Not only do the drumsticks allow players to experience the game with Motion Controls, they also contain adjustable weights that can give players a workout.
The drumsticks will also come with several purchase bonuses which include a redeemable code for an extra song, “Supernova Girl / “DON DON Fitness” Theme Song”, and a new Drumsticks Controller Style outfit.
A new game mode that will be compatible with the drumsticks, “DON DON Fitness”, will also be made available this Winter for Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival.
DON DON Fitness is different from the traditional Taiko Mode, as notes shoot across the screen to you.
There will be a big Japanese Taiko drum in front of you, and you hit the notes by swinging your Joy-Con when the notes overlap with the 4 targets, with larger swings netting higher scores.
You can even check the estimated calories burnt for a song, and your total calories burned after play.
Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is avaialble now on the Nintendo Switch.
