Once in a great while a game comes along that truly amazes and goes beyond the expectations of the players. From flow to Locoroco, Ive seen my share of Quirky unique games, But none grabs my imagination and keeps my feet tapping to a continuous beat like Patapon.
For years the patapon tribe has lived in the desolate frontier, driven from their home by the evil zigoton army, Behind the Patamons' rhythm pumping, cute dancing and all around awesome looking exterior, lies a fierce warrior spirit. The Patapons believe the Almighty would return, and that the magical drums would once again ring out, lead the Patapons to victory over the Zigotons and guide the lost tribe back to its homeland (otherwise known as the Earthend).
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Despite its somewhat anaemic lineup of backwards-compatible titles (unusual in light of the genre’s strong pedigree on Sony consoles), Vita’s selection of rhythm games is highly impressive in the modern market with genre favourites like DJMax, Hatsune Miku and Taiko no Tatsujin all present and plenty of quirky oddities like Deemo, Love Live & Persona thrown in for good measure. You’re definitely going to need to try your hand at importing to get the most of the genre here, but that shouldn’t be an issue thanks to region-free hardware and easy-to-grasp gameplay."
It seems that Sony is slowly working on bringing select classic titles from its classic consoles back on PlayStation 4 as remasters.
Who’ll be next?
"Announced at PSX 2016, PaRappa the Rapper Remastered finally has a release date in Japan."
I would've preferred Legend of Dragoon instead. Or better yet just for Sony to make PS1 Classics playable on PS4 just like they did with PS2.
Just remastering this game by itself just seems rather weird.
Yeah it does, they get to make more money. Why release classics when they can slap remaster on it, do a little polish, and sell it for $20 instead of sub $10
It would have been slightly better with Um Jammer Lammy too (I know its not the 20th Anniversary of that but still). Parappa was unlockable and was playable in the entire game again but with lyrics now instead of jamming to the tunes with Lammy. Its essentially another Parappa game then. :)
i honestly genuinely enjoyed the demo.
can't say i thought i would, but i said "what they hey...its free"
man, i'm buyin'
People are just lovin this apparently
Pretty cool it's only $20 new
Sounds good, I'll be buying :).
I've played lots of demos lately on PS3 and PSP and this one beats them all.
Demo won me over.
First day purchase.
