Bandai Namco has given us a first look at Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun!'s upcoming Collector's Edition. Currently only confirmed for Europe, this bundle includes the lovely drum controller.
Details about the western release have slowly but surely been finding their way to our eager eyes for a while now - including the full soundtrack we can expect to play when it arrives - but now we can finally rest assured that a juicy bundle is definitely on the way. We recently took a long, hard look at the drum controller peripheral, coming to the conclusion that it provides a far better experience than the Joy-Con's motion controls can. Naturally, then, this is very good news indeed.


Pre-orders for the bundle have already gone live on Bandai Namco's official store, with the set costing a pretty hefty £99.99. Of course, considering this is a full retail release with an accessory included - and when thinking about how much it would have cost to import the drum from Asia - this isn't quite as shocking as it first appears.
Are you excited for this one? We can't wait to find our rhythm when the game launches this November. Bring it on!

(I wonder if they can ship this to america?)
This looks awesome! I'll be very tempting to try and get this one if possible.
That will be 110-120 euro. That is way too much
I saw it for about 70 euro in Taiwan a few weeks ago.
If they want this game to succeed they need to price it reasonably
That USK rating LOL.
£100!? I think I might skip the drum then...so much money for one game...
@Kimyonaakuma
Touch the drum with your finger on Handheld Mode.
Imagine the Switch version is much like NDS / 3DS version.
I'd like to get this game, ideally with the drum, but not sure I can justify spending £100 on it
Game and controller were loose €60 and €60 in asia so I already expected €100+ for EU.
@Anti-Matter What about it?
Why not America?
109,99 € on Amazon.de
@justin233 This... and why not a super mario party bundle either in NA... what did we do wrong?
Bandai Namco's official store, with the set costing a pretty hefty £99.99 WTF for a piece of cheap plastic. Bandai Namco are sinking lower and lower with there parasite DLC etc they get worse.
Would rather have a new Donkey Konga game, bring back the bongo's !! lol
I think I'll settle for making a drum set out of regular cardboard and play with the joy-cons. Wouldn't be as expensive, unless they come out with a Labo kit
Wait! People thought it would be cheaper. It was always gonna be this price.
It's a good price. If i would import it I would pay the same + shipping and customs.
@Rayquaza2510 No it isn't:
https://24h.pchome.com.tw/prod/DGBJDI-A90097CIM?fq=/S/DGBJBH
1590twd = 44.41 euro
with the drum:
https://24h.pchome.com.tw/prod/DGBJBH-A9009C9TT?fq=/S/DGBJBH
2690twd = 75.14 euro
that site doesn't work for me. on play-asia game is 51 € and drum is 65 €.
No way am I paying that much, the drum itself looks quite cheap really.
@Toadie as NintendoLife reported earlier the Bongos and the GC adapter work with Taiko Drum. So that should make you happy.
I hope the bundle comes to Australia as well.
@GauBan Haha i was only joking really, i'm not interested in this game, rhythm games aren't really my thing, though now i've said it i would actually love a new Donkey Konga, that was one of the few that i did enjoy
@GauBan wow, really?
O snap! That's a pre-order from me. Wasn't sure about importing but now i dont have to. 👍
@Megal0maniac yep. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/07/random_dk_bongos_are_the_perfect_substitute_for_hori_taiko_drum_controller
@Toadie don't lie. I see you on the ddr
I was hoping to pick one up when I was in Tokyo last week but couldn’t find it anywhere. Just preordered on the Bandai Namco site, quick and easy from my iPhone, free delivery to the U.K. Bit expensive but what I expected when I thought I’d be buying both separately.
@BigKing I said were for a reason.
Were = at launch
@Rayquaza2510 No, I was there during the launch. It was the same price as I mentioned before.
PlayAsia are NOT the prices in Asia.
