Namco Taiko Blog (25 July 2016): Taiko AC Red Game Version 1.10


Seven whole items to cover in this big update, whew! Let's see what's in the gift box for arcade players this coming month.
First off, new songs! Everyone loves new songs!

New Songs
Try Everything (トライ・エヴリシング) New!
Zootopia
ChouzetsuDynamic (超絶☆ダイナミック!) New!
Dragon Ball Super
Orb no Inori (オーブの祈り) New!
Ultraman Orb
Ikari o Kure yo (怒りをくれよ) Arcade Debut
One Piece Film Gold
 Battle -Denkousekka- (バトル-電光石火-) Arcade Debut
Puzzle & Dragons X
Kessen!! (決戦!!) Revival
Puzzle & Dragons Z
SAKURA EXHAUST New!
Amaterasu (天照) New!
Tatsh a.k.a Zeami

Some expected Namco Original songs and new licenses, some a surprise! Kessen!! being revived in the arcade space is nice (though whether it stays there permanently this time is another question), and the one licensed song that stands out among the rest has to be Try Everything, the theme song to Disney's Zootopia, which came out earlier this year to much fanfare, even in Japan. I guess it's no surprise since Namco have already secured rights for Frozen's songs before! It'll most likely be the Japanese version however, so, sorry if there are any Shakira fans around.

Second on the list is a collaboration with the new One Piece movie, ONE PIECE FILM GOLD.



Play its theme song, Ikari o Kureyo, from the date of the update to September 4th and get this Rufy-based costume! The song will also get its own folder on the songlist to further highlight its importance (and for maximum ad revenue, of course)!

Always in collaboration news is a welcomed addition for the ever-lasting Sentai series' fans, as a brand new title will let players unlock the Zyuoh Eagle (ジュウオウイーグル) by playing Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger once.


And now, prepare to break out your Magic Stones savings, because another collab on the cards is with Puzzle and Dragons yet again!


Gather all eight Puchi-chara from the game from the day of the update to September 13th! This also includes Tamazo X Don-chan, which is coming to Taiko Dokodon! Mystery Adventure as a party member.

Speaking of that game, the blog also covers the Dokodon! Mystery Adventure event, but we've done that in another post, together with the news on customizable title backgrounds (those were on the latest livestream for Taiko Red). What is new are the five songs available from the 3DS3 event, all revealed! They are:

August 8th: Mada Saitama 2000 (まださいたま2000)
August 15th: Good-bye my earth
August 22nd: Utsukushiku Sewashiki Danube (美しく忙しきドナウ)
August 29th: Lightning Dance
September 5th: Tabaneito (束ね糸)

Last but not least, with server maintenance coming to a close, the team is happy to announce that from Game Version 1.10 onwards, players will once again be able to send challenges to their friends and organize competitions of their own!

Game Version 1.10 will go live on August 3rd, 2016. More on that date!
