OMG Loco Roco for the PSP is the BEST damn handheld game ever! No other game ever is anything like it as it is so original in gameplay and graphics.

This game would make Hitler smile!

It is the cutest, more beautiful, fun game I have played in years. This game is what the Nintendo fanboys love to scream Nintendo is only capable of making.

The actual game is much better than the demo as the demo level was sorta a mix up of multiple levels but all given the same look. In the actual game there are ice levels, rivers, trees and I am only on world 2!

The game doesn't feel repetitive even though it has simple missions and controls. The PSP hardware is absolutely perfect for this type of game with its wide screen and smooth graphics.

Damn, it has been a goooood month for the PSP with Ghosts and Goblins and now Loco Roco.
So far Loco Roco is better than anything I have for my DS (I'm not saying it is better overall because of that though).

If I didn't have a PSP already I would buy it just for this game (it is pretty cheap also).

If you own a PSP get this game.

It's funny how much SWG makes fun of Nintendo games, but goes nuts when he finally finds a game that is Nintendo like...

Funny how I don't actually make fun of all Nintendo games which is probibly why I have 10x more than you do.

Funny how you can't stand the fact that there is a wicked game for something other Nintendo so your only method to relpy is to somehow make the game look bad by:

1) trying to insult me
2) Imply that it is "Nintendo like" when it draws no influence from anything made by anyone else ever.

Nice try though

Actually, I take that back. It wasn't a nice try, it was actually quite predictable and lame.

Is Loco Roco the one with the blob you have to move around?

Ya, I am pretty sure you won't like it but most people will find it amazing.

I saw a very positive review of it on X-Play, and I loved Mercury.

North American PS3 launch will eclipse Xbox 360's, says SCEA // GamesIndustry.biz

SCEI president Ken Kutaragi yesterday announced that the US will be allocated 400,000 PS3 units for day one of launch.

Speaking to IGN, Sony spokesperson Dave Karraker said, "The North American number is just below what we had available at launch for PS2 and is higher than what Microsoft had for Xbox 360.

"More importantly, in my mind, is that we will have 1 to 1.2 million units available by December 31 in North America," he continued.

"This is more than double what Xbox 360 sold through during the same period (TRST data) and should assure there aren't significant stock dips at retail."

However, Microsoft did manage to pull off a global launch - and sold around 500,000 Xbox 360 units in Europe during the same period.

According to NPD figures, more than 320,000 Xbox 360 units were sold in North America within two weeks of launch - and hardware shortages followed across the region.

Since we were wondering yesterday...

Well give it a shot then if you appreciate good art direction and fun without knuckle grinding action. You should be able to find it new for $35.

Anybody that is interested in Loco Roco, but doesn't have a PSP should try Gish:

GISH

It's a few years old, but looks to offer many of the same game concepts. Loco looks to be much more stylized though.

Nintendo unleashed a secret tonight...

IBM has been shipping Wii's CPU to Nintendo since July.

Bad timing for Sony.

How do you know Sony's not getting their CPUs yet?

Seriously, come back when you have something significant.

The announcement means in theory Nintendo could release in the next couple of weeks.

That's why this doesn't make Sony look so hot.

So?

Nintendo has NOTHING except Zelda and Mario at this point. Not enough to sell units above Sony. Third party Wi-Fi isn't until next YEAR.

Seriously, stop looking at everything like a damn fanboy. Start looking at the bigger picture as a BUSINESS. This is why you and Hawk look like fools every time you post crap like this.

What about the problems they're having with the Wii controller? Wouldn't you think that offsets things a tad? Forgot that, didn'tcha?

If they launch in the very near future, they'll look good next to Sony's... nothing. I'm not sure you can complain about the Wii not having third party Wi-Fi when Sony has first party nothing.

If they released tomorrow, Nintendo could have only a 3D version of Paperboy and it would be enough to outsell the PS3 (which, y'know, is guaranteed zero sales until it comes out).
