Taiko no Tatsujin Wii is a rhythm video game developed and published by Namco for the Wii console in 2008, and it was released only in Japan. Like other Taiko games, the player plays the notes of a chosen song's drum part as they are displayed on the screen. The taiko drums can be played using the TataCon, the Wii Remote or the Classic Controller.

The Wii version introduces a "Challenge Mode" that unlocks songs through daily play. The Wii version also includes extra settings that outpaces its Playstation 2 console predecessor, such as drum sensitivity and controller button path setups.

• Up to 2 people can play together using 2-Player or WiFi play. Special items are available in multiplayer mode. Attack items include water ballons, takoyaki, bombs and music jammer. Other items include autoplay and score multipliers. A note is added to this mode which is called the "Secret note". Hit the taiko to hit the note.
• Taiko no Tatsujin Wii features three level of difficulty first. It has four difficulty levels much later. The song and tempo remains the same. However, the number of notes and their variation (the distance between notes, what kind of notes used) differs between the difficulties. Also, there is a general difficulty indicator for each song, represented by stars beside the song's name
• The game comes with a Taiko controller with two plastic drumsticks. The Wiimote is connected to it.
• Like most Wii games, you have to choose a Mii to make a slot but you can only put up to 6 slots.
