Let’s (Not) Tap – NA Let’s Tap Release Lacking Tapping Boxes

 

Sega’s Let’s Tap is Yuji Naka’s latest brain child. Though essentially a collection of minigames, the unique control scheme got some people excited. Players lay their Wiimote on a cardboard box and tap it as the minigames require. The thing is: the North American release didn’t get the box.

Luckily a cereal box can replace the vibrations the “official” cardbox box offered, but it just doesn’t make sense. Both Europe and Japan got their Let’s Tap “peripheral,” but somehow the North American market is either above or below having a chunk of cardboard come with an admitted “gimmick” game.

The copies at Best Buy include a “tapping pad” to place on a table to simulate the box, but this video at Giant Bomb demonstrates how ineffective it is.

Making a game that requires a cardboard box to play is strange in itself, but releasing the game without said box in one region is even stranger.
