NCS Game Synopsis
Update: December 16, 2008
«©NCSX» Ever sit at your desk and drum your fingers on the tabletop with a carefree staccato to break the tedium that is your life? If so, you've already had ample practice in mastering Sega's Let's Tap which is being touted as the first game that doesn't require direct handling of a controller. The basic gist is this: You're supposed to lay the Wii Remote face down on a cardboard box, a plastic slab, or anything else that will undulate when your fingers drum its surface. By tapping steadily, the Wii Remote will pick up the vibrations and register the "hits" as in-game movements for runners, fireworks, colors, water, and other objects in the Let's Tap universe.
One of the best examples of the tapping functionality of the tap games is Tap Runner where rhythmically thumping a surface makes an onscreen runner move. By thumping the surface with a harder thwack, the runner jumps over obstacles. Another tapping mini-game dubbed Bubble Voyager features horizontal shooting action where a red mech shoots thick missiles at objects on screen. Tapping keeps the mech aloft and fires off ordnance. Every copy of the game is bundled with two cardboard boxes which may be used as playing surfaces. Two boxes are included since Let's Tap can be played by two players at once. Sega is thoughtful like that.
Region Lock-out
Please note Japanese Wii games will not boot on
USA or European Wii consoles due to the inherent region-lockout on Japanese Wii game discs. A Freeloader (and a Wii with 3.2U firmware) is required to play Japanese Wii games.
NCS Game Notes
» Let's Tap features five main game modes as follows:
1) Tap Runner - Sort of like an updated version of Track 'n Field where tapping replaces button mashing. Non-descript athletes run, jump, slide, swing, and soar across simple tracks that are dotted with obstacles.
2) Rhythm Tap - A rhythm-action game that is evocative of Taiko no Tatusjin from Namco. Circular cues enter the screen from the right and scroll towards the left and your job is to tap when the cues enter the circular target. Wavy-line cues require quick tapping to register proper hits. Stringing together sequential taps leads to combo metering.
3) Silent Blocks - Tap slowly and rhythmically to remove thin slabs from a tower that's made up of thin slabs. The challenge is to take out each slab without causing the entire shaky tower to collapse.
4) Bubble Voyager - Side scrolling shooter where players tap to keep a mech aloft to collect stars and fire missiles at spiky bombs, UFOs, and other objects on screen. Destroy the blinking bombs to cause chain reaction explosions. Each level ends with a landing sequence. The Battlefield option allows four players to battle each other in a tapping-shooting game.
5) Visualizer - Tap to create visual effects on a number of different surfaces or objects including a koi pond, a mass of movable spheres, fireworks, and a digital easel.
