TGS 08: LocoRoco 2 and the curiously embargoed trailer
Strangely, only one thing we reported on at Tokyo Game Show this year was under embargo. And that was this LocoRoco 2 trailer. Why? We don't know. If you read our hands-on impressions, you'll know that we're absolutely in love with this rather substantial sequel. Take a watch and see if you can find all the new gameplay features and enemies.

But I don't like these LocoRoco in 3D :/ It's terrible.

GOTY (for me at least)
This is looking really really great to me, and I cannot deny the cries...er....singing of the LocoRocos. Bring it on!

HBH,
Being I haven't played Locoroco, can you explain what's addicting about this game? I just don't get it and I'm hoping somebody can explain. It looks like a bunch of mini games with cute cartoon like critters to me.

LocoRoco is a puzzle game in which you tilt the world to roll your character through the level. It's really hard to explain why it's so endearing, you really have to try it to understand.
There were a lot of demos for the original, I suggest you try finding some.

Looks like this game will be pure fun fueled by stunning amount of fresh ideas. I'm looking forward to start rolling as soon as it comes out.

Anybody know yet what's up with the 3D rendered LocoRocos? Is that a specific mini-game, or just something they keep sticking in these trailers to confuse us?

I'm guessing that's a part of intro or maybe just a part of an ad. They can't make Locorocos in 3d in actual game unless they want to make a total graphical disaster. 3d shaded Locorocos wouldn't fit with enviroment in 2d that isn't shaded.
