Day 1, Tokyo Games Show notes.

"Patapon 2 (Sony, PlayStation Portable): I loved the first Patapon game and played it heaps until the UMD got munted and now it's unplayable. So, I'm delighted to tell you that Patapon 2 is more of the same bright, cheerful graphics and catchy "pata-pata-pata-pon" rhythm.

Locoroco 2 (Sony, PSP): The bouncing, singing and smiling blob is back. LocoRoco 2 will feature new levels, "fresh, jolly characters", more than 45 in-game movies that enhance the story, new locoroco and new songs. The game's designer, Tsutomu Kouno, told the presentation that he made the original Locoroco because he "wanted to bring surprises to people all over the world and was so happy that children around the world loved the game".

Infamous (Sucker Punch, PlayStation 3): Infamous is something of a departure for developers Sucker Punch, best known for their cartoon series Sly Cooper. Infamous tells the story of an ordinary man who finds he has super powers after an accident in the city he lives in and the city is overrun by chaos and anarchy. He only has an electricity-based power to start with but as the game progresses he will develop more powers. He can also use a cognitive power to see where enemies have been."

PSP - LocoRoco 2 - LocoRoco 2 confirmed for November in Europe

SCEE has confirmed that LocoRoco 2 will be shipping across Europe this November.

The sequel to 2006's PSP hit "uses both music and colour as part of the gameplay" reads the press release.

"The story begins when the happy and harmonious LocoRoco are attacked by the evil Moja army – who want to destroy their beautiful planet with their evil music. Easy to pick up, players use the simple buttons of the PSP to tilt the LocoRoco's planet back and forth, manoeuvring the jelly-like bubbles of fun to collect musical notes and other colourful items. As LocoRoco collect more musical notes, various bonus features will unlock, such as viewing maps."

1UP: LocoRoco 2 Confirmed, Detailed

PSP News from N4G | LocoRoco 2

PSP - LocoRoco 2 - 1UP: LocoRoco 2 Confirmed, Detailed

1UP's Kevin Gifford writes "Nobody can deny the cuter qualities of the LocoRoco. The simplistic yet uniquely addictive PSP game was a breath of fresh air when it was released in 2006 -- easy to come to grips with, fun to look at, and downright charming once you broke out the headphones and learned all the neat little songs the Locos sung for you. Two years on, and the music is still stuck in the heads of thousands worldwide.

Rumors about LocoRoco 2 have been buzzing around for over a year now (former Sony vice president Phil Harrison inadvertently confirmed it when he mentioned how he was playing "LocoRoco's next version" at the 2007 DICE event), but now we've got official confirmation: the Locos are heading back to the PSP, and it's going to be as cute as ever. As before, you use the L, R, and Circle buttons to help the strangely cute LocoRoco across a dangerous planetary landscape, with the merry blobs singing and generally having a good time along the way."

It's time to roll out! New reports have come in for the sequel to that that quirky-cute game, LocoRoco. Although this info hasn't been confirmed by Sony yet, it's still something all us can chew on while you wait for official details.

According to PlayFrance, LocoRoco 2 is due to be out in France (most likely for the rest of Europe as well) on June 6. Whether it's June 6 of this year or next, not entirely sure as the translation is a bit ambiguous.

PSP News | LocoRoco 2

Sony's own Phil Harrison has promised LocoRoco will return, despite the PSP-only blob-'em-up being not quite the DS defeating smash hit the company was hoping for.
