Has anyone here ever tried playing Beatmania iidx or Pop'n Music with the Tatacon controller? The Tatakon DOES have 4 buttons on it after all, i think its possible, i havent tried it =P

You know that and you still think it would work on 7-key and 9-key button games?

If you try using tatakon/beatcon/popncon on regular games, you'll find that the controller is mapped to random buttons. There's a fat chance those controllers are mapped to the same button in a way your play would be pleasant.

well, that totally stomps on my idea o-o

Different number of imputs pretty much trumps all games EXCEPT for DDR, and that's pretty much the only game right now on console that doesn't allow you to customize the button-mapping.

If you map your Pop'n Music with the tatakon, you can use it in Battle Mode (which is 3 buttons in case you didn't know).

How would the 2nd player play, though? Can you use a 2nd controller for battle mode?

no, you cant I don't think, unless there is dualshock battle mode or something silly.

Yeah, I'm convinced at this point that the taiko controller is ONLY good for taiko, but really, what more do you want it to do? It does its job fine, and that's all I really want from it.
