Taiko No Tatsujin Music Pass Not Working on Switch 2? Here’s What You Need to Know (TDC10/TDC17 Compatible Guide)

Since the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, many players have reported that the Taiko no Tatsujin Music Pass is no longer functioning properly on their new console.


If you’re using a TDC10 or TDC17 drum controller and suddenly find that your Music Pass is inactive—or that songs you previously had access to are now locked—don’t worry. You’re not alone, and the fix is actually quite simple.

 

 

 

🧠 Why This Happens

 


With the introduction of Switch 2, Nintendo has implemented new user and console linking requirements for subscription content like the Music Pass.


According to Nintendo’s official support:


❗ The Nintendo Account used to purchase the subscription must be linked as the primary user on the current console to access subscription-based services like the Taiko Music Pass.


So, even if you’re signed into the same Nintendo Account as on your old Switch, your Switch 2 must be designated as your primary console.

 

 

 

✅ How to Fix It

 


Here’s a step-by-step guide to make your Music Pass work again—no matter whether you’re rocking a TDC10 or TDC17:

 

Step 1: Deregister the Old Console

On your old Switch (or online):

 

 

Step 2: Set Your Switch 2 as Primary

On your Switch 2:

 

  • Open Nintendo eShop

  • Log in using the Nintendo Account that purchased the Music Pass

  • The Switch 2 will automatically become the primary console

 


✅ Once set, the Music Pass should reactivate, and all your songs will return as long as your subscription is still active.

 

 

 

🥁 What About My TDC10/TDC17?

 

The good news?

Your TDC10 and TDC17 drum controllers are fully compatible with Switch 2. If your Music Pass wasn’t working, it’s not a drum issue—it’s a Nintendo account setup issue.


Once the Music Pass is working again, you can keep drumming just like before—no firmware updates or configuration changes are needed for the drums.

 

 

📌 Final Tips

 

  • Make sure your drum is in Switch Mode (via the TDC Mate app)

  • For TDC17, ensure the latest firmware (1.6.32 or later) is installed for best performance
