According to a leak from this weeks Famitsu Sega and Namco will be teaming up to add a playable version of Taiko Drum Master in Yakuza 5!
The article comes in the form of a 10 year retrospective on Taiko including a picture of Yakuza’s producer Nagoshi-san okaying a Taiko arcade machine.
Not the first time each brand has crossed over with Machine Gun Kiss, from Yakuza: Dead Souls, appearing in Taiko no Tatsujin DX for PSP.
Some of the songs included are:
- Mappy Ondo
- Nijiiro Yumeiro Taikoiro
- Shinsekai Yori (need to confirm but I’m pretty sure it’s this song)
This will likely be a minigame available in the in game club Sega’s. It’s awesome to see an arcade reboot since we’ve had the same 3 minigames in Yakuza for the last 3 games!
