Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! is an arcade rhythm game developed by Bandai Namco Studios, released for Nintendo Switch in 2018. Based on the long-running Japanese arcade series, the game tasks players with hitting drum beats in time with a diverse soundtrack of songs. On Switch, players can use motion controls as an alternative input method, simulating the physical taiko drumming experience without dedicated hardware. The game includes a roster of unlockable characters and supports multiplayer, allowing groups to compete and determine who can keep the best rhythm. Nintendo Switch-specific social and connectivity features are also incorporated, making it accessible for both solo play and group settings. The title brings a franchise that has historically been confined to Japanese arcades to a home console audience in a portable and living-room-friendly format.
