Taiko no Tatsujin: Nintendo Switch Version!
Nintendo™ Switch – JAPAN
A major update is coming to Taiko no Tatsujin: Nintendo Switch Version! on May 16th in Japan for free, Bandai Namco Entertainment announced. This upcoming update will introduce a new mode called, Don Katsu Fight.
Don Katsu Fight is a special 1v1 versus mode where the goal is to attack your opponent by striking perfect notes to pull down their HP to zero. Once your opponent’s HP depletes, it’s K.O!
Plus, this new mode is compatible with every single piece of music in the game, as well as all the DLC songs. However, this only applies to local play only, which means this mode has no online functionality.
Nevertheless, you can enjoy playing Don Katsu Fight alone or with your favorite buddy!

In fact, it is the theme song of the Don Katsu Fight mode. So, if you want to play this song in the new mode, you better grab it while it’s free! The regular price of Gold Armor is 150 yen + 8% sales tax.
As of the moment, the mode has not been announced for the English version of the game yet.
