Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! looks like a fun, whimsical rhythm game, and it's great news that it's getting a Western release on PS4. However, a recent press release has made it clear that the game will only release digitally, at least in Europe.
This isn't too much of a problem, but it does mean that many hoping for a physical release alongside the series' trademark drum peripheral will be disappointed. It's possible to import the drum set from Japan and it'll work just fine, but it's a shame that Bandai Namco is skipping a full blown Western launch for PS4.
The game is out on 2nd November on PS4. Will you be picking it up, and if you are, will you be importing the drum peripheral to accompany it? March into the comments below and let us know.

Its been announced apparently the Drum controller will be available in Europe - pretty much a must have for Rhythm Games.
@Napakane Switch only apparently
@Rob_230 @Napakane Yeah, we had it confirmed to us that the PS4 won’t be getting a local release for the drum peripheral. The only way to play the PS4 version with the drum is to import it from Japan.
I was thinking on getting it if we got the drum set but since we are not then I rather get Persona dancing and support Atlus
@Quintumply I wonder how it will be...
@Rob_230 It's not unthinkable that the Switch Drum set will have a usb cable, and might also work on a PS4. But that's just hopeful thinking on my part, of course.
Never played it before. Is the game difficult to play using the DualShock controllers?
Imported last year so nothing new for me. I will get the Switch version instead.
I'll get this digital and import the tatacon.
@Rob_230 Time to "switch" your pre-order.
Dont understand why you would release it in this way. Why not make it a Switch exclusive. Maybe im wrong but i would believe that half the fun is the drum with this kind of game.
Does anybody know if that applies to Australia too? It would be a shame. Would love to play this game with my little nephews, though I guess I can still import it from Japan but still prefer the warranty from my local retail.
