Although this particular music game series has been around since 2001, it is clearly geared toward the Japanese market with cutesy graphics and a host of songs from popular anime franchises. Taiko No Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is the first title in the series to offer the Taiko Music Pass. It gives players access to a catalog of more than 500 songs along with monthly updates adding new songs. 

Taiko No Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is coming to Nintendo Switch on September 23, 2022. Pre-orders for the game are now available for the Standard Edition and the Taiko No Tatsujin Drum Controller.
