Taiko Drum on 3DS, Get Help from a Dragon

The latest issue of Famitsu magazine has also revealed a first look at a new entry in the Taiko Drum Master series for 3DS.

Entitled Taiko Drum Master: Little Dragon and the Mysterious Orb, the game features a host of brand new tunes to tap along to with the same addictive rhythmic gameplay seen in its older brothers. However a significant change is the inclusion of a nifty adventure mode feature featuring, you've guessed it, a rather adorable little dragon. According to Andriasang, Don-chan and his new companion set out to beat enemies across seven kingdoms.

If adventuring isn't in your musical vocabulary, there will still be the usual host of modes and options available for the pick-up and play Taiko Drum enthusiast.

The game will hit Japanese stores in July 12th.
