The next entry in eccentric Patapon series for the PlayStation Portable hopes to retain the franchise's casual appeal while adding new features to expand on its simple mechanics.
The Sony published Patapon series -- due out in early 2011 in the West -- allows players to control a squad of creatures using rhythm based commands. Well-timed inputs reward the player with bonuses, while incorrect ones confuse the player's troops and throw battles into disarray.

The first game set to be added to the PS Plus Premium Classics catalog for the month of February, 2025, has been leaked early.
Remastered versions of both Patapon and Patapon 2 are already available on the PlayStation Store and also via the PS Plus Premium Classics catalog. It now appears that the third entry will also be joining them later this month. The PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog and Premium Classics catalog lineup for February, 2025, should be announced this Wednesday at 8:30 AM PT / 11:30 AM ET.

I’m just shocked that Square doesn’t do more Remakes of older IPs. Xenogears and Parasite Eve would be killer... although 3rd birthday does make me lose faith in Square being able to make a decent Parasite Eve game, but if they treated it like Capcom treated RE2 then it’d be incredible.

It’s that time of the month again folks. The time where gamers collectively gather all over the internet to criticize what free games they get this month. So, who plundered the other’s fanboys for all their self-worth and gratification in life? Who was the victor in July? Let’s take a look.
Hmm, Warriors Orochi actually looks like something I'll enjoy. Hell, even WWE could be fun.

I really believe this is the reason there is so much hate every month around the free games. Some fanboys cannot stand to lose any pointless internet console battle, ever.
I'd say about even, overall Xbox has been doing much better and ps plus has continued steady pace, I'd say both games with gold ps plus are about even in there monthly offerings noadays
I'm not liking the changes they made to the series. I miss the old battle cries. Patapon 1 was great and a new experience, Patapon 2 good but just too repetitive if you played the first one. I still haven't beaten it Patapon 2. I'm on the edge about buying this Patapon 3. They changed this game up so much, just look at the gameplay. This is not the Patapon I remember. I will wait for reviews and I might buy it if they cut down on the need to grind on the same levels over and over.
