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!

<![CDATA[What's On Deck For The PlayStation Store? This!]]>

Sony just shot us a press release, letting us know about Rally Cross and the Genji Days of the Blade costume pack additions to the PlayStation Store. Thanks, guys, but we knew this last Friday! Old news!

But they also threw in a look at the upcoming content for the PS3 and PSP due to hit any time now. The goods:

Upcoming PS3 Content
- Blast Factor multiplayer pack ($2.99)
- Gran Turismo HD Concept trailer

Upcoming PSP Content
- WipeOut emulated PlayStation title ($5.99)
- Jet Moto emulated PlayStation title ($5.99)

Other Upcoming Content
- GOD OF WAR II trailer
- Warner Bros. movie trailers

Okay, cool. Jet Moto we like, but WipeOut? Guys, I don't want to tell you how to run your business, but we've already got WipeOut Pure for the PSP and it rules. How about something a little fresher? Maybe Vib Ribbon with MP3 support? Klonoa? Vagrant Story? We're dyin' over here!
