E3 06: Pac-Man World Rally hands-on (Pac-Man Rally)

12/05/2006

It seems to be a rite of passage that every cartoon-y, platform-y game character must eventually star in a kart racing game. This summer, one of the earliest arcade stars - Pac-Man, one of few modern game characters who can remember when Mario was a rookie - gets his turn behind the wheel. He's not alone - there are at least 15 characters in all, including the fire-breathing dragon Fygar from Namco's arcade classic Dig-Dug and a certain roll-headed prince from a more modern hit, Katamari ...

Dec 10, 2007 The creators of the cute and quirky rhythm action game PaRappa the Rapper have joined forces with Majesco to create a Wii game.

The game is slated for a late 2008. Masaya Matsuura has spoken of creating a game "that is conceptually unique and, above all else, fun." "We... believe our game ...

Pocket PaRappa (PaRappa the Rapper)

19/09/2006

Tuesday 19 September 2006 The PSone's PaRappa the Rapper - the game that started the rhythm-action genre party in the West - will be coming to PSP, according to Sony Japan's official software site. Like PSP's recent return concert of Gitaroo-Man, PaRappa will be a port of the original game rather than an all-new title, although there's the possibility of bonus content. However, with PaRappa's original developer now sadly moved on from the adventures of lyrical 2D dogs to Tamagotchi on DS, we'd ...

Patapon producer 'listening to' requests for PS3 version, more sequels (Patapon)

1/05/2009

Joystiq: Patapon 2 is finally coming to the PSP in North America.

(Even still, we manged to spot a few lingering instances of "Engrish.")

PATAPON 2: It's Pata-Pata-Pata-ON (Patapon)

28/02/2009

Chris Hinojosa-Miranda // Associate Producer, SCEA writes:

"It brings me great pleasure to inform you that yesterday marked the anniversary of a very special day in Patapon history…P-DAY.

It was a year ago (plus one day) that millions of spear-wielding, music-loving, monster-fighting, stew-making, desert-crossing, drum-beating Eyeballs invaded homes across America with their hypnotic mind-altering songs. It was on that day that the skies darkened with spears and arrows; it was this day that Zigoton blood saturated the earth. Many Patapon's fell during the great battle for Earthend… and those who survived… well you know how the story ends.

So to honor this great and momentous holiday, this Day of days, we here at SCEA feel that its only fair to officially announce that the tribal drums of war have started to beat once again… the dark hour of dance-battle is upon us…

Patapon 2 is in the horizon! Oh-Yeah!"
