Vib Ribbon coming to PlayStation Network

If you were in the video game news business many years ago, you may remember a game called Vib Ribbon. It was a sort of musical game, a rhythm game in the vein of PaRappa the Rapper. This game was different on the original PlayStation though, as it allowed you to slide in any audio CD you wanted to use as your rhythm tracks.

Unique levels and clever programming were everywhere and now the title is coming to the PSN and will hopefully get supported via the PSP as well. It's a natural fit for allowing the use of any music you want. Our only query is how we'll get the music on the PSP. Hopefully the game will be tweaked to allow our Memory Sticks to carry the music we want. We'll keep you posted as more information becomes available, but this is a classic game that should not be overlooked.

It regularly has its games rated and the PEGI rating does not mean the game will be released on the PSN.

Following earlier news that a PEGI rating for cult favourite Vib Ribbon had been spotted, VideoGamer.com has learned that this does not necessarily mean the game will be released on the PSN.

"... as far as I'm aware there is no new version in the works," said a Sony spokesperson. "We regularly have our games rated so this may not mean it's actually going to be released but you can always keep your fingers crossed."

We still think Vib Ribbon for the PSN is highly likely and we're certainly keeping our fingers crossed.

just download the new PSP game on the PSN called Beats. it's a rhythm based game that allows you to play to any song saved on your memory stick. it is AMAZING!!! best $5 you could ever spend for your PSP. there is also some sort of online play and a way to make your own song mixes and share them online but I haven't really checked that out yet because I've been playing the game nonstop. everyone with a PSP should download this puppy!
