"Anecdotal"
To the rhythm of the drums, the game scrolls through J-pop, anime, classical and hits of every kind in a joyful festive explosion. Striking the skin and the rim in time delivers an immediate, unifying pleasure. This musical generosity, colourful and good-natured, makes the game an essential of the Japanese-style party.

Is Taiko no Tatsujin - Wii U Version! still worth playing in 2026?
A rhythm game from Bandai Namco, this Taiko no Tatsujin on Wii U has you beat a virtual drum in time to a vast tracklist blending Japanese pop, anime, classical and game themes. The note readability, the infectious good cheer and the multiplayer make it a convivial musical party, ideal for the family. Control via stick or buttons, lacking the dedicated drum, loses a little feel. The Japan exclusivity limits access. A good rhythm game for genre fans and festive multiplayer evenings.
