Chris Hinojosa-Miranda, Associate Producer at SCEA, summarizes his post on the PlayStation.Blog:
- Patapon PSP demo to launch over both the PlayStation Store for PC (http://store.playstation.com) and PS3 on February 14th, 2008.
- Patapon PSP demo will have the same save-to-final feature as the UMD version.
- Memory Stick Duo needed to transfer the demo to your PSP. Your PSP does not have telepathic powers nor does it learn through osmosis (yet).
- Patapon PSP demo will complete your life and fill you full of hearts and French stuff (you know, like Rolito).
- You know what to do on February 26th.
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. :)
