Patapon gets Famitsu’s Platinum Review, spreads holiday cheer

While we’re still busy waiting for Pyramid and SCEJ‘s Patapon to arrive in North American and European shores, the diminutive war rhythm game managed to nab the Platinum Review award from Famitsu, and made some lucky people happy this Christmas season. Find out how in the full article!

To spread the holiday cheer, the Patapon crew sent out cool Christmas cards to select lucky people – with Patapon demo discs included. Check out the holiday cheer spread Patapon-style, signed by the game’s artistic director ROLITO and game designer Hiroyuki Kotani.

While we can’t wait for the arrival of the Patapon tribe in February next year, here’s some news tidbits to whet your Pata-Appetites: Japanese gaming publication Famitsu awarded Patapon the great Platinum Review award. We’d love to get our hands on an English translation of the review, but until then, at least we know that our PSP will get another great addition to its games library very soon.
