For the first time, Bandai Namco will be launching a subscription service to allow continual updates for the next Taiko no Tatsujin game. If you opt to pay for the Taiko Music Pass, Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival will boast over 500 songs, which is wild considering most games don’t even breach 100 tracks. For example, the full song list in Rhythm Festival out of the box is 76 tracks. Not bad for the base game, though!
