As if Santa hasn't been busy enough, we're getting something festively plump other than Jolly Ol' Saint Nick. It may not be in time for the holidays, but North America should ready itself to be smothered in cute 'cause LocoRoco 2 has been dated for release in that region. Japan and Europe have already been enjoying this adorable game, and now North America will also get a piece of the action on the 10th of February, 2009.

LocoRoco 2 will come with more content than the 2006 original, and it's designed to keep the blues away, and get the smiles to stay. Honestly, how can you ever frown when you hear these little guys bounce and chatter all over the place? So while we wait for February 10th, let's watch this vid and feel all good and fuzzy inside.
