@@lucaskrywicki1478 Kirby has easier timing, like it says in the character select screen. So you can be behind/before the actual timing a bit more and still get your streak going.
Thank you for having me! I had a blast playing this with you. You are an AWESOME drummer and it totally translates to this game ☺️ Shout outs to Sunny for thinking of us and tracking down the drum controllers all the way from Japan 🙏
Now that he has the drum who wants to see him use the drum to clear uncleared Super Expert levels with it? (You can change the shoulder buttons to be face buttons in the Controller Button Mapping option on the Switch)
You CAN buy this game in the states, but you can only buy it digitally. Really hope you play more of this. This game is an arcade classic in Japan! P.S. When you play Hopes and Dreams, don’t do anything. All 4 tracks comprise a hidden message at end as a nod to Undertale. P.P.S. Haha funnee P.P.P.S. Early lol
I never thought I'd see Ryu play Taiko in my entire life, and I'm pretty impressed you're already playing Oni (Extreme) stuff! One thing you have to know is that characters actually have an effect on the gameplay; for example Kirby makes the timing easier. Each character has their own "perks" and some even make the game harder! This version of the game also has an online mode with a ranking system where you can play against other people, you should give it a try!
Just noticed that I haven't actually played it since they added the online mode... gotta check that out soon! It's incredibly fun, even without the drum controller.
Just to make you feel a bit better, he had played it before. At the start he said he loved it before he even started playing and he had already gotten an award for the first level I believe. (Silver Trophy) though yeah he's pretty good.
@@pagatryx5451 Ryu's also a musician and plays drums, guitar, and piano as far as i know. ik it doesnt really automatically make u better at the game but he has the grip and knows how to hit it.
@@pipdog9929 Well, yeah but even the worlds best drummer would struggle in the harder levels. Those that are the absolute best at rhythm games can literally do it with their eyes closed as they learn off the pattern completely. What would actually help him the most is not knowing how to hit the drum, but knowing when too. The more experienced he is with music, the better he will be at predicting the next note and timing it, only looking to see where to hit, not when too. So being a good drummer would help in that regard.
@@pagatryx5451 A good musician not only will struggle, but won't hit a note without spamming lol. Things like Sigmund or Beethoven Virus (Taiko versions obviously) are impossible without months of practice.
Ryu "oh my desk is dirty, this is embarassing, you guys" Me: "looks down to his desk, loaded up with thread, liquid latex, fabric and random knickknacks" .... yes Ryu..... your desk is .... very dirty....
Just as a note, you can buy this in America as Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun. It's e-shop only unfortunately, and the drum it's only sold in Japan and Europe. However! The European version is totally compatible with US DLC! (source: got it on holiday from my girlfriend in Belgium. Works perfect.)
Yes, more of this, please. This was super enjoyable and it diversifies your channel and content. I loved this video and would love to see more of this. It was really nice to see and also the video has some good music as well. Anybody, like if you agree with me.
Love this game. When we visited Japan I went to arcades a couple of times and played (well, flopped at) both this and MaiMai. Wish they had the units where I live, they're both so addictive.
Omg I love this game! I bought it while in Japan because I loved the actual arcade versions so much xD the drum kit came out after I left Japan and it's so expensive to ship it to Aus but I know it makes the game so much more fun! Seeing you play makes me want to get back into it haha

Genuinely happy to see Ryu this happy while playing a video game. Not that he isn’t normally cheery but this game brought his love for music into the picture and you can see it on his face, in his laugh and speech as well as that huge genuine smile he has while shredding those beats out. He looked like he was really having a blast.

I love this game. I picked the drum up while I was on China and the download version was on sale. So good! It's crazy you played it while on your legs though. It feels unstable by itself. It actually recommends putting water bottles in the back to help stabilize it. That really does help but I've found one of those padded 5 pound dumbbells is perfect for the job. I was first introduced to this game at an arcade in either Australia or Hong Kong. It's so fun and really scratches that rythym itch. It's great that more people are learning about it thanks to UA-camrs like you!
At the start of the video I was like: "Oh a taiko game, those can get pretty crazy" "Oh man, he's going straight to a 6 star music? He's going to get destroyed" "WHAT? HOW IS HE THAT GOOD ALREADY???"
you can use controller buttons or joy cons as "mallets". Definitely use the buttons if you don't have a drum though, the joy con mallet thing doesn't really work whatsoever, it often thinks you hit the middle when you wanted to hit the rim
Playing with Joycons is hard, especially with fast songs, as you lack feedback of when exactly your hit registers and the movement detection is sometimes a little off. Nevertheless it's still a ton of fun, so much that I prefer it over button mode, even though you usually score lower. It's especially hilarious in multiplayer when everyone's frantically whacking in the air :D
This video was such an amazing surprise! I love playing Taiko no Tatsujin. It's probably my most played game on Switch. It's very nice that you got a drum (two , even!) since they're somewhat rare and expensive. I loved the video so much that I'll forgive you for playing with Kirby, hahaha. (just fyi, he's low-key a cheat; makes the game judge your hits much more leniently) I definitely recommend playing multiplayer. Sometimes it's a bit hard to find a match due to timezones, since most players are Japanese, but you can usually find one easily at night. What's more, you can unlock some goodies (like a free extra song!) by completing online challenges. Also, you can unlock some cool characters by playing Party Mode. The last character you unlock actually makes the game HARDER, kind of the opposite of Kirby, but it takes a while of playing Party Mode to unlock. I'm definitely glad you found this game and hope you do more videos in the future! :D
I’ve played this game before in some Japanese arcades, and it’s an amazing experience. You’ve got the arcade lights and sounds all around you, you’re with your friend looking through all the songs deciding which one to choose, and a few feet away from you there are two random kids absolutely DESTROYING some cool song on the hardest difficulty. It’s hard to describe in words, you just have to be there to know what I’m saying. If you ever get a chance to play this in an arcade, you have to do it.
OMG I have been playing this game since primary school! From nds to 3ds to wii and now Switch! So freaking happy and shocked to see ryu playing it. Really didn't expect it. Thank you so much for introducing this game to your audiences especially for those who didn't know it first hand. btw this game is actually very very famous in Japan and generally in Asia i think. It is one of the best and most famous music rhythm game made by Nintendo.
I had no clue you were a fellow drummer! You're sick dude! 🤟 we have this over in the UK for a pretty penny but I bought it the minute it was realised, having played in during a visit to Japan in an arcade with the huge bongo drums! Anyway, in total awe of how skilled you are! More vids of this pleaseeee, also play the theme song from AOT or Your Name 😍
For this game, I recommend using the characters that look like a set of drumsticks (Or Bachi). I find it easier to use that character because sometimes I mix up the Don (red beats) and Ka (Blue beats) and it treats both the same so it feels a bit easier to get back into, or keep the rhythm. That's just my preference.
Hell yeah! Already a bangin video and then a wild Tammy appears! I hope they release an English version I’ve been jonesin’ for a new GH type game for a while now.
I played this game for almost my entire childhood. It was in Japanese and I did not understand a word. But the game is so fun that I completely ignored that. I was a child so I did not care much about anything besides the gameplay and the fancy pictures anyway. Thank you very much for making this video and reminding me of my fun childhood.
I had so much fun figuring out the bass line for jump up superstar a while ago (might also be 2 years ago or so...). This song is just great at all points and so was it to watch you 2 playing it
I've been playing taiko no tatsujin since 2014. The 3 psp ones, the 3 on nds, the 5 on wii and the switch one. On the switch version I did perfect on all the song on max difficulty except the dlc songs and the hardest one(souryu no ran). Saludos de Argentina :) me alegra ver que más gente juegue a mi juego favorito
14:53 yes yes yes. I want to see a pure extreme video. Btw the quality of this video is amazing. From the editin to the camera angles, and the collab at the end. What a grat video. Keep it up.
This looks super fun! As someone who is completely awful at rhythm games yet play them nonetheless, its awesome watching someone do so well! Keep up the awesome work Ryu!!!
Okay, so my bf and I were already loving this video... He's a drummer and has been wanting this game for a while, so watching you was cool! But TAMMY MADE THE WHOLE VIDEO 😂💕 That was precious af
As others have mentioned, this game is available in the US as a download, and has pretty significant discounts from time to time. It's normally a $50 game (even as a download without the drum accessory), but I snagged it for only $15 during an eShop sale. While I wish I had the drum accessory, that's a bit expensive to import, so I opted to just play using the controller buttons, which work surpringly well, especially if you use the Joy-Con in the grip or play in handheld mode. The fact that the Joy-Con buttons have very little travel when pressed and the D-pad is divided into separate buttons is actually useful in this instance. It allowed me to press in very quick succession. When I fail, it's usually because my brain can't keep up, not because I'm unable to press the buttons fast/accurately enough. The game supports motion controls as well, but I found them to be very unreliable. The game is supposed to distinguish between DON and KA based on the angle of your downward swing, but it frequently just registered a DON no matter what I did. It also seemed to make my hit timing less precise. Maybe there's a knack to playing with motion controls, but I couldn't figure it out. Playing by hitting the touch screen is a third option, but for some odd reason, you have to keep the Joy-Con attached to play this way, which just makes things more cumbersome. Perhaps if I had capacitive drum sticks (if such things exist) and a very stable stand, this could work, but trying to touch the screen to the rhythm with the system in my lap was too awkward, and again seemed to have less accurate timing. Better than motion, but still not great. Using buttons did take some getting used to, but I became fairly proficient once I did. As a side note, you can drumroll insanely fast by rapidly pressing all the face/shoulder buttons. It hurts my hand to do this though and also messes with my thumb positioning, potentially causing me to miss follow up notes, so I guess that's the tradeoff. So yeah, throw it in your wishlist and wait to be notified of a sale. Nintendo usually sends me an email whenever one of my wishlist items has a discount, though I'm not sure if there's some setting that needs to be turned on for that. At $15, I was quite happy with my purchase. There is a ton of music included, plus quite a few free DLC tracks, most of which were just released recently. In addition, playing the online mode can unlock even more tracks, though it's a bit of a grind. You basically have to play 30 different tracks over the course of a month to unlock an extra one. There are 10 tracks available to play each week, and the track you end up playing out of that list is chosen at random, so you'll very likely have to play more than 10 matches to see each track. And getting matched with someone can be pretty slow sometimes. It probably wouldn't be so bad, but the game only matches you with people who choose the same difficulty level as you. There's no "I don't care, just match me with someone, anyone, PLEASE" option, so I ended up jumping around between difficulty levels looking for a match. It's not ideal and drags the process out even more. So, it takes even longer to play the full list of that week's tracks. Oh, and to further complicate matters, 2 of the 10 tracks always seem to be paid DLC tracks, so if you don't own them, you can't play them here either, which means you must play all four weeks in order to unlock a new track, and you can't afford to miss more than 2 at any given point. So yeah, unlocking that extra track each month requires quite a bit of dedication. It's not an enormous time commitment, but you have to remember to come back each week. One other nitpick is the fact that the DLC tracks seem pretty expensive, though it could be on par with stuff like Rock Band. I don't know. I just know it's more than I want to spend. I got so much for just $15 that seeing a pack of 4 tracks for $5 seems a bit high. There are a ton of different packs available, so getting all the DLC could get super pricey. I wish there were a way to get it all as a bundle at a discount. Picking and choosing songs is fine if you know what you're getting, but I'm not familiar with most of these, probably because I'm not Japanese. Overall though, I really enjoy this game. Get it if you can, with or without the drum. Seriously, I need more people to play against online!

There's always that one note at the end designed to solely fuck you over
I've been playing taiko no tatsujin since 2014. The 3 psp ones, the 3 on nds, the 5 on wii and the switch one. On the switch version I did perfect on all the song on max difficulty except the dlc songs and the hardest one(souryu no ran). Saludos de Argentina :) me alegra ver que más gente juegue a mi juego favorito
It is so adorable to watch Ryu and Tammy playing togheter!
Super awesome game to see you play!!! Hope we get to see some more in the future. Also I love the Tammy cameo on youtube!
Oh man! I used to have Taiko Drum Master back on the PS2! This brings back memories.
The game's a digital download in the US. The drum is on Amazon at a markup (naturally)
Playing this for a few years now on ps4 and it's a gem ^^. Glad you enjoyed it :D
damn that was a great video. keep it up! and thank you for showing us this hidden gem!
Drum lessons at school: hands dangling usually after an hour
Ryukahr: sweating in two minutes
This is more difficult than drum lessons
Yo this extra quality editing is awesome! Glad you try wacky and fun games like these alongside ur regular content to keep us entertained thank you :)
14:53 yes yes yes. I want to see a pure extreme video. Btw the quality of this video is amazing. From the editin to the camera angles, and the collab at the end. What a grat video. Keep it up.
Not gonna lie, you're doing better than most people for a beginner
Loved this video. Ryu seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself and happy. Keep it up
This video it’s just awesome! I’ll be waiting for more videos of this game
I hope you can do more of this game! I really enjoyed this video!
This looks super fun! As someone who is completely awful at rhythm games yet play them nonetheless, its awesome watching someone do so well! Keep up the awesome work Ryu!!!
Fun little fact! The U shaped rockers on the back of the drum are actually for two water bottles to rest to give the drum more weight
I loved this video a lot, im glad you put it on youtube. Thanks dad
It's so great to watch a video where Ryu is visibly having so much fun!
I'm sure he always enjoys himself while playing video games but this just..! ♥
As a percussionist, I find this extremely entertaining. Nice video, Ryu.
the last part was so wholesome
After RT’s vid on this as well as his rhythm heaven fever vid, I needed this.
y e s
Okay, so my bf and I were already loving this video... He's a drummer and has been wanting this game for a while, so watching you was cool!
But TAMMY MADE THE WHOLE VIDEO 😂💕 That was precious af
I ordered my drum over a month ago, but corona delayed it. Glad you're enjoying this amazing game!
It was awesome! Keep 'em coming! Also, the Tammy surprise at the end: 💯
I clicked on this video expecting just a normal video but seeing the happiness from Ryu and Tami at the end was so insanely wholesome and next level
As others have mentioned, this game is available in the US as a download, and has pretty significant discounts from time to time. It's normally a $50 game (even as a download without the drum accessory), but I snagged it for only $15 during an eShop sale. While I wish I had the drum accessory, that's a bit expensive to import, so I opted to just play using the controller buttons, which work surpringly well, especially if you use the Joy-Con in the grip or play in handheld mode. The fact that the Joy-Con buttons have very little travel when pressed and the D-pad is divided into separate buttons is actually useful in this instance. It allowed me to press in very quick succession. When I fail, it's usually because my brain can't keep up, not because I'm unable to press the buttons fast/accurately enough. The game supports motion controls as well, but I found them to be very unreliable. The game is supposed to distinguish between DON and KA based on the angle of your downward swing, but it frequently just registered a DON no matter what I did. It also seemed to make my hit timing less precise. Maybe there's a knack to playing with motion controls, but I couldn't figure it out. Playing by hitting the touch screen is a third option, but for some odd reason, you have to keep the Joy-Con attached to play this way, which just makes things more cumbersome. Perhaps if I had capacitive drum sticks (if such things exist) and a very stable stand, this could work, but trying to touch the screen to the rhythm with the system in my lap was too awkward, and again seemed to have less accurate timing. Better than motion, but still not great. Using buttons did take some getting used to, but I became fairly proficient once I did. As a side note, you can drumroll insanely fast by rapidly pressing all the face/shoulder buttons. It hurts my hand to do this though and also messes with my thumb positioning, potentially causing me to miss follow up notes, so I guess that's the tradeoff.
So yeah, throw it in your wishlist and wait to be notified of a sale. Nintendo usually sends me an email whenever one of my wishlist items has a discount, though I'm not sure if there's some setting that needs to be turned on for that. At $15, I was quite happy with my purchase. There is a ton of music included, plus quite a few free DLC tracks, most of which were just released recently. In addition, playing the online mode can unlock even more tracks, though it's a bit of a grind. You basically have to play 30 different tracks over the course of a month to unlock an extra one. There are 10 tracks available to play each week, and the track you end up playing out of that list is chosen at random, so you'll very likely have to play more than 10 matches to see each track. And getting matched with someone can be pretty slow sometimes. It probably wouldn't be so bad, but the game only matches you with people who choose the same difficulty level as you. There's no "I don't care, just match me with someone, anyone, PLEASE" option, so I ended up jumping around between difficulty levels looking for a match. It's not ideal and drags the process out even more. So, it takes even longer to play the full list of that week's tracks. Oh, and to further complicate matters, 2 of the 10 tracks always seem to be paid DLC tracks, so if you don't own them, you can't play them here either, which means you must play all four weeks in order to unlock a new track, and you can't afford to miss more than 2 at any given point. So yeah, unlocking that extra track each month requires quite a bit of dedication. It's not an enormous time commitment, but you have to remember to come back each week.
One other nitpick is the fact that the DLC tracks seem pretty expensive, though it could be on par with stuff like Rock Band. I don't know. I just know it's more than I want to spend. I got so much for just $15 that seeing a pack of 4 tracks for $5 seems a bit high. There are a ton of different packs available, so getting all the DLC could get super pricey. I wish there were a way to get it all as a bundle at a discount. Picking and choosing songs is fine if you know what you're getting, but I'm not familiar with most of these, probably because I'm not Japanese.
Overall though, I really enjoy this game. Get it if you can, with or without the drum. Seriously, I need more people to play against online!
