Patapon is a PSP game combining aspects of rhythm games, Real time tactics and games featuring a god. The game puts you in control of a deity who commands an army of miniature tribal creatures by beating on talking drums. While the game has had great success on the PSP system and has spawned a sequel, it was not always meant to be played on the go.
On the latest episode of the Mobcast, former Sony PR guy Dave Karraker let slip the original plan for the game.
“Patapon Was Originally A PSN Game before it went to PSP”.
Apparently the game was built to command its armies on the PlayStation Network. The game is fun to play on the PlayStation Portable and would be a welcome edition to the PSN Library. What do you think, would you like to see this game release on a PS3 near you?
Definitely. The game was a blast on the go. Would love to see it come to the triple.
I finished both o’ them, and loved both o’ them, so that’d be first day buy for me.
I wonder if it would hurt the psp sales if they make it to where you can play psp games on your ps3
I would DEFINATELY get this for PS3. I had this game when I had my PSP and spent many hours at work playing. Loco Roco REALLY should be ported over to PSN for PS3 owners as well. Not that one that’s been available for ever, but the PSP Loco Roco games.
I want to play that so bad. They need to move it to PSN, ever since I saw it i wanted to play.
I would like to see this as well as a lot of other PSP only titles on the PSN…including GoW Chains of Olympus and the Killzone title…I hate it when PSP gets a title that’s in one of my favorite franchises and I will never get to play it…They’re trying to force me into buying a PSP and that might work for some people but for me I know I never have time for gaming when I’m outside the house and when I’m home I don’t want to play on a portable system.
They should still go through with it. It’s a great PSP game, definitely tailor made for a portable console, which usually translates well for downloadable mini games.
I’d like to try it, and like giese, I have no reason to buy a PSP. Wasnt sinking $600 into my PS3 enough??
Another title they NEED to port over to the PSN with updated graphics: INFECTED
Best Zombie Game Shooter, in my opinion anyway. Zombies + Slipknot + Blood Gun = SICKNESS!
