Following in the footsteps of Patapon, LocoRoco 2 will carry an MSRP of $19.99 when the game hits retail on February 10. This is good news for pretty much everyone, including Loco Roco fans and cheap asses.
Sony has also announced that pre-ordering the game at GameStop or Amazon will get you access to an early demo of the game. Pre-order customers will get a voucher code that can be redeemed on the PlayStation Network for the demo, which will be released a few weeks before the game hits shelves. If you don't have an Internet connection, you're screwed, of course. (And how are you reading this?)
LocoRoco 2 is technically the third game in the series, following up last year's interactive screensaver game thing on PlayStation Network, LocoRoco Cocoreccho. We assume there will be more to do in LocoRoco 2, even if it is just $19.99.

These are not budget game, these are the only reasons I still own a PSP.
Again, it's strange to me that Sony is only charging $19.99 for Loco Roco 2. It's like throwing momney away.
Throwing money away? Really? Have you seen sales numbers for LocoRoco 1?
The last thing I played on my PSP was Downstream Panic which was decent but didn't hold my attention for long.
This is kind of the opposite of what they did with the first two Katamari games (first was released at $20, second was at $30). If vgchartz is to be believed, Patapon sold half a million but Locoroco is only at 170,000.
Hopefully more people will play it at this price because it is an excellent game on many levels.
Now if they made a 3D Loco Roco for the PS3, one that looked like that clay-amtion Loco Roco promotional vid Sony put out a while back, that might sell.
