Taiko no Tatsujin: Nintendo Switch Version! |OT| Joy-Don ft. HDrumble

That is odd. I know its kind of obvious, but make sure you're definitely trying to redeem it from the Japan eShop; otherwise, try replacing Os with 0s and whatnot (if applicable).
The digital copy on Amazon doesn't have the Toy Symphony bonus song, only the "Amazon.co.jp Limited" physical does, which is currently ￥900 more than the standard. It'll probably be sold later on the e-shop for￥150 if it's like Drum Session's store specific dlc.
forgive me if i've missed this, but is there a basic breakdown of the menus anywhere? Before the english patch?

That explains that! I was wondering why I didn't get an emailed code from Amazon.
Does this game make anyone else hope ever so badly for a Point Blank entry on the Switch? The zany art style reminds me so much for the old Namco Point Blank games. I wonder if that old developer crew worked on the Taiko series afterwards....
Hey, everyone already answered but I didn't. Sorry about that. Like blackMamba1187, I ordered on Friday and it got to me in NYC yesterday. Incredibly quick, cheap shipping, and the game and drum were discounted a tiny bit too. (Still a pricey bundle, but then I remember those Rock Band days and don't feel so bad.)
Dang. That's great. Probably will help push it to be released elsewhere.
It took me a good hour last night messing with the settings to get it to feel right, and I still don't think I have it completely right. A lot of guesswork.
I just used the auto adjustment press L at the TV options menu in game. The one where you sync up the rumble sound the from right joy-con to the sound coming from your speakers.
So quality is gud?
I'm REALLY tempted, man, but fuck, I need to save money!
Yeah! i don't get any missed notes, and the thing is super solidly constructed.
Got my drum, went from *hating* the game to *loving* it. Feels just like the arcade! A bit loud, hopefully it's not *too* loud through the wall to bug my roommate/landlord. Note, I'm playing with wooden sticks just like the arcade ones (rounded, not those weird kinda-cheaty pointy things). What sucks is, my TV's sound bar adds quite a lot of audio lag it turns out (and my crappy TV speakers still add a little). But, I can at least play with headphones plugged into the Switch for a zero-lag experience.
This is ridiculously fun. Haven't played with the taiko controller since like 2012. I'm still getting used to the timing though since it takes way longer to hit a note physically than to just hit a button on a controller. Is there a way to adjust this?
Edit: found an answer on the previous page. What does the middle slider do though? I'm trying to keep everything in sync. I thought I got things synced well for playing songs but then I tried the party games and completely failed the two I tried. It seemed like no matter what I hit the notes way too late, even when I felt like I was totally in rhythm. Can anyone give me some tips?

I was able to use my ps4 drum on the switch ver. with the ps3/ps4 to switch brook converter. all the buttons work also. Unfortunately it only work when plugged into the dock.
A quick question for people with the Switch drum. Does it register as a pro controller when you sync it to your system? I'm thinking about importing a drum for the western release and want to be assured it works.
Well, there it is - 2nd November is apparently the European launch date. Nothing seems to have been said about the localised track list as yet, although We Are appears in the trailer.
Edit: Didn't see it when I posted earlier, but there's already a topic for the trailer - https://www.resetera.com/threads/ta...un-switch-announcement-trailer-nov-2nd.58202/

Got my copy a week ago but finally got down to give this a try. The motion controls were absolutely horrible at first but once you pick up the deliberate actions required for detection it became really fun.
Edit: There's a free Shinkalion song on the eshop!

Can someone tell if the songlist of the western Switch-version will have different songs than the Japanese?
I'm still thinking about ordering the Japanese (plus the drum pad) via Amazon.co.jp, when the language patch is out anyway.

How do I get this? Do I need to switch regions to Japan and download from the eShop?
The image displayed for it in the system menu does look like a pro controller, with "USB" text underneath.
Apparently there is no plan to release the drums in the west for now.

If that's the case the game is going to tank. Why release it if you aren't bringing the drum to the US?
You can do it in game. There's a menu that will redirect you to the eshop so better have a JP account ready. Then you can just download the DLC.
You can either do that or create a new account. Just log into your Nintendo account and change your region in the profile options.
Played this in a tokyo arcade and loved it. Will buy IF they release the drums here. That's the whole point!?! Those who imported from amazon japan or wherever, does this play on your NA Switch without any issues? Including the drum? I don't need a JP eshop account or anything like that?
Demo just has two songs but I loved it. Hope they release a physical version with the drums. Even though I don't think it'll happen.
You don't need a JP account to play the game, but you'll need one if you want to get any of the DLC (including the free one that's up at the moment). Making a Japanese account is really easy - go to Nintendo's site, make a new account with the region set to Japan (using a different email address to your main one), make a new user profile on your Switch, link it with the new account, done.
The game and the drum work great on my NA Switch, no issues. You don't need a JP eshop account to play, but you do need one if you want to get DLC. There's a free song available right now as DLC but if you try downloading it with an NA account you get an error message.
Edit: beaten
Awesome, thanks. I can't region switch because I have like $100 eshop credit in my account, my understanding is that switching regions causes you to lose credit?
Awesome. Looking for that arcade experience at home. Will import :)
I just tried a few songs and mini games with the drum and I was doing horrible -
There is a strong possibility I am shit at the game but I had a feeling of lag between my hits and th registration, and in the games I missed almost all the hits...
I still need to check all the controls and options, and try to play with buttons to assess my shittyness level, but I really hope the controller is not the problem considering I paid 100€ for it
(ㆀ˘･з･˘)
I saw a menu for checking tv lag - but didn't understand how to set it right. I will wait for the English patch in August I guess.

Eh, it's not like the handheld ones have physical drums to begin with. It's still a very fun rhythm game without the drums, though I would prefer to have that option too. I just can't see how taking a risk on plastic instruments for a niche release in the US would be a good idea in 2018. That being said, if the US tracklist is good enough to get me to buy them (I might import otherwise), I will likely end up importing the drums (Switch + adapter...?) depending on the cost.
And the Switch is region free; only game you might run into issues with is MMOs that IP block, I think. I believe the only reason you'd need a JP eShop account is to get any DLC, but someone more familiar with that can speak to it.
EDIT: whoops, beaten
It will - which is why you create a new Nintendo Account rather than switching the region of your existing one :)
Apologies to the people I'm about to notify by quoting, but I think the following should be enough info to set it if you'd rather not wait?
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.
Thank you very much for your help - I will try to toggle the settings right now and see what happens. I will also try to play with a controller and buttons to see the difference.
