I don't own a PS3, but if this were on XBLA, I'd download the demo and try it. It looks neat at least...

The style looks kinda like "Night Game" (http://www.tigsource.com/articles/2007/09/17/night-game-potential-new-project-from-nifflas)

God DAMN it! Why do I find myself wanting a PSP all the time for? Life was so much simpler (and cheaper) when all of Sony's current systems sucked!

Yeah I want to play this bad. That damn music gets in my head. I already got rid of one PSP though. I will probably just wait until a psp2 comes out and get the few games i want and system "on the cheap".

QFT.


Somebody at Sony must have sold his soul to get the company's wheels running again.

What load times? Most games don't have the (over exaggerated) load times anymore as PSP developers are smarter now. Most load times are only around 10 seconds or less.

That is still quite a long time compared to the instant bootup of a DS- not wanting to sound like a massive anti-PSP nintendrone (i was one for years and grew a bit tired of it)- i've been spending a lot recently due to xmas etc and if i went out and bought a PSP now i'd never have the money to do anything else, so i need SOME excuse to say no ;_;

Well, looks like they just made sure that they're getting my $20. For that price, I'm sold.

there is no reason why this can't go on PSN and let me play it without a PSP, except for the fact that $20 is a bit high for a PSN game.

wouldn't care if it was $40, I'd still be buying it day one. LocoRoco was one of the best games I have ever played, and this one looks even better.

Seriously? I own Loco Roco, and it has the most boring, repetitive gameplay ever. I enjoyed it for the visuals and the music, but as far as a gameplay standpoint, it was boring and non-inventive once you made it past the first level. The only exception to that was the final boss fight, which was quite enjoyable, and even managed to fit a surprising little twist. I'm definitely picking up Patapon though, just for the visuals and music, but hopefully the rhythm gameplay is as interesting as it sounds.

Even at $20 dollars, no one is going to buy it? How sad. Screw PSN.

Come on people!!! It's worth buying a PSP for. (PSP games are getting better)

Sony! You should have made Patapon a FPS. because that's the only type of game that gamers are willing to buy nowadays.

Here we go, another Zack & Wiki.

There's no excuse not to buy this game if you own a PSP.
Especially at that price.

@NACHO

No, I'm hoping they're keeping the price low to entice people who are on the fence to try a game they wouldn't normally play.

I've been playing the JPN version. It's sooooo good, but I can't understand Japanese and so, can't customize my little fighters. I can't wait for the US release.

And by the way, if you store the game on your memory card the load times are near-non-existant with a maximum of 2 seconds.

Double that then add 10 bucks and you have the UK price....

But seriously, I have seen the videos, downloaded the screenshots and read the articles. I have no idea whatsoever what's going on - but I still want it. Bad.

Shame it crashed and burned in Japan (just 30k sold in its first three weeks, in a land of 8m+ PSPs).

Wow... I was already sold on this game, but now at $20 it's a must have, and one I'll be telling all of my not-so-savvy friends to buy. It's only twenty bucks!

This and LR are the only things that have ever even tempted me to buy a PSP. And this is a very serious temptation, to be sure.

US Price ≠ European Price

European Price = €45 ($66)
UK Price = £30 ($60)

Just watch me go import this, Sony. You bitches can go to hell.

I already pre-purchased it from Gamestop when they had it up for $20 on the 2nd! Yay that wasn't a typo. :)

First, I loved my PSP. Then, I loved LocoRoco. Now, I love Patapon.

God Bless Japan!
