Today's cuddliest video: LocoRoco Cocoreccho trailer
Sony's PS3 LocoRoco Cocoreccho! "interactive screensaver" um, thing will launch next week in many parts of the world. But the Sixaxis might not let us pet the little creatures. Cocoreccho! isn't quite a game, and we're still not quite sure what it is. But this newest trailer at least annotates some of things players can do, while the earlier video left us guessing.
Watch the cuteness after the break, or imagine it on a crisp HDTV with the direct HD feed.

blooh @ Sep 15th 2007 12:16AM
it's a psp game
i haven't played it either, looks fun though. too bad psps are expensive
sicsided @ Sep 15th 2007 12:19AM
psp is $160, only 30 dollars more than the DS.
Great game. I play it on the demo psp at my work on breaks.
LAZoftheTamarinds @ Sep 15th 2007 12:18AM
It is a fun game! It's really creative and has much to offer. The only let down for me in the game was the cutesy music. It drove me crazy!
Word of the street. @ Sep 15th 2007 1:00AM
You should play Loco Roco,Is awesome.
I wish it was harder and a bit longer.
blooh @ Sep 15th 2007 1:21AM
ds is too pricey for me too
Kazi @ Sep 15th 2007 11:18AM
So Blooh, enjoying those LED Wiimote football games? Those aren't over your price range are they?
blooh @ Sep 15th 2007 12:16PM
actually i dont have a wii either, there aren't any games for it that i want
sheppy2.0 @ Sep 15th 2007 12:56PM
Oooooooo, over the head... goes the joke.
Can't afford the laugh, he's too damn broke.
CaptCrunch06 @ Sep 15th 2007 12:28AM
loco roco is a really fun and addicting psp game, and the controls are easy to get into, geared toward casual players.

Ahh Bullet Hell! I don't care if they're not bullets there's too much stuff going on and I can't keep track of all their locations.
Colin @ Sep 15th 2007 12:54AM
PSP is expensive?! You're joking right?
Loco is great and I'm looking forward to a full game to come to the PS3 next year...which I can remote play on my expensive PSP.
Word of the street. @ Sep 15th 2007 1:07AM
I'm tempted by the evil of the PS3,No think on Halo 3...Think on Halo 3....Oh screw it,I need this.
Personally I think Loco Roco could make an Excellent Ps3 System seller(I'm not talking about the screensaver) if Sony colaborates with Loco Roco Team to create a 3D Loco Roco game for the PS3.
I'm thinking in something between Mario Galaxy and Little Big Planet,yeah that would be great.
izzyb412 @ Sep 15th 2007 1:20AM
I think De Blob is the closest that you're gonna get to that, but it's only coming to the wii and ds.
Word of the street. @ Sep 15th 2007 1:49AM
It looks like Loco Roco but not quite but I have to get it first,I might rent it for the DS.
Ska Oreo @ Sep 15th 2007 11:17AM
Really Loco Roco? I mean I know it's a good game. But a system seller? Hardly.
Word of the street. @ Sep 15th 2007 11:37AM
Not in it's current state but Imagine Loco Roco like a 3D platformer a la mario galaxy using the sixaxis with the PS3 grpahics.
Loco Roco is a unique game which is great for sony since most of their stuff feel somehow generic,like Daxter or Ratchet and Clank both awesome games but they don't feel unique like Super Mario,in fact Jak and Daxter or Ratchet and clank are hardly system sellers as well.
I beleive Loco Roco could be a Heavy hitter if it had the chance.
Word of the street. @ Sep 15th 2007 1:11AM
BTW That ATHF clip is more related to Manhunt 2 actually because that's how Manhunt 2 got the "M" rating and why rainbows appear everytime you kill someone.
Actually from now on we must use that clip everytime someone mentions manhunt 2
waynski1457 @ Sep 15th 2007 1:34AM
well at least its guaranteed not to offend the black peopl-er i mean the minorities.
Word of the street. @ Sep 15th 2007 1:51AM
Yeah you keep thinking that...

LOL.
blooh @ Sep 15th 2007 2:01AM
lolllllllll
man there are too many retarded fuckheads irl
upz @ Sep 15th 2007 2:52AM
Waynski's avatar makes me want to kill myself.
waynski1457 @ Sep 15th 2007 4:14AM
omg WOTS, thats just classic! i had no idea that some people actually thought that locoroco was racist! lmao!
and upz, its from the twilight zone! its supposed to be animated (look me up on gametrailers to see it), but it wont play here so it just shows the first frame.
Justice @ Sep 15th 2007 8:43PM
I agree that Locro Roco might have some racist undertone in them. I mean they do have the round big red lips and big white googly eyes. Reminds me of some characters of black people being decipted in anime:
1. Mr Popo from DBZ
2. Jynx from Pokemon
3. The black guy from the R.R army in dragonball.
Trust me they know. Not the first time you know. Not racist but then again, it happened before, so I'm guessing it can have a racist undertone.
Mr Khan @ Sep 15th 2007 10:13PM
I think you're reading into that too much. Mr Popo couldn't possibly be human, Jynx isn't human at all, and Commander Black was only racist in that name, (although all RR officers had color names)
Justice @ Sep 16th 2007 4:24PM
Khan- Doesn't matter if they are humans or not. LocoRoco's aren't human but it looked so much like Blackface that Alejandro Quan-Madrid decided to write the article. Popo, Jynx follow the same image. Human or not, looks like Blackface. Probally not intended, it's not a big deal to me, but the image surfaced many before.
KillerAJD @ Sep 15th 2007 2:17AM
Gah! Do we move the world, or the damn butterfly?!?! I have yet to get a definite answer. Either way, if it's under $5 US, I'm getting it. I absolutely loved Locoroco on PSP, and this one should be fun as well.
Kazi @ Sep 15th 2007 11:26AM
Move the world with the sixaxis move the butterfly with the analog. Just a guess
Word of the street. @ Sep 15th 2007 11:40AM
WRONG!!!
The butterfly is only a guide,it shows you the way out.
Kazi @ Sep 15th 2007 3:35PM
Oh hoh! I was way off, even though it was just a guess I feel my spirit crushing.
phattie @ Sep 15th 2007 12:25PM
I'd buy that for a dollar.
Noshino @ Sep 15th 2007 2:33PM
haha, $ 1 is what you spend for one of those McDonalds meals...this is much more worth that =)
blooh @ Sep 15th 2007 2:40PM
noshine, watch robocop
hvnlysoldr (NDF ) @ Sep 15th 2007 11:08PM
The funny part of the quote is that it was supposed to go into a game like Smash TV.
Supino @ Sep 15th 2007 2:21PM
"in this Interactive screensaver" it says. my god, that doesn't sound fun.
They had a winner on PSP - and then they go "HEY! lets make it an interactive screensaver for PSN!!".
don't look at me - I have no idea why.
octoberasian @ Sep 15th 2007 2:23PM
The game looks creatively well done and really artistic.
I was smiling the whole time while watching the video.
Noshino @ Sep 15th 2007 2:37PM
well, just like its mentioned on the article above by Joystiq, they don't know what the hell it is...
...so this ""in this Interactive screensaver" it says. my god, that doesn't sound fun.
They had a winner on PSP - and then they go "HEY! lets make it an interactive screensaver for PSN!!""
no one knows...not even you would know, I don't think you do, or do you? =)
Kazi @ Sep 15th 2007 3:04PM
I don't quite understand the whole interactive screen saver thing either. If it's for when the console is idle, well then that's just stupid. But if it's for load screens then that's awesome. Other wise why would you ever play this "game" when it's supposed to go off WHEN YOU'RE NOT PLAYING ON YOUR CONSOLE.
Kattleox @ Sep 16th 2007 12:42AM
Kazi, Kazi, Kazi...
Most people have come to assume that that the LocoRoco play about when you don't touch the game (much like flOw).
Even if it did though, I would still rather this boot up that have F@H pop up every 20 minutes trying to "cure cancer". The audacity of it all...
blooh (CDF - Ass Ring) @ Sep 16th 2007 1:05AM
why can't you fold in the background while also playing this game? i thought the cell was supposed to be able to multitask or something
frozengod @ Sep 17th 2007 8:07AM
Perhaps this time we can get the killer app.
Wonder also if we will have any kind of Screensaver Reviewer's Guide comming next.
russ99 @ Sep 20th 2007 12:52PM
While the use of blackface characterizations is never acceptable, I don't think that Loco Roco has any racial overtones at all.
Loco Rocos come in all colors, including yellow, green, red, pink and black, so if anything, Loco Roco is a multicultural video game!
