Buried in the latest Japanese Namco Bandai financial report, in a chart showing their sales projections per game for 2008, is the first mention of a Taiko no Tatsujin (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/04/21/taiko-drum-master-ds-39-songs-adventure/) (Taiko Drum Master) game for Wii, planned for late this year. The company released Ennichi no Tatsujin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennichi_no_Tatsujin) (Festival Master), a spinoff minigame collection, as a Wii launch title, but this would be the first for-real Taiko on the Wii. They expect to sell around 500,000 copies, the same as they project for Family Trainer.
We're anxious now for an official reveal, because we want to see how the controls will work. Will it use a drum controller, or will players be asked to air-drum with the Wiimote and Nunchuk? There's also the third, more unlikely, option of hitting a drum with the Wiimote, though that would get expensive.
