"With all the talk last year about LittleBigPlanet's Sackboy being the PlayStation 3's 'mascot,' nobody really thought about the PS3's poor younger sibling -- the PSP. It's been around much longer than the PS3 but has had an even harder time finding a standout character, unique to the system, that provides a sort of summation of the device's strengths and appeal. Well it looks like Sony might finally be prepping the darling LocoRocos to become the Pokemon of their handheld.

The iPhone has been a very successful device and because of that, a variety of games have been made for it and they're not stopping anytime soon. Bob Borchers, the Apple senior director of marketing for the phone, showed some of the newer games coming out, which include EA's Need for Speed Undercover.
Two of the PSP's biggest and most innovative titles are receiving sequels according to the latest issue of Famistu magazine. Both the rhythmic combat of Patapon and simple platforming of Locoroco will be available on the go in these sure to be stunning continuations of both series. No further details are available yet
"It's time to roll out! New reports have come in for the sequel to that that quirky-cute game, LocoRoco. Although this info hasn't been confirmed by Sony yet, it's still something we can chew on while we wait for official details.
According to PlayFrance, LocoRoco 2 is due to be out in France (most likely for the rest of Europe as well) on June 6. Whether it's June 6 of this year or next, we're not entirely sure as the translation is a bit ambiguous.

Some of you probably got excited when you heard Loco Roco was coming to the PS3. You were probably expecting something very similar to the PSP game. Controlling your Loco's with the SIXAXIS or the shoulder buttons. But word from SCEA say's this will just a 'interactive screen saver'. You control the butterflies that the creators eat and you watch them chase it. No more then that.
LocoRoco made its debut on the PSP and was a big hit. Sony then decided to bring it over to the PS3 as a downloadable arcade title. The game will be different then the PSP version, and there will be more loco roco's to control such as butterflies with hundreds of them on screen. Today IGN got a official release date as to when it will hit store shelves. It will come out on September 21 2007.
"Last December, Sony's Phil Harrison said they'd "bring LocoRoco back in a couple of new ways with some new friends in the future." Then, at the PlayStation Premier event in Tokyo this month, they showed off Buu Buu Cocoreccho! by LocoRoco, a sequel that is "LocoRoco, but it's not ... a peculiar extra chapter." So that takes care of PS3, and we have our suspicions about a mobile version, but what about the most obvious platform of all, the PSP? We had a chance to speak with Loco Roco's directo..."
"Ever since we got our first glimpse at Home this past Spring, the internet went a buzz with speculation if LocoRoco was heading to the PS3 due to one of the trophies displayed in the demo avatars trophy room being from LocoRoco.
It seems that these rumors have been confirmed today by Sony during their Playstation Premier event which is currently underway in Tokyo. Buu Buu Cocoreccho! by LocoRoco will be a Playstation Network download which will take full advantage of the Sixaxis tilt co..."
