First day at the arcade since quarantine - Caramelldansen【Taiko no Tatsujin 13】

（゜∀゜）ウッーウッーウマウマ（゜∀゜）
Yesterday was the grand re-opening of my local Round1 arcade, I had to show up just to play the greatest song of our time.
Playing on this cabinet hurts because of how hard you need to hit, if only more people played on it so they would bother fixing it.

I absolutely love how this location put Mario Kart right next to Taiko so you can see the Don-Chan from Taiko in the screen lol.

Round1 literally introduced me to Taiko no Tatsujin. Got the Switch game a year or two ago for Christmas, and I’ve been ADDICTED.

[@muhammadfaizal6011]

This game aura is really SOMETHING ELSE

[@Gust3883]

It's good to see activity from one of the best Non-Chinese Taiko player, Congrats on the FC. Also can't help but notice Mario Kart arcade GP in the background. What were you doing while you were gone? Just to know.

[@Kev2o2]

I was doing absolutely nothing

[@Gust3883]

@@Kev2o2 Nice.

[@mru601]

I almost fc’d this song in the arcade which according to my experience it was an achievement but the third time they repeat the part everybody knows I missed a few notes somehow

[@linkx321]

God I can't wait for my local round one to open back up. My bachi are depressed.

[@TDashLIVE]

I was looking for any Taiko no Tatsujin arcade cabinets in America and this was the closest one to me! A bit disappointed it's not one of the newer cabinets but I'm glad the arcade has reopened! I'll have to check it out someday!

[@Kev2o2]

This arcade is closing permanently in early January, so I recommend going before it's too late. It's very spacious and only a few people go, so it's pretty safe. ( notice: twitter.com/_S_E_I_R_O_/status/1332111598970925057?s=20 )

[@erayaktas1832]

I LOVE THIS GAME!

Cool!

You: drumming. Me: THERE IS A MAN PLAYING TAIKO AND THERE IS TAIKO IN MARIO!

[@lunaartemis3252]

I wish I have a cool arcade like this near me >0< I hope you hand a great time in there!! I like this song 😊

[@ChoboUnjeon]

There was a Taiko 13 machine in my local arcade but they replaced it with the new version.

[@xbrry]

that is a very clean drum

[@paolacibej1]

Heh funny story, so I was playing yawaraka tank (or soft tank in eng) and so I was playing but I correctly hit the notes but not in the game I was confused and then I noticed some people have been smashing the drum because I couldn’t even get a decent role on the thing

[@paolacibej1]

That’s why I prefer katsu well one of the reasons

[@Gmi40]

The only arcades that are nearby for me is a chucky cheeses and has about 6 worthwhile games

[@R8Spike]

Why can't they have cute drum game?

[@user-Wqir29482]

nice

[@yourlocalloser4244]

I'm hoping to find a taiko machine in the Round 1 arcade I used to go to. Especially after not going since last September I can't wait to go back to that arcade

[@Oldsul]

Woah there’s a round 1 in my mall but we don’t have a Taiko machine, didn’t know it was a chain. Super cool.

[@MichaelKoopa]

yes

[@jellybrown]

Your guys round one is open already, lucky

[@mru601]

At the time of writing this arcades aren’t open yet which makes me sad I wanna go see that drum boi again

[@Hkefp]

In my country dosent have taiko no tatsujin 😢

[@zadomaruhiro3386]

Bandai Namco needs to care about our arcade community as well. I would die to see these at my local archive.

[@billus8010]

pure sweden momento

[@porkheangheng9199]

I swear AC13 arcade bachi is so heavy that I have to make my own bachi which is unpoggers

[@user-fu2ug6oj6k]

POGCHAMP ngl this reminds me of the PSP taiko (The arcade near me is still closed with a spanish taiko which kickstarted my hyperfixation of taiko, its a locally owned one but still a hour away lol) Edit: ITS OPENING BACK UP SOON YESSSSSS

[@mario_mario1889]

Nice intro

[@supercoolcatpat]

Oh shit, they're open!?! Gonna have to head down soon!

[@Kev2o2]

Are you a New England Taiko player? There's not many of us. 😅 They're open at the same hours as usual, 2p sides are marked with a note but still accessible I think

[@supercoolcatpat]

@@Kev2o2 I am indeed! Before quarantine I used to go there all the time for taiko and several of their other rhythm games. Very glad to hear it's up and running again!

[@Kev2o2]

@@supercoolcatpat That's awesome, I only know 3 other people maximum that genuinely play, with you that's now 4! Do you have discord by any chance, there's a server for arcade rhythm games in our region, it's really active and might be useful to you.

[@supercoolcatpat]

@@Kev2o2 I do! It's genericbrotagonist#8699. Very glad to find some like minded people. Although I am admittedly not nearly as good as you 😂😅

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

i didnt realize round 1 has this

[@keirangriffiths4265]

Wtf that's good😅

[@bf90rono]

I growed up with arcades and do so miss them....but here in Sweden it´s practically banned since arcade centers is taxed VERY HEAVILY, so no one can afford having an arcade as a business! The only existing one is in Gothenburg - Liseberg. very very old machines and some claw games!

[@Kev2o2]

I didn't know about that, thank you for sharing!

[@mintyclover]

Nice gameplay!!! And man ur lucky. My Round 1 doesn't have Tako no Tatsujin. I've been thinkin about seeing if I can suggest it somehow..

[@Kev2o2]

This R1 arcade in Taunton closed down in January, so Im not so lucky anymore lol. This Taiko cab was sent to Cumberland Mall in Atlanta, Georgia. Now it sits there in a much nicer Round 1 location.

[@Hana-br3oe]

Round1 in Seattle also has a Taiko game, but the only game they have is 14. Same with Gameworks, but they only have 9. Plus, Taiko 9's drums in Gameworks doesn't respond very well.

[@GabrielGarcia-sw8eu]

Did you know that I have around the one arcade near me in my local mall well not really two local

I wish they had these in Ireland 😔

how did it get fucked? did someone rage and break it?

@@andry6702 I hope not I would be pretty pissed if it were true

[@visalsngg]

how is that drum so sensitive ive played on like 3 different taiko 12-14 cabinets and they all suck i gotta hit harder than usual and they still dont register anyway :/ maybe its because im using the house bachi instead of custom ones? sooo annoying

[@Kev2o2]

It's not sensitive at all. Playing on it would often end with sore hands. All old taiko cabinets are like this, and they're poorly maintained, only making it worse.

[@rylalta]

Where was this located? i REALLY want to play a arcade version

How to find extreme mode on this version?

[@Kev2o2]

In difficultly select, go to the far right, continue hitting right until you've unlocked Oni. It takes right 10 hits to unlock.
