  • none of the stores in my area (near toronto) have received shipments yet…bah

  • @Chris
    yoChris does this game support remote play feature.‎

  • @4 Chris

    this is a PSP UMD game. not a PS3 game.

  • yeah the demo was kick ass i played it on my friends psp and i think i might get a psp just to get this and loccoroco

  • oops meant at @4 ghamdikh1

  • Picking mine up tomorrow at Gamestop!

    I will be pataponing all Wednesday night.

  • Just picked it up here in San Francisco, and got a BearBrick! Whoo!

    Can’t wait for Pata-Tip-Day!

  • finished

  • Have to wait a few more days to get this game ;(

  • Cute Armies of doom O.o fear them

  • I’m very close to buying this game!

  • I hope this game turns out to be a success for you guys.

  • This game should sell quite a few copies.

    The demo sold me on it BTW.

  • oops thanks NewYork214.

  • honestly can’t wait to pick this up. I hope futureshop gets it in tomorrow.

  • I can’t keep up with fever! Definitely need some tips.

  • its a really great game (from wat ive played in the demo) and im pretty sure this is going to be one of those games that expands the ways developers come up with new titles great game cant waite to buy it!!!

  • this is my goodies.

  • I went to bestbuy today to get this and they didn’t have it :( The guy said that it wasn’t supposed to come out until tomorrow and that they probably wouldn’t get it in until tomorrow night. :( :( I also checked eb games and didn’t see it on the shelf. Was really looking forward to playing this tonight too…

  • This game has been paid in full for weeks :). Even my girl was hooked after playing the demo. Good job guys!

  • Pata-sexiness. The demo is really good :P

    Anyhow. Wheres the PATA-Home that’s coming soon? And will Pata-pon be associated with it? Tell meh :D

  • Much deserved.
    Stuffonmycat=pure gold.

  • Ahhh…so close. I went to buy it today but it had not been shipped to the store. Oh well, at least I have it pre-ordered making it, “good to go.”

    This game is going to be better than Loco Roco. BTW: Thanks for putting together that awesome Q&A that I was a part of, you told me just what I wanted to hear.

  • @DankandSticky

    Maybe because it’s a busy game but make it again and you will be banned :P

  • Like so many others, I wasn’t going to bother with this game, until the demo came out on the store (and I was one of those that pleaded to have one put there, so imagine my surprise last week when you guys actually listened to us!!). Once I played it I was hooked! Even my wife loved it, and she doesn’t play games (although she is excited to get her hands on LBP…). So imagine my disappointment when I headed out to my local Target today, only to be told that they are not getting the game in until tomorrow! Aggghhhh!!!

    But seriously, if you are even remotely interested in finding out what the buzz is all about – download the demo – you’ll get it.

    Thanks to Sony for their continued support of evolving games, and thanks to the Patapon team for following your convictions. I love this game!!

  • Did I get banned from the blog or something?!

  • OOps disregard above post b4 it said i was commenting too fast even though i never commented :(

    1st Ever Post!!

    Hey Pata-Peeps- I’ve been reading all the Pataposts for a bit so now that we are FINALLY launching this bad boy, I really want to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and support for our brave little tribe.

    I truly believe the success of games like Patapon and LocoRoco opens the door to even more new and original experiences that all gamers deserve.

    Its truly been a great ride working on it and with anyluck, maybe we’ll meet again on Patapon 2: The Zigotons Strike Back! :)

    ps- Sorry to the folks who aren’t finding it at their stores today, I’m sure that they will be stocked this week. Call before to save yourself some gas…or sneaker wear…or bus fare. (you get the picture)

    Pata-peace!

  • Im picking this up tomorrow! SCEJ rocks!

  • So when does this come out for the PSN on PS3? Get developing!!!

  • You guys have created one of the best games for the PSP. And it only costs 20 dollars..Talk about a preview of rapture.

  • @Chuck Lacson

    Any info on PSN pre-paid cards? It seems Sony have forgotten all about it..

    • They haven\’t forgotten about it, still in progress as far as I know. Its always the way…good ideas take a while to do right…but the wait is such a headache.

  • @Chuck Lacson

    Thanks for the reply. The MGS PS3 bundle is mighty sexy inside and out. Just a question though, will Sony bundle an official headset with it? Playing online in CoD 4, and Warhawk is great , but it lacks communication. One thing Sony overlooked especially with future AAA titles like Killzone 2, and Resistance 2 coming out this year,

  • Sweet, but I called my local Gamestop and they said its not out till Thursday. I am sad now.

  • I’m looking forward to picking up my rserved copy tomorrow! That reminds me, I need to finish up the demo to obtain the Spear!

    Chris, I’m looking forward to buying another one the games your working on next month- Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds! Lets see more blog posts on this game now that Patapon is released.

  • @chmiranda…….haha maybe :P But seriously I’ve decided to buy it, looks like you guys made a great game!! :)

  • LOVE this game! Pre-ordered it a month ago.

    Wish Patapon Be@rbrick can be purchased, I don’t think I am lucky enough to win one…..

  • @ anyone:
    I havent beaten the demo yet, I’m always needing to restart it, and I was wondering if you use the triangle and circle buttons later on?

    • Yes, you will definitely use all the buttons in the game. Check out PataponPSP.com (specifically the GAMEPLAY section) you\’ll see all the different commands you will get master.

      Good luck finishing the demo and getting the Spear!

  • As far as tips go for this game, can you please tell me, or us the different color Patapons? How do you get them? By the way beat the Demo and paid in full for the pre-order!!

  • All I can say is… WHOO HOO!!! The time is finally here to PATA PWN the Zigs. Good times ahead indeed.

  • I’m not the first and I’ll be not the last: “Please, make a PS3 version” :o)

    Sorry, no PSP (yet)… Priorities, priorities…

  • BTW, is there anyway to download the new trailer onto the PSP? I love the epicness of the intro. Seems so much like Samurai Jack and 300 collided and had little babies.

    Hope I get an official answer to my question/request.

  • I stopped by my GameCrazy tonight to pick up my reserved copy, but alas… no luck. They said they should have it tomorrow. I have to say, I really enjoyed this demo and simply cannot wait to play more of the game.

    Great Job to the whole team!!

  • Would love to be patapon’ing..but the stores in the South are SUPER DUPER slow to get games, I pre-bought the game in full, but they always get games 2-3 days later after the release date, even if you pre-buy them, kinda of sucks, but this is one game I don’t mind, just wish I was playing NOW!!!

  • Nice idea to keep the price low. But next time don’t forget the rest of the World. Here in Europe Patapon costs around 40€, which is about $60.

  • German engineering FTW!
