Taiko no Tatsujin: Tatacon de Dodon ga Don

Taiko no Tatsujin: Tatacon de Dodon ga Don is the very first home console release in Namco’s long-running rhythm franchise. Released for the PlayStation 2 on 24 October 2002, it introduced the iconic TaTaCon drum peripheral to living rooms across Japan. Because it was based on the Taiko no Tatsujin 3 arcade hardware, it famously brought arcade-accurate gameplay—along with the introduction of the brutal Oni (Demon) difficulty—straight to home players.
