The oh-so-lovable Patapon are invading Japan. Will Japanese gamers understand the game through the simple message of this 15 second ad? (We hope so! Early sales indicate the title is performing quite sluggishly.) But, what will America have to do in order for such a quirky, inventive game to get the attention it deserves?

Well i dont blame the Japanese for not buying this game. It doesnt look that fun, and besides, its gets so much attention that other great games never did. I want more games like Syphon Filter, Renegade Squadron, Medal of Honor Heroes, Wipeout, etc. Not this casual game crap

Released three weeks ago in Japan. Sales:
1) 16,076
2) 8,231
3) 5,152
Just 30,000. No-one in Japan will buy fun, original and quirky games unless they have "Nintendo" written on them - six month old DS titles do 30k in three days. Yet they complain the PSP has no fun, original and quirky games to buy.......they ignored Loco Roco too.
