    Just a comment it can be cheaper like $2 less if you buy in US eshop. although you need to purchase us eshop giftcard if your card doesn’t process foreign purchase.

      Just note that if you still have credits in Australia account means that you lose it by switching.

      Best to make a separate account for US eshop

      thanks,
      Is it me or do you guys feel like the game is a bit blurry?
      Do I need a high refresh rate monitor?
      I'm on a 60 fps monitor.

      • KaTst3R on 12/08/2022 - 12:33

        Yea i got the same issue. It is running at a lower frame rate. I cant get back to the setup screen after the initial setup.

        I got another issue where by the yellow balloon (the one you hit it multiple times it blows and burst) doesnt work. There are some minor teething issues but such a good web game overall.

    • KaTst3R on 12/08/2022 - 12:43

      This link should be a deal by itself ! This is the real game on the web !

    Is this worth it without the drums (i.e. using motion, touch or a controller)? Seems to be mixed opinions on it.

    • poiboy03 on 06/08/2022 - 16:39

      We have it on Xbox (with controller) as well as Switch (with Hori Drum), Xbox experience was really bad I'd say 2/10 you'll miss ALOT, Switch (according to my sons) 7-8 out of 10, they also like to play at our local game-arcade with the giant taiko-drum

    • hymio on 06/08/2022 - 16:48

      I bought it around this price and I'd say it's worth it if not only for the hilarious party games on it. I think you need 4 people to play them but we found them really fun after a few drinks.
      Normal drumming was also decently but the motion control isn't super accurate but still fun, especially for drunk people and kids.

    • alcadive on 07/08/2022 - 07:15

        I feel that it may suitable for party but less depth to be explored as a game on a home game console like Switch.

        It maybe more enjoyable to be played on a big arcade

          Dunno why you're getting negged - its a fair comment. Its something that works well as a party game but I cant imagine sitting there banging on my drum home alone. Given the financial impost of the game and the drums, I dunno that I would bother myself.

          Music games are not for everyone. I dont feel a neg is warranted.

          Some people just enjoy playing the same song over and over again till perfection. I know i probably spent 10 hours on the song Furi Furi Nori Nori on Hard trying to get a big combo. And till this date im still trying to hold my own on Expert. To me that is depth. The game delivers different value to different gamers.

    • Gnosh on 06/08/2022 - 17:37

      I bought this game and spent around an hour being absolutely useless at it. Couldn't figure out wtf was going on or how to do what was needed. I will try it again as I'm sure I'll pick it up with more time, but jeez, that was a wild ride.

      • leexm101 on 07/08/2022 - 11:26

        I think at least you made a point about this game.

      -1 for price.

    • Guybrush57 on 06/08/2022 - 18:20

      That is a hefty price for a single accessory that likely won't be able to be used anywhere else (I don't know anything about the game).

      Isn’t that just the regular Hori drum?

  • CartoonPizza on 06/08/2022 - 17:38

    Are the Taiko drum controllers on AliExpress any good?

  • Berick on 06/08/2022 - 18:32
    +1

    Why is this Switch game in particular always advertised when it receives a discount? Plenty of other good games on the eShop go down to 80%+ off as well. Just curious.

    • AnonyL on 06/08/2022 - 19:34
      +2

      There's a few reasons:
      - hard to come by physically generally, and is best with a physical drum controller that pushes up the price and rarity, so people see this and jump on it thinking it's a great deal
      - some people really, really love the game
      - rhythm games are a special type of game with a quite specific audience (outside of people picking it up because it "looks fun") so it's a common to see the fanbase trying to expand their reach

  • belongsinforums on 06/08/2022 - 19:48

    note that the joy cons are super unreliable and drumming using motion controls will simply frustrate you. no comparison with the arcade version. your only recourse is to buy a 3rd party big drum controller and they arent cheap

    • Richardc on 06/08/2022 - 20:03

      Get those from taobao.

      • kwchaz on 07/08/2022 - 12:33

        Any recommendations? I want the Taiko Force but that's like, 500USD just for the drum let alone the shipping haha…
