Instead of playing the song with just Don and Katsu as performing characters, donder now has the choice of using other characters from Taiko no Tatsujin series as well as from other franchises as performing characters. Just like the DS and 3DS games, what set it apart from the others is that the detachable Joy-Cons on the Nintendo Switch can be used as a pair of air-bachi stick for an alternative control scheme. So too, an interest in Magic: The Gathering has persisted since William’s youth, and he can frequently be found watching Magic streams on Twitch and reading over the latest set spoilers.The core gameplay of the game is the same as the recent Taiko no Tatsujin games released so far. Now, William enjoys playing Super Mario Maker 2 on the Switch with his daughter and finding time to sneak in the newest From Software game when possible. This interest reached a height with MMORPGs like Asheron’s Call 2, Star Wars Galaxies, and World of Warcraft, on which William spent considerable time up until college.
William’s first console was the NES, but when he was eight, it was The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Game Boy that fully cemented his interest in the format. All the while, William’s passion for games remained. Upon graduating from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, William entered the realm of fine arts administration, assisting curators, artists, and fine art professionals with the realization of contemporary art exhibitions.
