So, I checked the Playstation Blog today and saw a post about how Patapon was going to sell for only $19.99 at release, which is really cheap considering most games release at $39.99. I wonder why they decided to release the game for so cheap…I think the game looks amazing, but I guess it won’t exactly have mass appeal. Patapon is scheduled to ship February 26th.

Developed by Interlink, the creators of LocoRoco, Patapon is being released exclusively for the PSP. The player hits certain button sequences in time to create a rhythm. These button sequences then translate to different actions your army will do on screen. I’m not really sure if your army moves forward on it’s own, then the game prompts you with a sequence of buttons, or if you can enter any sequence of buttons you want, which then translate into “Move forward”, “Attack”, etc.
