Nintendo Switch: Question about Winter Anime Pack availability (Europe)

Hi guys! I recently acquired the game and start having a blast with my daughter in law. She loves Frozen movies so I saw there was the Winter Anime Pack with few of them. But seems to be banished from earth.
Was this a temporary pack that now is gone? Or is it only sold in certain territories?

I own the following 2 games, both for Nintendo Switch.
- Drum N Fun
- Rhythm Festival

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Song list in US Nijiro cabs?

I haven't got the chance to try the US cabs in Burbank because it's still offline. I just want to know if the song list is the same as Asia/Oceania versions of this game or it's different?

PS2 Games: Play more than 2 songs at once?

Hello! I'm playing Taiko no Tatsujin: Waku Waku Anime Matsuri, and it only let's me play 2 songs before kicking me back out to the menu. Is there a way to set it up so that I can just go back to the song selection menu like in the NA Taiko Drum Master?

Thanks for the help!

A follow-up on the issue of TNDE doesn't save score

Old dicussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/taikonotatsujin/comments/18l1esf/taikonijiirodondaex_41_wont_save_song_results/

The fix mentioned by u/Daemonian (shout out to him) does fix the issue mentioned in the post, but then I had another issue related to saving scores.

Problem: If you get a high score in any difficulty, any score below than that won't record (even though they are in different difficulty category)

Example scenario: On Song X I get 1000k points on Easy. Then I get 980k on the same song at Normal difficulty. After the result screen disappears, you can see that you got 980k on Normal with the middle left display while you're hovering on the song. But after exiting the game and going in again, it will show that you score 0 on Normal (even though the purple medal and clear/FC/DFC crown is still there)

Fix (?): I recognize the pattern that any score below than the highest score won't be recorded, so I check the .tja.score.ini file of the song. It seems that any score that goes below the Score= field won't get recorded (hell, I don't even know what that field is for since high score is only valid if it's in a specific difficulty). Hence, the fix is to set it to 0 every time before you play so that any new score can be a high score. But doing so manually will be very tedious as you have tons of songs, so I took the liberty of inheriting u/Daemonian script and update it a little bit (with the help of ChatGPT as I have no knowledge in writing PowerShell script)

$folderPath = Get-Location
$searchText = @("PerfectRange=41.7", "GoodRange=108.4", "PoorRange=124.7")
$replaceText = @("PerfectRange=25", "GoodRange=75", "PoorRange=108")

Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter *.tja.score.ini | ForEach-Object {
    $filePath = $_.FullName

    # Skip if the file doesn't exist
    if (!(Test-Path -Path $filePath)) {
        Write-Warning "Skipping missing or inaccessible file: $filePath"
        return
    }

    try {
        $content = [IO.File]::ReadAllText($filePath)

        foreach ($i in 0..2) {
            $content = $content -replace [regex]::Escape($searchText[$i]), $replaceText[$i]
        }

        $content = $content -replace '(?<=Score=)\d+', '0'

        Set-Content -Path $filePath -Value $content
    } catch {
        Write-Warning "An error occurred with file: $filePath. Skipping."
    }
}

It's basically the old script with some modification:

- More up-to-date method to read file

- Catch an error where the score file can't be found (but it's actually there, somehow the script can't read the score file. I get this error with the song "Miku Miku ni Shite Ageru♪ [Shite Yan yo]")

- More importantly, include the automation of setting score = 0 that mentioned above

I have only tested this in only a few songs so feel free to try it out. Any feedback on the script (improvement, addressing the error in point number 2, etc.) is welcomed!

Final note: It sucks that there are still a few issues with TNDE because it receives no updates, but I still find the simulator bringing me the closest arcade experience so I still stick with it :D

Motion clarity settings for Taiko no Tatusjin PC

Hi all,

My current monitor is the ASUS VG259QM, it's a 240 (280) hz refresh rate panel. Taiko has probably been the first proper motion clarity "test" I've noticed in the two years I've had this monitor. Notes have a noticeable "blur" around them as well as some grey ghosting. V-sync is off and I don't notice much of a difference between the "automatic" and "120 hz" mode for the in-game settings. So I presume there must be some tweaking to do to my monitor itself.

Currently set to 280 hz, G-sync is on (VRR), Overdrive is set to 120 (Meant to be the best balance between overshoot and ghosting), ELMB-Sync is off, shadowboost is off.

Not sure if anyone here would be able to help, but it feels like this makes my monitor feel a lot worse than it actually is when its getting stress tested like this and hopefully there's a simple thing I missed out on that would alleviate this.

Thanks!

Hori drum right ka broken

I have been using the hori drum for a couple months and after maybe about a month the right ka sensor started bugging. Every few seconds the right ka would switch from not registering a hit, to holding down the right ka and spamming through menus. After a few minutes the issue fixed itself, however it started happening again recently and hasn't fixed itself even after a few days. Although I mainly use the right ka, I have never used wooden bachi or tried modding it. Is there anything that I can do to fix this issue?

How is the « Don Don Fitness » mode ?

Hello,

While I’m informing about this game I have discovered there is a fitness mode called « Don Don fitness ».

I’m wondering if this game mode is fun and is it good as a fitness mode (not as intense as Ring Fit obviously) ?

I have seen a gameplay trailer with japanese voice (but english subtitles).

It reminds me of a light Beat Saber mini game.

Is it good ? And are there all the songs available in this mode ?

Many thanks.

Does anyone know when the seasons change at the Don Medal Shop?

I realised I haven’t been using my coins, and I have about 50 unused autumn coins which will go to waste once the season resets. I’m trying to work out if I need to get to a cabinet ASAP to cash them in for songs, or if I can wait a week when it’s better for my schedule!

A: The strongest and earliest design. B: The older C3 model, with the thinnest tip and the highest craftsmanship. C: The latest C3 model, slightly thicker at the tip compared to B. Just launched!

Compaitability

Hey guys, I’m based in Australia and looking to get a taiko drum controller for Nintendo and a game for Christmas. On the play Asia website, there’s a drum available that says Japan compatible and 2 others which are Asia and US compatible (out of stock). Same with the games. Does this mean I can’t purchase the Japan ones/ won’t work in Australia? Also, I’d be looking to get Rhythm Festival but if anyone has other suggestions/ tips - I’d be thankful to hear your insights :) Thank you so much!

Hori ps5 drum left side don unresponsive

Fresh out of the box, the ps5 drum doesn’t respond to any hits from the drum for my left side don. When I press down the left side with a finger or bachi it responds but not when it’s a normal hit. Any way to fix this?

Tdc10 or Iine pro max?

I have been meaning to get an Iine but I saw that the tdc10 released and I have not seen any vids about the rolling and the long streaks of notes like in yugen no ran or xa. If any tdc10 owners could tell me about it or have a vid that you could show me that would be great

Steam on Linux Mint with onboard graphics

Long shot this, but does anyone know if Taiko Rhythm Festival will run on I5 9400T onboard graphics on Steam on Linux Mint?

The Steam minimum graphics cards seem excessive for what looks like very simple graphics.

Minimum: GeForce GTX 750 Ti, 2 GB / AMD Radeon HD 7770, 2 GB

Also, does the Hori Switch drum show up in Linux similar to how it does in Windows?

I'd love to play this game again after discovering it in arcades in Japan, but I can't justify buying a whole Switch and all the kit just for this 😆

Another question comes to mind. What is the cheapest way to play this (or another Taiko game) in the UK with a drum controller?

Thanks 🙏

EDIT

No, doesn't work, it's platform-locked to Windows.

Sooo… are they just leaving the Switch version of the game to rot then?

Is switch getting more songs? I saw that someone mentioned an Oshi no Ko song pack but I didn’t find it on the switch eshop. Is the switch version discontinued? If so, fucking why?

Edit: I just launched the game and it says that Oshi no Ko pack will be available December 5th. How do PC players have it?

Rhythmagica TDC10 crosstalk

Hey! Started messing around with the TDC10 yesterday and it’s been a FANTASTIC upgrade from the Hori drum. I am having a bit of an issue though. Sometimes when I hit KAT, it registers a DON, and vice versa. I’m not sure where the sensors overlap, but it’s messing with things juuuuust enough that I’m coming here for help. I think messing around with sensitivity settings will help this issue, but I don’t really know what to do…would appreciate some help!!

Bachis recommendations for the Rhytmagica TDC10?

The bachis that I find on Amazon or other conventional stores I feel are too big or heavy for control (Image to highlight )

Thank you so much

I know this is a long shot but to the person I played with I'd like to thank you, I was the trans girl with glasses who likes touhou too much and who ended up getting hurt and went to get a frappe, I've been having a really bad week and this really helped make my week a little bit better, I really hope to play with you again some time :D
