Hey giz. I want to get a portable Taiko game for christmas. But, I dunno which I wanna get because I have both PSP and DS.

So, I made this poll to know what are your suggestions. Which game do you prefer? PSP or DS?

Votes will be closed at November 30th.

PSP... better interface and many more songs.

ds. closer to the real thing

PSP, song list is much larger, much easier to see & play also IMO.

The drumming on the DS is novel, but not something I can use very often as you really need to be sitting down, so it rules out any use of public transport where you might have to stand etc and you need to carry the extra sticks with you.

thats my point, the taiko on the ds is more like taiko than the psp version. I mean, come on, taiko is a style of drum, not a bunch of buttons and triggers.

Portable means you can play wherever without much trouble. Using the touchscreen while on a bus or any moving transportation is quite hard to play. PSP versions are much more worth it simply because of the sheer number of songs and actual Mini-Games.

DS version has only a few new songs that make it worthwhile.

Songs that usually resurface in arcades like Saitama2000 and Mekadesu are worthwhile songs and they are in the PSP's songlist. Plus, you can download new songs for the PSP.

Worthwhile songs in PSP (1 and 2)

All 2000 series songs (no Soroban2000 and Tenjiku2000 in PSP for now)
Swan Lake ~still a duckling~ (Download song)
Scroll Mika
Bouken Hiyori (Download song)
POP STAR (PSP-only J-POP song)

If I were to list them, I don't think I can finish because there's too many and I usually play TnT PSP for more than 3 hours per round.

I have both DS and PSP and I always find myself enjoy playing TnT PSP more (even more than my TnT PS2, arcade excluded, however)

This is like getting outraged over people playing Stepmania on a keyboard

The PSP version is substantially better

PSP for better interface and downloadable songs.
DS for touch compatability though its not perfect due to lack of multitouch and hard to play unless you have the DS on a hard surface.

I kind of see your point, but then again, stepmania isnt exactly that portable. and for that matter, ddr isnt exactly my idea of dancing. dont get me wrong, i like it and play it, but if i want to dance, then i...well, uh, dance for real.

*MechaGai* · 10-03-2007, 08:01 AM

Well, then, if you want to hit on a taiko, then don't play Taiko no Tatsujin, but play on, you know, a real taiko.

See the logic in that?

Seriously, this game is fun no matter what the format. The DS version is fine, but the lack of a few features as outweigh the new features that ARE there. PSP versions are perfectly balanced, minus actual drums, but that's fine.

cloopmo · 10-04-2007, 12:05 AM

agreed. and for the record, i do have a real taiko that i play.....just not very good, lol. I guess I can also make that comparison with ddr, i'm pretty good at the game, but otherwise, forget about it XD

aiaidevil · 10-05-2007, 06:36 AM

I mentally made my list for christmas right now. (Can be changed at anytime, anyway, we are just at october!, lol 1 year of being a member and only 30 posts)

1. iPod Touch
2. Taiko no Tatsujin 5 on PS2
3. Taiko no Tatsujin Portable 2
4. Taiko no Tatsujin DS

The first in the list is the present with the highest prority. So, I put the PSP version over the DS version. Thanks guys.

Anyway, I think the PSP version looks better. But my friend said "But I prefer the DS version because it'S closer to the real thing". Anyway, he has a DS, he can play Taiko already.

I like the DS version because of the actual drumming but I'll agree that the PSP version is better. *nods* And the minigames are quite amusing too. >w<;; There's a serious lack of songs in the DS one. I hope they come out with TnT 2 for both and add mroe songs. DX

If BandaiNamco would ever be so generous to give us a 180+ mb file (the current one is about 30+ mb), I'm sure it'll fit at lot more songs. They need to be more generous like Ouendan.

Seriously, arcade favorites like Saitama2000 can make its appearance here and everyone will like it.
