LET'S TAP BOX ART AND PARTY TRAILER CLICK HERE

NOT THAT WE'RE EXCITED OR ANYTHING. (MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK.)

Look, Let's Tap is ridiculous. We know this. But it's the kind of ridiculous so extreme, I can't help being excited about it--especially because, honestly, the game is kind of fun. Playing games with a cardboard box is either the stupidest idea ever, or the smartest idea ever, or perhaps both.

Here's a new trailer.
  


Here's the box art.

No Caption Provided

As of press time, Sega still has not responded to inquiries about the inclusion of a special box controller within the shipping box.

I've always wanted a game were I can tap a box repeatedly, not get bored and finally realise in the end what the hell I was playing.

I'm just hoping that we are going to get different coloured boxes, I wish the box art for this said "FREE BOX INCLUDED!" on the front.

yeah i've played the japanese version of this game and its actually pretty fun believe it or not, the one player game where you are flying around in this mech looking thing "bubble voyager" is pretty great. the music game that is in it is really fun with 4 players just wish there was more songs though.
I was dissapointed that it took about 15 or 16 comments before i saw someone say "MILF." come on giantbomb "Step ya game up!"

OH and Let's Tap endurance run featuring all of the guys. hahahah

Why? It looks like it's going to be extremely entertaining, and it's gotten a whole lot of positive press.

Of course, if you're one of those strange individuals that cannot bring themselves to have fun if they can't do it in a manly fashion, then this probably isn't for you.

The rest of us will be playing a video game via vibrations we make by tapping our hands on a surface.

Hey, it's "the perfect party game for everyone!"  Just what the Wii needs...yeah I know, it's an overused criticism of the console, but still, you can clearly see they know where the money is.

Duuudes! You all need to try this out!
Ok, the commercial SUCK BIG TIME, it doesn't show you the whole picture.. it only shows morons, being morons.

But hear me out. It's really fun. AND YES THEY ARE SARCASTIC. They made this thing pretty ridiculous, but it's still awesome.
The main theme is " Let's, let's, let's tap, Future taping game", the irony in that is just brilliant.

StarFoxA  the vibrations resonate in the box, the wiimote's sensors are really sensitive. The game is programmed so that it reacts to the smallest changes, so shaking/waggling the mote wouldn't do anything.

And yes, you can use any kind of box or.. THING to tap on/bash on that has some resonance.

On the other hand, a serious comment about the gameplay. There isn't so much of it actually. A couple of modes and songs and that's it. Maybe not worth full price, but the 2-3 hours of awesomeness you will get with 3 of your friends? PRICELESS!

"No complicated controls"

thank god, I always had trouble with the wii's confusing pointer controls. Now I can just tap an empty box like a moron!

Fun for the whole family! Who needs complicated controls when you can just tap on a box. I mean joysticks are (vaguely) just like a box anyway. Whoever invented this idea should get a Nobel Peace Prize in the category of jackasses who want to make a quick buck. Oops, my mistake, that is not an actual category. Ironic, huh.

By the way, what's so 'comically mischievous' about tapping on a box? Thanks FCC's ugly step sister, the esrb.

I have to find out more before I purchase this.  I do want it so, but some of those games (like the rhythm one) look like they only work with multiple players.

I remembered the first mention of this on the bombcast. It was ridiculous then it's even more ridiculous now actually seeing the peripheral. I thought at least it was some kind of box where you insert the Wii remote but the picture tells me you only put it on the box!!

The music was somewhat Jet Grind-like, which I love.
