Nintendo Switch is going to get a western release of Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'N Fun! The Japanese version of Taiko no Tatsujin is coming on July 19th while the English version is coming to the West on August 9th.
The Bandai Namco rhythm action game, Taiko no Tatsujin, is getting released on July 19th in Japan. It’s unsurprisingly soon. It’s not only Japan though. We will be getting a western release. We are not talking about an actual release by an announcement of one.
The game popped up on the Australian classification board. It is already public knowledge that the game is getting an English language version game which is coming out on August 9th. It will be available via a free patch.
The news was released via Nibel on his official Twitter, "Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘N’ Fun!" for Nintendo Switch has been trademarked on the Australian Classification Board, implying a western release of Taiko Drum Master: Nintendo Switch Version.”

A proper western release would make the whole process better for Bandai Namco. One of the most crucial parts of the games is the drum controllers released over here too.
Taiko no Tatsujin series has been a mainstay of Japanese arcades since 2001, a drum-based rhythm action game that's deliciously upbeat, and it looks like a perfect match for Nintendo's Switch - and not just because the Switch version will feature songs from Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2.
