Utacchi (うたっち?) is a 2010, Japanese music/rhythm game, developed by Konami and Bemani. Utacchi was set to be released on Nintendo DS in February 25, 2010, and it was mainly one of the spin-offs of the Pop'n Music series. It's motto was "Touch in Utacchi, sing in Utacchi" (タッチでうたっち 歌でうたっち Tacchi de Utacchi, Uta de Utacchi?).
Gameplay
Utacchi have similar gameplay as Pop'n Music; however, Utacchi only have four notes (red, blue, green, and yellow), and they are themed as frogs and droplets. When the notes fall to the bottom, the player have to tap the note with the DS stylus.
- Red note-The player may touch the note easily.
- Yellow note-The player has to flick the stylus on the note.
- Blue note-The player can hold down the note during this.
- Green note-The player has to scratch the note with the stylus.
Each note correspond to a part of the vocals of the song. Each song has two difficulties: Easy and Hard, with the exception of 5-Line mode which has only Hard difficulty.
Story
In the Candy Kingdom, the gluttonous frogs' "touches" are largely breeding.
In this state, the Candy Kingdom is eaten in whole by them, and that the candy and songs are "touches"!
As the bad news is here, the increasingly popular K-SUKE and Nattsun's reach their sources.
