Namco Taiko Blog (April 10 2014) - Momoiro Update V15.06: GMT First Batch and More Mario Kart


Among all the hype 3DS2 is generating, today's official blog post stays more down to earth with an announcement for another AC0 Momoiro update on April 17... and then generate another round of hype.

First and foremost, the first batch of Game Music Triangle collaboration songs will arrive with this update! This batch features three remastered tunes, each from a signature game of the three companies:
  • 電車で電車でGO!GO!GO!GC! -GMT remix- / Densha de Densha de GO!GO!GO!GC! -GMT remix-
    Based on "J.A.M no Densha de Densha de GO!GO!GO!" (J.A.M.の電車で電車でGO!GO!GO!) from the PlayStation version of Densha de Go!, remixed by COSIO from ZUNTATA (TAITO's sound team).
  • ファンタジーゾーン OPA-OPA! -GMT remix- / Fantasy Zone OPA-OPA! -GMT remix-
    Based on "OPA-OPA!・SHOPPING" from Fantasy Zone, remixed by Hiro from SEGA's sound team.
  • RIDGE RACER STEPS -GMT remix-
    Based on "Ridge Racer (POWER REMIX)" from Ridge Racer, remixed by Yuji Masubuchi from Namco's sound team.
The songs will hit all of Taiko AC0 Momoiro, Groove Coaster (Arcade) and maimai GreeN Plus on the same day. In Taiko specifically, you can see special GMT2014-branded backgrounds when playing these songs! Check out how the gameplay would look like from the GMT main site!

In addition to the GMT songs, three more songs will also hit the arcade scene - two Anime songs expected to be included in 3DS2, and one Game Music tune transferred right from Wii U1.
  • 烈車戦隊トッキュウジャー / Ressha Sentai ToQger
  • ハピネスチャージプリキュア! WOW! / HappinessCharge PreCure! WOW!
  • ポケットモンスター X・Y 野生ポケモン戦メドレー / Pokemon X/Y Wild Pokemon Battle Medley

More collaboration news. As previously noted, Mario Kart ACGPDX will be giving out items and points for playing the driving arcade game after a AC0 Momoiro credit. What we weren't told until today is that AC0 Momoiro will also be giving out gifts for playing after a Mario Kart credit!


By playing Mario Kart ACGPDX then AC0 Momoiro with the same Banapassport card, you will receive both Mario and Luigi full-body costumes and 500 DonPoints! After a first grant you won't get the outfits again, but for each subsequent Mario Kart → Taiko play you can still get the 500 DonPoints. Talk about a nice campaign for saving up for shop items or title gacha.
