Yes kids, Patapon is now available at all your fine retail shops, mega-stores and game stores nationwide. You are but a drive (walk, bike, skate) away from drumming up mighty rain clouds and creating unstoppable kawaii-armies of doom (to the Zigotons that is)!
Cold Pata-feet

Pata-Updates
Fear not, ye weary Patapon fighters, we’ll be checking in here on Patapost Friday with game strategy and special tips. So if you have questions on gameplay or are feeling a bit stuck: drop us a note, we’ll see if we answer them then.
Till Friday … same Pata-time, same Pata-channel.
Id love a ps3/psn-version in HD. That would be bliss.
this is the best game that i seen that refreshing i would get this game in a heart beat but i don’t have a psp. Just wanted to say to the developer of the game u are freaking smart i was tired of seeing the same thing over and over.any change it would come out on a diff system likethe ps3 or even the ps2?
I hope this game doesn’t make it’s way to the PS3, the PSP is losing all it’s decent games to the PS2 via ports and possibly now the PS3? What’s the point of having the PSP then, or even making games for it?
I went to go buy this game at Gamestop (the nazis of the gaming industry) only to find out that they “don’t get games on their release date, they prioritize shipping on release dates.” As in, their shipment (at least at 2 of the Gamestops in MN) doesn’t actually SHIP until the game is supposed to be in stores. Anyone else find that ridiculous?
Anywho, went to Target, they had it, en masse. I literally walked in right when they got their box in from UPS. Mmmm. It’s a good one boys. Hold tight, I may be playing it for a while.
Oh, and BTW, much Pata-thanks.
@ C-h-a-o-s:
PSP = playstation PORTABLE
So, I just want to have some PSP-Games at HOME for my PS3 because I don’t have a PSP and I don’t want to buy one only for playing 2 or 3 PSP-Games at HOME.
yay just in time pay day for me is Friday so I’ll be picking this up then . Can’t wait to play something to do on the bus rides from work and back home.
54: Do you really need that explained to you?
@ Doucu
It’s not the issue of portability, it’s taking away from the system and bringing them to others. The PSP isn’t exactly great in the games department, and when excellent games come out they’re now getting ported to the PS2 (Soon PS3 from the looks of it). That’s taking away from a system that needs all the help it can get.
And just because it is a PORTABLE doesn’t mean it’s not good for the HOME.
@ Doucu
Well, if you’re not willing to buy a PSP, I don’t think you should be able to play PSP GAMES.
Though, the ability to download this to the PSP through the PS3 (or PC Store) would be nice. At times, changing the UMD can be a pain. Actually, you could probably go with the recently announced PSP Store. Just something to consider.
@59
It’s a rhetorical question, do you really need that explained to you?
Just in case you do, “a question asked solely to produce an effect or to make an assertion and not to elicit a reply”
Seriously WORTH the $20 bucks, thats 1/3 of a next gen title!!! And its even better than some games that have come out on PS3 or the 360! I’m buying!!!
You guys have nailed it with this game. i hope this starts the upward trend for the psp tha many owners like myslef have been looking for. with GOW,FF7 on the horizon… it is a good time to own a PSP :D
Chaos,
Actually, that was an idiotic question, not a rhetorical one.
i unfortunately cant use the word i’d like to use to describe this game for fear of retaliatory banishment…LOL
but this game is just ***!!!!!!!!!!!!! (hint. starts with G and ends with Y)
sorry just my opinion and no i will not be buying this cheezeball game
i WILL however be buying GOW:COO :)
Any chance that Patapon will be released as a PSP Downloadable? I would love being able to take it along on my memory card. I am picking up my reserve today, but if you release it soon on PSN, I will buy it again =)
Whoo Hoo, Finally the day has arrived!
I’m going to run out during lunchtme and grab my copy.
@ Jeigh:
ok, then a PSP-owner should not be able to remote play PS3 games on their PSP… *sigh*
So what’s wrong with a PS3 version?
Are the PSP-Owners really as jealous as the XBOX-Fanboys??? ;)
Patapon is a great game. It should be available for alle Playstation users
@65
You really are touchy huh, it’s not my fault the original question surpassed your feeble mind.
Not to go further off topic I will say my last remarks for this post of the blog, I will difinitely be picking up this game later today. Twenty dollars is a hell of a deal for what seems to be a great game.
You know what. I shouldn’t of called you feeble minded. I don’t know you, so I am sorry for that.
To Doucu
It’s not fanboyism, you don’t own a PSP so I don’t expect you to understand my point.
You’ll probably get an announcement on Home (and/or XMB) when Sony has something legitimate to announce. And likely not a moment sooner.
So quit asking.
…or at least quit asking in Blog topics that have NOTHING to do with Home or XMB.
@74
Your not posting your concerns in the proper place. This post is for Pata-Pon, so go out and buy it to distract yourself from the other concerns ;)
@ 24
Oh my god! Are you… are you spamming!? I don’t believe this!
@Chris! Or chuck?
I would explode if this game came to PS3! I hope all those requests are getting through.
You guys don’t know what monster you have created. Cute+Deadly= well… deadly!
Come on!… Is there a way to get the new trailer as a PSP MP4 file? I really like the intro.
Just for you! Check the Patapon Game Details Page on PlayStation.com later and you should be able to download all the Pata-Videos there formated for your PSP!
(I liked the intro too, our cinematics team kick butt with that.)
