4 Corner Games have also come out and said that the game will have six modes, more camera angles (1 optimised for the smaller 3DS screen, one closer to the Wii U game) and a few extra secrets for players to discover.
At this stage it’s a bit hard to avoid character and stage information with the game officially out in Japan, but today Sakurai officially reveals another 3DS stage:
He continues:
There are a lot of new elements in the PictoChat 2 stage. In this screenshot, it looks like there is depth to the stage…or like there isn’t. The illusory nature of the drawing is meant to challenge your perspective.
Bandai Namco have announced some new crossover themes that will be appearing in the Taiko series next Wii U outing:
