Patapon coming to the US?

Patapon coming to the US?  photo

Not too long ago we told you about a SCEJ's upcoming rhythm game that features marching, spear-wielding eyeballs. This title, called Patapon, will be released in Japan this month, but we have yet to anything of release dates outside of Japan.

Siliconera's sharp and beady eyes noticed that Gamefly has a listing for the title. Of course, this could end up being nothing, and there's no release date listed, but it gives us hope. SCEJ did release Piyotama (meh) and LocoRoco (bleh) in the US, so I see no reason why we shouldn't see this title later on.

If not, you may remember that I mentioned that all of the dialog and text we've seen so far is in English, which would make this an import friendly title.

That image screams Samurai Jack to me. Now I have to check out what this game is about just because of that.

That screen reminds me of Odin Sphere somehow.

I've heard the game isn't as interesting as people seem to think.

I really would like to try it, or at the least see it in action

Is this some self-parody with GIANT ENEMY BATTLE CRAB?

I've wanted this game ever since I saw the first screenshot - looks amazing... and what's wrong with LocoRoco? I thought it was a really great game
