwise I may have to think about modding it, which I didn't think I'd have to do. Just seeing others online take theirs straight out of the box and showing that a light brush/tap registers, while mine needs a sharp whack just doesn't seem isn't right. Can't see me improving much if I'm fighting the controller more than the game.
It's the free promo dlc song+character pack, available until 31/08.
Nice, as i was downloading it
Can't wait to try it out tonight :D
I want to ask once more, after my digital purchase on Amazon on the game, I was shown 2 codes. Does anyone know what they both are for.
I realize one is probably for the game. Is the other for that website someone linked earlier to give feedback on the game and make DLC requests?

I know one code is to redeem a extra song (Toy Symphony I think)
If you mean the code with 4 letters followed by 12 numbers, I haven't found a place to use it. Mine ends in 1013.
While I didn't order this game from Amazon, If you're talking about the 管理番号 It's just a control number. All Amazon.jp digital codes come with them. In fact, my Golden Don-Chan code email from Nintendo (I bought the game on the eShop) contained a control number as well, which specifies 管理番号（お問い合わせ用）that it's for "inquiry use". So basically it exists if for some reason your code didn't work Amazon.jp (or in my case Nintendo) can track it on their end.
