PaRappa on the PSP!


Ladies and Gentlemen, it's official: our groovy, little doggie hip hop hero is finally making his way into our PSPs pretty soon as it has just been confirmed that PaRappa The Rapper will be released in this handheld format. In fact, his official site has already already modified to show these changes.

Though the official release date is yet to be announced, the official site boasts that 4 people will be able to play the game on ad hoc mode, and that game sharing will be possible.

Stemming from its Playstation roots when it was first released in 1996, PaRappa the Rapper follows the exploits of our 2D rapping dog. It's a musical game where the goal is to hit the correct buttons, at the correct sequence, at the correct time in order to produce an intelligible imitation of rap.

Do people actually play this crap?

Apparently, yes, especially those who were around when it was released on the PS1. :)

Taking a wild guess, but maybe you're a 14-year old who has no idea what's actually going on so you just sling around stupid, angry comments.

Feeling left out, maybe?

Feeling like a big douche bag maybe?

I have this on the PS, and PS2 :-) But lets be honest, Um Jammer Lammy was the KING (or queen as we should say it)... playing the guitar, then as a bonus you could play the game again using rap-tracks with Parappa!

We need a Lammy revival! Pleasssseee! (PS3 hint hint)

"...correct time in order to produce an intelligible imitation of rap."

Since when can rap be intelligible in any way shape or form?

Yes this game was one of my favorites on the PS.

So is this going to be a new game or a remake?

i never played this game hopefully it will become a hit title

I loved this game during the original launch date of the PS1, I'm pretty sure I'll love it on the PSP. Hell, I'm already loving the PSP port of Intelligent Qube for the PSP, IQ Mania. PS1 classics own. Simple, basic, yet fun to play. I do really hope that the Um Jammer Lammy game is unlockable in this version though. It'd be a waste if it was just Parappa especially considering that UMDs can hold like 1.8gb which is more than 2 CD-Rs.

 » Remake

based on the screens it appears to be a remake of the first game

 » Good game.

But that Frog with his bohemian rap and that chicken with her... voice... I hated them.

 » Hells yeah!

This game was a freaking blast back when it first came out and I've always wished someone would port it to the PSP.

HELLS YEAH!

 » erm

anyone remember the "toilet" stage - where everyones queuing up for the loo? hehehe!

@ all them 14 year old comments- you're just idiots that cant appreciate any other games outside FPS / GTA.... open your minds to other experiences. .. . dumbasses (katamari damacy!! grin!)

But I liked the frog ahah. I hated the chicken and then the bathroom stage once it got to the chicken. Haha.

But hmm..since Parappa's coming out...let's all hope that Square-Enix makes a port of Bust-A-Move/Groove. :)
