Well, now the hard part, explain it~

I know that there's already joystick support, but only for osu!mania, it would be nice adding this support to Taiko too, why? I think not only me, a lot of players would feel more confortable playing Taiko with a joystick than with a keyboard/mouse.

My base for this is the Taiko no Tatsujin games for portable consoles, such as NDS and PSP, the games for NDS can be played either with two stylus (or fingers) or the buttons, PSP only buttons obviously, and is fun in that way.

Some examples

PSP Gameplay

NDS Gameplay (only first 3 minutes)

You can always use 3rd party software like joy2key, works perfectly.

Personally, I've never played that way but if it'll bring more playstyles into the community I'm all for it, Support.

On an unrelated note, we need boss fights and more mods but mods has already been discussed, can't seem to find the thread though.

Yep. This is what I was doing when I had a broken little finger and the splint was in the way of using the keyboard (but not in the way with a controller).
