Along with the Let’s Tap iPhone ports, Sega is releasing a soundtrack to iTunes — in Japan. Odds seem slim that we’ll see this in the US iTunes store, although since you can buy the Pac-Man death sound in iTunes now, anything is possible. I really hope they give me the opportunity to purchase the Let’s Tap theme.
Oddly, Prope didn’t mention this soundtrack anywhere in its announcement of the ports. I only happened to see it because Sega announced it.

Siliconera posted some instructions for assembling the two box peripherals that come packaged with Sega/Prope’s Let’s Tap. It doesn’t look terribly difficult, but there’s something irresistibly ironic about making a game with an interface so simplistic that you don’t even have to touch a controller to play it, and then requiring assembly for some of the components. Or maybe I just think that.
Maybe that’s why it was such a massive bomb: the box assembly method was just way too hardcore for the casual audience for whom the game was intended. Gamers these days just want family fun! If they had wanted to put boxes together, they would have bought Let’s Fold.

As great as our Tiny Review for Utsusu! Made in Wario was — and believe me, it was bloody fantastic — this preview gives you a better idea of how the game plays when you can actually get the downloadable title and the DSi camera to cooperate with your movements.
Unfortunately, this particular video doesn’t really show off how Utsusu! replays your goofy gestures in its title screen, an aspect of the DSiWare game that I really an enjoyed.
YouTube user NintenDaan has also put up two clips for Let’s Tap, which you should watch if you’re at all interested in this Sega game that bombed so hard in Japan, traumatized children who survived the title’s release will grow up to one day create moving films about the losses and tragedies they suffered in its aftermath.

Without even getting into the way the game looks (colorfully simple, childishly adorable, absolutely glorious), I could go on all day about the factors coming together here. There is nothing easier to master than something you already do (like randomly drumming on flat, resonating objects). In that, it’s like Wii Sports: it’s familiar, and so accessible to anyone. But it’s not like Wii Sports, because it’s a game, not an attempt at a direct translation. It’s the next stone in the river.
And it looks like deep fried awesome in the fun department.

Thanks to the Nintendo media conference, Prope’s new game has been revealed as a Wii game (as expected) — and it has a title: Let’s Tap.
Confirmed: penguins can tap. Well, if Let’s Tap is the game that the teaser site is teasing.
