Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival now available on the Switch eShop

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival launched for Switch yesterday, and plenty of players have already started banging away on 76 beat-heavy tracks (or 500 for those if you join the subscription service!). What about those who are on the fence about picking the game up? Bandai Namco is offering something special to assuage fears and convince Switch owners the game is worthy of a spot in their library.

Bandai Namco has announced that a free demo for Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is live on the Switch eShop as well. As you might expect, the demo offers just the tiniest sliver of what’s available in the full game, but it should be enough to whet your appetite. Here’s what you get to enjoy if you grab the demo.

• Donderful Everyday song
• Symphony No.5 song
• introduction to the new character Kumo-kyun and more
• introduction to Omika City
• story sample
