Patapon CES Trailer

Man, CES isn't for another two weeks and yet here we are with our first trailer for the upcoming rhythm game Patapon. A certain luck Editor got a preview copy that he is even now probably playing on his way to his festive holiday festivities. The design on this one looks great and ties in very nicely with Japan Studios' highly addictive and eternally cheerful Loco Roco. You can definitely tell they are part of the same family yet completely different in their gameplay. Considering how much I loved Loco Roco, this will be a must-have for my PSP.

Loco Roco 2 Trailer


It's not the greatest video given that some saucy knave filmed this off the screen at the Develop Conference, but there's is enough to get really excited about as we once again return to the land of Loco Roco. This trailer for Loco Roco 2 looks just as cute, adorable and infectious as the original game and we are treated to the always uplifting theme song again. Soon, your PSP will once again be filled with the cutest singing blobs this side of ...well, anywhere.

GDC07: Loco Roco, a Jiggly Postmortem and the Most Boring Session Ever

This session is in Japanese, translated on the fly by people "UN-style" into our headphones. So everyone is familiar with Loco Roco, yes? The jelly game for the PSP, allowing you tilt the world around to guide that big blob like a snot on a tissue. Okay? Good. Here's a mini history. More »

Highlights From Harrison's DICE Q&A

If you expected earth shattering announcements at DICE, you might want begin lowering your expectations. Phil Harrion's question and answer session with N'Gai Croal this morning focused more on the Sony Worldwide Studios and third-party development side than on product announcements. Rather than have the short attention span crowd wade through talk of rendering pipelines and open source platform support, I'll wrap up the few product highlights. More »

Reminder: LocoRoco Holiday Level Downloadable Now

Just a quick reminder, as I totally forgot that Sony released the LocoRoco Christmas level on December 11th for the PSP. The free download is (obviously, if you look at the calendar) available now, so get going. I just kicked it off and will see how well gaming Christmas cheer holds up against a six-pack of my AMPM's finest lager. More »

Like Watching Your Fat Friend Run

Los Angeles is disgusting. From the game store/check cashing combo, to Melissa's blas pep, to Batman's creepy laugh, to the Hulk hustling for a tip ( and being denied), this whole segment gives me the jibblies. More »

Loco Roco Deviant Art

Thanks to Sven C. for pointing out the amazing Loco Roco inspired art of Deviant Art member Black Mago. Oh, sure, Eliza's probably sneering right now: "Why are gamers so impressed by rote copying? How can you post this, Florian? Why aren't you supporting real art?" The answer to that question, of course, is that I am an easily amused idiot. Blackmago's Loco Roco Page [Deviant Art]

Ashcraft and I trekked over to Sony Computer Entertainment to pick the brain of Tsutomu Kouno, senior designer of Loco Roco. After some wacky scheduling mix-up hijinks, we were escorted to the Yasuda building and led into our waiting area. We were then quickly booted out. More »

Now that I've got some free time on my hands, I'll be able to put on my comfy PJ's, pour myself a tall glass of red wine, and beat the life out of some Japanese gangster thugs. That's in Yakuza of course. My choice for purchase of the week. Here's what's shipping this Tuesday. More »

PSP Relegated To Insole Pitchman

Oh, PSP, have you no shame? Are things really so bad in Japan that you're forced to take a fourth job? I thought you were selling fairly well in the East, but Kotaku reader Dennis just sent us the following concerned e-mail: More »

Toastyfrog Rebuts Racism, Calls Out Internet For Dickery

Hey, Kotaku readership! Remember earlier this week, when both Brian "Briana" Ashcraft and Florian "I Don't Want To Piss This Man Off" Eckhardt weighed in on whether the (seemingly) dreadlocked, blackfaced Loco Roco bad guys hit a little too close to home on the picaninny front? No? Well, they were both giving their opinions on one particular 1UP blogger's initial reaction to potentially offensive character designs that even I, Mr. Insensitive, thought might stir up some ire.

Loco Roco Creator Gets Sweetly Grilled

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. More »
