Masaya Matsuura, creator of PaRappa The Rapper and import-only release Vib-Ribbon, recently sat down with Gamasutra to talk about future projects.

While developer NaNaOn-Sha is hard at work on Tamagotchi games and bringing their casual music game Rhythmica to, well, everything under the sun, Matsuura drops hints about another Vib-Ribbon release, this time for the PlayStation Network.

Rhythmica is a very similar idea to Vib Ribbon — it's about analyzing audio and creating a game from that data, but it uses MP3 audio instead of CDs. We are discussing the possibility of making a downloadable version of Vib Ribbon for Sony. But, I don't know yet - Sony only recently launched their downloadable service in Japan, so maybe we need to wait a while before releasing a title with that kind of appeal.

Um, who do I have to kill, bribe or sleep with to get this on the PlayStation Store? I'd love to play some lo-fi Vib-Ribbon with the tracks I've ripped to my PS3. Make it happen, Sony! Michael McWhertor
