Loco Roco: Boo Boo Cocoreccho Japanese release date confirmed

The PlayStation 3 version of the the PSP hit Loco Roco has gotten a confirmed release date for Japan. Loco Roco: Boo Boo Cocoreccho will be hitting the PlayStation Store in less than a month, on September 21st -- no price has been announced yet. Also IGN has confirmed what we figured out last week, that you don't actually control the Loco Rocos at all, instead you control a little butterfly that leads the Rocos around the level.

The title is being billed as an action title with full online leaderboards by Famitsu so hopefully the early rumors of it being an interactive screensaver will turn out to be false. It's still a shame that they've chosen such a radical departure from the gameplay of the PSP version, but at least it's good to know that they're releasing an actual game. No American or European release dates have been announced yet.

Hopefully the change won't make it any less enjoyable. Let's hope this hits the other stores soon.

i am looking forward to playing this no matter what the differences are as i loved the charm of the psp version. And i thought i read somewhere that a true sequel is still being done and that this was just a side project. Hopefully these will be playable on ps3 & psp like the new version of "calling all cars" thats coming soon.

Just like I said last time, the Sony UK says this is going to be an interactive screensaver. I don't know what Famitsu is smoking.

Quote from last time, "These great downloads are coming soon to PLAYSTATION Store...

LocoRoco™ Cocoreccho: The loveable LocoRoco come bouncing on to PLAYSTATION 3 in this _interactive screensaver_."
