Play Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Touch de Dokodon! Online

Summary

Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Touch de Dokodon! turns the Nintendo DS into a virtual Taiko drum, letting you tap two stylus pens on the touch screen where a large drum graphic glows in time with the music. While you can use the D‑pad for a button‑only option, the game really shines when you wield the bundled “Bachi Pens” and feel the rhythm under your fingertips.

The core experience splits into Free Play, where you choose any unlocked track, and Daily Dojo, a once‑a‑day challenge that throws a random song at you. Songs are graded across four tiers—Flower, Bamboo, Tree, and the hidden Demon (Oni) mode, which you must unlock before tackling the toughest beats.

Beyond the notes, you can dress your drum avatar in a variety of goofy outfits; they don’t affect scoring but add a personal flair, especially in multiplayer. The DS’s single‑cart link lets two players jam together, and if both have copies, each sees the opponent’s chosen costume on their on‑screen character.

The package includes the two themed stylus pens and carries a CERO A rating, the Japanese equivalent of an ESRB Everyone label, making it a family‑friendly rhythm romp.

Storyline

Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Touch de Dokodon! contains no story segments, so it does not have a storyline.
