Well that settles that. I’ve been wondering how Namco expected us to handle playing the little mini drum in the upcoming DS title, and now we know. I figured either the game would play with the one stylus, or perhaps you’d use your fingers.

But inclusion of the 2 drumsticks not only mean the game will be truer to the PS2 (and Japan arcade) versions but also come with some reall cool pack-ins. Of course no such thing as a free lunch so this game will be 1000 more yen than the standard DS game. Hooray for extra stuff!

Be prepared to import, I see little to no chance of this seeing a release in the states, though I hope I’m wrong.
