Taiko Drum Master's mascot shows up in Puzzle and Dragons
Arcade memories
You can now add the mascot for PS2 classic Taiko Drum Master to uber popular stuff-matcher Puzzle and Dragons, thanks to a new collaboration between GungHo and Namco.
You can get the Taiko God Don-chan, and his Ultimate a Evolution. And there are new stages with four difficulties, and skill-ups for Ra, Lilith, and more. The content is accessible on both iOS and Android.
Sadly, this doesn't seem to have encouraged Namco to bring Taiko No Tatsujin + - the Japanese only iOS edition of the drumming sim - to the west. Boo and indeed hiss.
