Last December, Sony's Phil Harrison said they'd "bring LocoRoco back in a couple of new ways with some new friends in the future." Then, at the PlayStation Premier event in Tokyo this month, they showed offBuu Buu Cocoreccho! by LocoRoco, a sequel that is "LocoRoco, but it's not ... a peculiar extra chapter." So that takes care of PS3, and we have our suspicions about a mobile version, but what about the most obvious platform of all, the PSP? We had a chance to speak with Loco Roco's director Tsutomu Kouno at the Develop conference and, when asked if there will be a Loco Roco 2 for the PSP, he responded, "Yes, there will. I'm thinking about a sequel for the PSP right now. I got a lot of feedback from players that they bought a PSP just to play Loco Roco so I feel like I have to make a sequel for them.
Though we don't have any fancy video footage of the PSP-bound sequel, there is some footage of the PS3 release from Develop, tucked away after the break. And check back later in the week for our full interview with Kouno-san.
there goes phony, whoring out franchises again!!!!!!!
Seriously, though, the original made this DS owner jealous, and the video of the second looks to do the same. Let's get some more good games like this.
A sequel? Didn't the first one bomb? Well, maybe bomb is too strong a word, but it certainly sold under expectations. Japanese stores had stockpiles of LocoRoco-PSP bundles that they couldn't unload.

Man I used to love that game and with Loco rocos there goes double love for the Ps3 game.
I hope the PSP sequel counts with an improved Loco Editor,I'm telling you Portable level editors are the future.
