Listen to LocoRoco

PSP News | LocoRoco

Sony has told us it has no plans to bring the LocoRoco soundtrack to our shores anytime soon - sad news for anyone who can't get enough of the cheery little blobs' peppy tunes and nonsensical lyrics. There is a silver lining, however - we've scored four of the game's songs in their entirety and put them online for your listening pleasure. Hit the Movies tab above, and you'll be able to listen to the opening theme (as sung by both the childlike yellow LocoRocos and the folk-rocky green ones), ...

Free downloads for PSP

PSP News from N4G | LocoRoco

Sony is launching a new PSP download service this Friday, offering everyone who can get to a participating store the chance to grab free game demos, music tracks, movie trailers and more.

GAME is just one of the stores participating in the launch, and will be opening the wireless floodgates at its stores in Oxford Street, London and Crown Walk, Milton Keynes.

There's been no mention of a specific promotion at the London store - though we're sure there'll be something on offer - but we do know that the Milton Keynes store are working with Sony to create a LocoRoco Funday and giving away a ceramic white PSP with software.

Civil rights group slams Sony ad

PSP - LocoRoco - Civil rights group slams Sony ad

US civil rights group the NAACP has slammed an advert for the new white PSP which some observers have accused of being racist.

In a statement issued by the San Jose branch of the NAACP, chapter president Rick Callender also appeared to refer to recent allegations that PSP game LocoRoco also has racist overtones, stating: "The days of blacks being portrayed in minstrel shows are long gone, and with good reason. The minstrel show was an awful chapter in history and this ad smacks of that age and time.

"It is even further unacceptable that some corporations still think it is okay to use racially charged media images," Callender continued.

E3 06: Wobbly footage of LocoRoco

PSP News | LocoRoco

No visit to the immense Sony stand in E3's cavernous West Hall, and the accompanying PSP peninsula, would be complete without a quick pause for a spot of LocoRoco. And to bring a big beaming smile to your face and the warm touch of a little sunshine into your day, we've nabbed a bit of footage of the gelatinous platformer in tilting action. And talking of tilting, we wonder if there will be any chance of a PS3 conversion of the game to take advance of the new pad's wobble-detection ability? ...

Loco Roco rolls into view

PSP News | LocoRoco

We've gathered some screenshots for Loco Roco, which Sony has announced will hit PSP this summer. A joyfully simple game, you're responsible for guiding grinning, jelly-like blobs - the Loco Roco - through snowy mountain peaks and moist jungles, while avoiding anything sharp and pokey. Loco Roco uses PSP's shoulder buttons to tilt the levels and roll the blobby characters through the environments. By gobbling fruit scattered around the levels your Loco Roco will balloon in size, but bumping ...

PSP News from N4G | LocoRoco 2

Gerard Campbell writes:

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."

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

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."
