EDIT:

And they are going to start selling this wonderful PSP pouch (roughly $15) ! OOOHHHH

 

[SnakeXs]

Wow, this totally screams me!

Sexy, even if it's not really a value or all that special.

 

[ZeoVGM]

no orange psp, no sale

 

[Gahiggidy]

Too little, too late.

[DCharlie]

pretty weird little bundle - it seems to cost more than its component parts ... ???

well, perhaps if you go on RRP its a bargain, but man.

 

[Jonnyram]

Pouch is nice. Might pick one up.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

A kiddy-nintendish game comes to save PSP in Japan... does the bundle come in white?

Isn't it ironic?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

:lol yes!

- I am so tempted to get a PSP I want this and TALKMAN if it would help me learn some Japanese

 

[sprsk]

how much does this cost

 

[reminder]

Same Bundle as in Europe except you only get this with the white PSP here. It also launches on July 13th here. Price is 249€.

Price for the japanese Bundle is Yen 24,800.

I'm a little saddened by the pouch... I mean, be honest -- it looks like something your 70-year old grandmother might carry around. If it were 1979. :/

Doesn't matter tho, cuz the game rocks. PSP GOTY!

Yeah huh. Imagine carrying that purse and pull out the PSP....in 1979!
The world would probably collapse!

 

[imastalker co.]

i don't understand why sony is pushing this one so hard.

 

[john tv]

Hell, I felt that way in 2004! PSP was from the future!

Little did I know it was a future where DS Lite ruled with an iron fist...

 

[sprsk]

i don't understand why sony is pushing this one so hard.

cause have you played it? any fan of rez should like this game.

 

[Jonnyram]

cause have you played it? any fan of rez should like this game.

what.

 

[imastalker co.]

i checked out the demo. it's fun, and has great style.

but hardly a killer app. i just don't understand the strong push is all. it's nothing special.

 

[Mook1e]

That's a pretty crappy bundle. No remote or headphones and you have to buy the pouch seperate?
Basic pack + Loco-Roco = 24,800
:lol NO
I still can't understand why they have a basic pack with no remote when the remote is required for VOIP games...

 

[john tv]

i checked out the demo. it's fun, and has great style.

but hardly a killer app. i just don't understand the strong push is all. it's nothing special.

Your opinion is factually incorrect!

 

[imastalker co.]

would you buy a PSP for this game?

yeah, some killer app there.

 

[Mook1e]

I wouldn't buy a DS for Nintendogs, but hey.
Edit - OR Brain Training, OR Animal Crossing.

 

[BluWacky]

would you buy a PSP for this game?

Yup. I plan to, just for Loco Roco, and I HATE handheld gaming (despite loving the Game Gear, Lynx and GBC when I was younger, the GBA soiled me for life as I contorted myself into various positions to see the screen to play nothing but ports, plus I get travelsick if I play games on buses/trains).

It just looks plain fun; I don't have to just play "quirky" games all the time (I also wouldn't mind checking out Daxter) but Loco Roco looks far too much fun to pass up.

 

[john tv]

would you buy a PSP for this game?

I bought a second PSP just for the Loco Roco demo...so yeah.

In all seriousness though, I think it's the best game to hit PSP thus far. To me it feels like a first-party Nintendo-crafted game on a Sony platform. Perhaps that's why it sticks out so much amongst most of the dogshit currently out on PSP. Great graphics, awesome music, fun gameplay, perfect controls...what else do you want? And best of all, it's got like zero load times.

If you can't see the greatness that is Loco Roco... YOU ARE PART OF BEBPO'S PROBLEM!

 

[DCharlie]

Price for the japanese Bundle is Yen 26,040.

fixed.
it's the regular stand alone pack , plus a 32 meg card (no strap or cover or headphones)

 

[imastalker co.]

don't get me wrong. im not knocking the game.

just don't understand the strong push sony is giving it. but then again, they don't have much to push on the system themselves anyways. so that's probably why

 

[Kobun Heat]

Loco Roco is getting a worldwide push because it pretty much kicks the shit out of the rest of the PSP's lineup.

 

[Jonnyram]

I'm sad that everyone has forgotten about Lumines in their comparisons

 

[Fishie flop oog]

Doesn't matter tho, cuz the game rocks. GOTY! SO FAR

Fixxed

Born stupid?


Killer app total

 

[wasting]

no orange psp, no sale

an orange psp would be awesome

 

[imastalker co.]

alright guys. i think it's a cool game and all, but there's just no way i'll consider it a $250 game.

sorry, but i don't think anyone, including those who claim they are, are going to buy a PSP for loco roco alone. it's just not happening.

 

[Baker]

How many people in Japan bought a DS just for Brain Training?

 

[imastalker co.]

that beautiful new market of baby boomer gamers that Nintendo created

but what's that have to do with this? are you just trying to point out that people buy systems for one game alone? because uh, no one is arguing that.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Ah, another great 3rd party title for the PSP. This game will sell 500,000 copies in it's first month out.

 

[SnakeXs]

sorry, but i don't think anyone, including those who claim they are, are going to buy a PSP for loco roco alone. it's just not happening.

Well I'm close, I'm rebuying a PSP for it, so nyah.

I'm sure there'd be people out there that'd buy a PSP solely for this game... But what if it had downloadable levels?

Ah, another great 3rd party title for the PSP. This game will sell 500,000 copies in it's first month out.

It's First-Party.

First party

 

[Trurl]

The pouch looks like an old lady's coin purse. I love it!

 

[Lord Error]

Loco Roco is an incredibly good game. Not only that, but it looks very unique and memorable. That's all there is to it, and that's why the marketing push.

I'm sure there'd be people out there that'd buy a PSP solely for this game... But what if it had downloadable levels?

It has level editor, so yes, there will be user created downloadable levels for sure, and devs might create more too.

 

[Mrbob]

I think I want a PSP for Loco Roco.

that beautiful new market of baby boomer gamers that Nintendo created

This is just the beginning of Sony stealing these gamers away. Sony should thank Nintendo. Nintendo gets new gamers into gaming, and Sony takes them away. History repeating.

 

[imastalker co.]

maybe. there's a chance i suppose.

but something tells me Nintendo would fight for the baby boomer gamer as hard as they do for the portable market. Sony also has to get around to making something that appeals to the market.

 

[sugarhigh4242]

Part of me thinks that pouch is absolutely awesome.

Another (much larger) part can't shake how blatently feminine it is.

The pouch is awesome, don't let your ego get in the way. The pouch perfectly matches my style of offensivly flamboyant hawaiian shirts.

 

[Magicpaint]

The pouch looks great, LocoRoco does look like something that'll come out of EAD Nintendo, looks sooooooooo much fun. Can't miss it.

Joke post? :lol

 

[sugarhigh4242]

Loco Roco is one of the first PSP games to really have crossover appeal. If marketed properly, i think it will be a killer app.

Yes, Mono.
