There are only a handful of games I'm rabidly, giddily, enthusiastically looking forward to on the level of Sony's Loco Roco for the PSP. It's the goddamn cutest thing I've ever seen, and yes, I've been to CuteOverload.com. 1UP's resident male model James Mielke sat down with the man behind Loco Roco Tsutomo Kuono to clue us in as to what inspired the game. And in a very Barbara Walters-esque moment, Kuono let's us know what it is about his game that makes him cry like a little girly girl.

There is a video interview for those of you who don't feel like readin'. It's worth a viewing if just for the fantastic bubbly feel-good music.
