Here are the scans from the latest issue of Famitsu showing Patapon 2. Patapon 2 is expected to be released in Japan this winter.
In the past, these games wouldn't have received a second lease of life. While it's sometimes easy to roll an eye and dismiss remasters as double-dipping, in the cases of the games that time (almost) forget, there's an undeniable joy in seeing a new audience discover them for the first time.
It's been well documented how gaming has struggled to hold onto its past, in terms of older games becoming inaccessible due to hardware moving on, in ways that film and music have never quite had to. With remasters like these, the hope is that foundations are being laid for these sort of cult curios to exist for a long while yet.
"Through a series of opinion articles on biweekly basis, I (Joaquim), Gil and Carla will present and share our experience with several Nipponese game series that have been marked over the years, whether they are, all It depends exclusively on the experiences we had with them and their origin.

Hardcore Gamer: If you haven’t checked out the PSP yet, you’re missing out on some great portable gaming.
I would just pay the difference and get a Vita. That + 1 month of plus = a far better deal than a PSP in this day and age.
Well, you could always put CFW on it.. then download emulators and have a portable arcade machine.
I love the art style of this game, heres hoping that the second one hits early 09 in US/Europe
This is awesome I loved the first and I know I will love this too.
Also I wonder if there will be any co-op. I could see co-op working really well.
finished the first one 3 times and i definitely want more!! hoping for extended customization.
loved the first patapon (although i still need to finish it).
more crazy, different, take-a-chance games of this type are needed across all platforms.
is anybody else exited about this? Patapon was easily the best game for the PSP in my opinion.
it was only 20 dollars too, what a bargin!
