I had a feeling someone would make that video sooner or later.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Zeon Defense Force) @ Mar 16th 2008 6:09PM
I would have preferred later, as in never.

@Fernando
Way to stick to the topic at hand you troll. If Krazy Ken would have posted that nonsense (reversed in a SSBB topic) all of the usual suspects would be coming out of the woodwork to trash him for it. How about you stick to the topic at hand mmmkay.
@Everyone Else
Patapon is an amazing game that can not even be classified into a traditional category. It takes a bit from multiple genres and combines them into a wonderful and affordable package. I will not go as far to say I like it better than GOW Chains Of Olympus but it is equally as fun in a different way. The game is addicting and very challenging. In fact, I recently got a hold of the demo which allows you access to a special weapon not available in the retail version and played through it so I can have a better head start.

This picture is awesome, but fails because "pata pata pata pon" is the march command. This picture should have used the attack command "pon pon pata pon"
Geist @ Mar 16th 2008 5:59PM
But that's the point, they're not attacking, they're merely pushing forward.
Ted @ Mar 16th 2008 7:58PM
Is that how people talk after playing too much Patapon? o.0
I bet I'll be hearing people saying 'Pon Pon Pata Pon' to their dogs in the park.
NACHO @ Mar 16th 2008 5:23PM
How about no?
Patapon ftw, not SSBB :)
Weclock @ Mar 16th 2008 5:40PM
the picture is awesome
