Loco Roco's Kouno: PSP needs more titles and I have around six

Loco Roco will have a sequel - Image 1

Video game developer Tsutomu Kouno revealed during the Nordic Game Conference that Loco Roco will indeed have a sequel and that it will feature new gameplay based on physical calculation and crowd AI, not to mention a few surprises. Ironically, now he's saying that the PlayStation Portable (PSP) platform needs more titles other than sequels.

"We need to make more new games for PSP, not just sequels. We have to increase the number of casual games, games that Loco Roco players will want to play. There are too many sequels for PSP, only sequels, so I want to make a new game for PSP," Kouno told online gaming site Games Industry.

The developer wouldn't reveal though anything about this new title. But he did mention that he actually has around six new ideas and that he is still considering whether to make them for the handheld or PlayStation 3 (PS3). Whatever happens, fans can be assured that these games will be exclusive to Sony's gaming systems. He added,

I have many ideas, but I can't make them all because I am only one person. I have five or six new game ideas either for PSP or PS3, but I actually want to make them for PSP - for the people who bought Loco Roco, or bought a PSP because of LocoRoco, and like casual games.


When asked whether Loco Roco will be appearing on the PS3 in the future, Tsutomu Kouno answered, "I can't really say anything official right now, but... As you'd expect."

Why does Loco Roco sound like Yoko Ono?

'as you'd expect' so that's a 'no' due to the fact that loco roco bombed on the psp...

i rather enjoyed playing loco roco... but it was 1 dimensional and over very quickly... not value for money (also i know it was actually in 2 dimensions)
