I had the chance of playing one of those in an Arcade recently.

The age of rhythm games using peripherals is over unless you want to buy second hand or pay expensive prices for new ones.

You'll just have to play the regular way via controllers and stuff. DJMAX comes out soon, but Superbeat Xonic is great as well. I'm not a fan of the Vocaloid rhythm games. Too boring.

Why is it over? It's not like those games were ever popular anyway, outside of the PS2 era when Guitar Hero was normiecore.

How expensive exactly are those peripherals anyway?

Sadly your options are pretty limited in the West when it comes to peripheral rhythm games outside of DDR, Guitar/Dj Hero, Rock Band and gimmick games that use peripherals once like Samba de Amigo and DK Jungle Beat
Thankfully the next Taiko Drums game is getting an Asia release that will allow for English menus and have peripheral support, only problem is that you're looking at around $90 as the base price and adding import fees on top of that

YO DUDE WHAT THE FUCK I NEED THIS SHIT

Forcing people to use expensive plastic fake instruments puts hard limits on a game's mechanics.
Plus, in the west, people are completely fucking SICK to their stomach of fake guitar games, you can blame activision for that.
They killed their golden goose by producing 6 SEPARATE guitar hero games in ONE YEAR.

>>384741079
I dunno why they died out but they did. Also the west really isn't into rhythm games as much as the japanese or koreans. When I go to the arcades in Japan or Korea the #1 populated floor, aside from the gambling and fighting floors, is the rhythm one.

Usually a couple hundred depending what you want it for. I assume you'd want to use them on PC?

>>384740502
>How does one enter the world of Rhythm Games with fancy peripherals?
Decide what you want to play and stay dedicated. When you're spending anywhere from $50 to $400 for a controller to play a single game, you better know you're going to enjoy it and make the most of it.

>>384741402
Yes, on the PC. The most modern system I own besides a Laptop is a PSP.

>>384741686
I have no idea how to actually get into it, though. I looked at /vg/ and /jp/ hoping to see something like a Rhythm Games General or something, but couldn't find any.

>>384741158
Looking at videos it doesn't look particularly amazing.

>>384741179
Ultimately they also killed MadCatz, too.

>>384741879
jp has a rhythms games general, but it's mostly for the super autistic games like iidx beatmania and pop'n.
I could never get into games like those, the notecharts hardly have anything to do with the song being played.

Played a donkey Kong one like that in an arcade in austin texas last year. Been searching for an arcade with rhythm games in Chicago ever since.... Can't fuckinggggggg find one. There's a game bar near downtown that has guitar hero but fuck that I wanna smash some drums

>>384742075
>I could never get into games like those, the notecharts hardly have anything to do with the song being played.
That's not true at all.

>>384742854
no, they really don't
the button slamming sounds form percussion for the backing track, but none of them are actually tied to the notes being played in the song itself.

>>384743076
It's cause they use multiple sounds and the voice at the same time, and you obviously couldn't tell unless you were fast enough to do it yourself. Back when I was playing Chunithm Air in Japan and a friend was watching me, she said something similar.

>>384740502
There's a new Taiko no Tatsujin coming out for the PS4. It comes with a USB drum controller. If you want to get into something like this be ready to shell out some cash, it can be pretty expensive.

Other games include bemani (if you can get an invite on sows), osu, DDR and that korean DJ game that I never liked.
If you go down the bemani route you could build the controller by yourself. Taiko controllers are a bit more complicated so unless you're an engineering student or have some electronics training don't bother.
There's also that Donkey Kong drum game on the wii, if you can find the peripheral for it.
I recommend going down the Taiko route. It's objectively the only good rhythm game that ends up teaching you an actual skill if you end up getting really good at it.

My friend already preordered the thing. I was thinking of doing the same but I realized I actually need a PS4 for it. Otherwise I'm gonna be stuck trying to find songs for either osu! or Taiko Jiro to play with the controller, all while looking at a game I can't play.

>>384743076
In IIDX at least all of the notes directly correspond to each sound in a song, and you can hear it your timing is off or you miss a note.

>>384741879
Since you also have a psp, you can get the DJMAX series already. Pretty sweet deal since peripheral ones on consoles/pc are pricey. On a laptop, you could go with the rythem based communities like stepmania/osu/guitar hero clones/etc. They have a lot of variety and even the arcade versions too.

30KB, 960x520px

If you want to get into Taiko specifically, the minicons for the wii/wiiu is pretty cheap but it's not the best quality. You can modify the controllers a bit to improve but it's still not great. There's a really expensive hori controller that is actually good too but idk where you'd even find that since they don't make it anymore.

The wiiu and wii games are pretty easy to pirate if you have a wiiu or wii and you can actually use that controller. iOS game wasn't bad on their touch screen but getting it installed on your western phone would be a pain. DS/3DS/PSP/Vita games are all good but you'll be playing with just buttons on those.

mon sells a little usb converter so you can use that controller on pc: https://mon.im/tatacon/
there aren't really good taiko sims. taikojiro is your best bet on pc.

for other games, I'd recommend looking into SDVX (keyshootmania is the simulator on pc) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptjmjEUESlw
it looks crazy at first but I think it's one of the best rhythm games for new players. it has a really gentle difficulty curve up until the really hard stuff starts.
mon is making a mini controller for that that's pretty awesome and he should be getting another batch of those made soon. there's also more expensive full size controllers that djdao makes.

iidx (lunatic rave 2) is popular but you're not going to find a good controller for cheap and the difficulty curve is steep. pop'n is a favorite of mine that you can also play via lunatic rave 2

>>384746359
You can connect the wiimote to your PC via bluetooth. And I think that'll work with osu! since they have a setting in the menu for those.
Not sure about taiko jiro

>>384746586
osu taiko is pretty bad imo. but finding charts for taikojiro is a pain. I recommend using that usb converter instead of bluetooth so you don't have to deal with a whole wiimote and bluetooth setup

>>384746723
I used to be pretty good at osu taiko so I wouldn't exactly say it's bad, it's just not a good reproduction.

>>384746585
That dongle with the Wii Nunchuk Drum seems to be exactly what I'd want. But are there actual Taiko games to play on the PC? Besides Osu taiko mode.

I wasn't expecting this series to be so PC-unfriendly.

>>384747009
Taiko jiro is the only other alternative, but good luck modifying that since most of the resources are JP only.
That said, I can finally post this.

Sound Voltex tends to be the most accessible one that I see people get into. IIDX is punishing, but I personally think it's the best one and it's definitely the one with the most depth. You'll also find a lot more songs for its sim than SDVX's sim.

Gamo2 is the main maker for controllers, although I hear lots of people say they prefer the Virgoo ones for SDVX.

Do you have a Round 1 nearby? They have all these games so you can try them before you dive into a controller purchase.

You basically stand and have a circular area around you where the notes fly towards you.

The yellow ones you "hit" by swatting or slapping, the green ones you need to squeeze the trigger, and the pink ones you squeeze and hold while following the trail with your hand(s).

It definitely is more fun to play than watch, and the art style is pretty good compared to most VR games.

If you ever wanted to fly through abstract environments with your anime waifu and do wavy-arm dances, this game is for you.
