Namco Taiko Blog (28 February 2013): Sorairo UStream

Straight away the announcement is made: Taiko Team will be airing a livestream on March 8th, 2013, starting at 8pm Japan time! It's been such a long time since the last stream! More Tatsu-Do*snip*

Anyway, this stream lasts an hour and will showcase Taiko 0 Sorairo Version being played by the members of the team, including all new songs not shown at JAEPO. We're getting really close to the release of the update so let's see the whole default songlist already! It won;t be just Namco Original songs; there's other songs as well.

There's another mystery announcement planned for the stream besides AC0S, and it's going to be groundbreaking! What's this? A new song? A soundtrack CD? A new console Taiko? An event?

Watch the stream here on NBGI's UStream channel. See you on March 8!

One more thing, and this is regarding the current Taiko firmware, Katsu-Don. Before the release of Sorairo, there will be one final firmware update to Katsu-Don (Game Version 8.03), and this actually removes a few things and prepares arcade cabinets nationwide for the inevitable jump to Sorairo.


The changes are:

-Internal preparation for Sorairo
-Temporary removal of Dojo Ranking mode
-Temporary removal of displayed highscores on song selection screen

Don't worry about all the current rankings and scores you have though; they will be transferred to Sorairo safely when the time comes.

The final update will go live on March 6th, 2013. Now let's get hyped for Sorairo!
