We Need Patapon

[crzyboarder1197]

I think there should be a patapon for the iphone
i was playing patapon at my friends house on psp and im addicted.
do you think it would work
they could put virual pata,chaka,pon,don buttons on the screen
what about you

[jborislow]

What about me?

[crzyboarder1197]

what do you think about an iphone patapon

[Tennisking1o1]

What about me?

Ha.

Anyway, i think I drained anywhere from 30-40 hours into patapon on my psp, and I loved every moment of it. I loved the game and have been writing around these forums about how a game like patapon would be great. Because it is owned by Sony, it will basically be impossible to get any game similar to it on the iPhone, but we can hopefully hope for a decent rendition of it somehow.

[GBX]

Actually the thought crossed my mind once and I did not really think it would be that good on the iPhone. (game relies on too many buttons)

I always though locoroco would be obvious but we have rolando for that i guess.

[Caminagetcha]

Using this thread (since its open... and to open a similar thread) what about something like Exit for the psp?

I think it would be really cool and dont think the iphone would get any trouble running it :P

[superbad]

patapon was good. i played like two levels and cant play any levels after that. are you supposed to create new pons and levels yourself?

god i hated that.

Patapon will be on the iPhone on the same day as OSX is an option for PS3.

[Tennisking1o1]

I guess I'll have to look out for a news article that day about how hell froze over too ;)

[Flunkie]

Yep, not happening. There's a great possibility for a similar game, in the light of a Rolando/Loco Roco relationship, but an actual port, of sorts, will not happen.

[Thorero]

Tennisking, Sorry to burst your bubble, but I believe hell has frozen over: Yeah, seems like hell froze over.

But Seriously, I doubt Sony would be too happy to allow anyone release a Patapon Clone on the iPhone.

[McChikun]

A lot of people have been saying that we need Patapon and Loco Roco for the iPhone - after all, they're casual, unique, and fun games that have helped define the PSP as a platform for innovation.

However, rather than ports of these games that have been built from the ground up for the PSP, we need games that take advantage of the unique features of the iPhone. Why settle for a copycat? Just look at Rolando - some people may say that it looks like Loco Roco for the iPhone, but it's so much more, because it takes advantage of the iPhone's features.

[spyker3292]

Keep dreaming. I mean, maybe a clone, but Patapon is a PSP exclusive. I can't wait for #2!

Loco Roco makes a lot more sense on the Iphone than on the PSP...

[Hitch]

I've been saying the same thing for a long time now. It wouldn't take that many buttons either, just four. Menu opperation would be as easy as sliding through everything. I hope something like this comes up soon.
DON CHIKA!

[costanza]

Sony is not going to release one of it's exclusive games on a competing platform. Stop with these idiotic threads.

[super6ft7]

your a ****ing liar! I don't need Papaton to live!

[sticktron]

I think the idea is that if demand is demonstrated, perhaps someone will develop a clone, just like with Loco Roco/Rolando.

That's what I mean! I liked Rolando a "little" bit more than loco roco in fact. Not actual patapon, just something like it.

[PSMOkizzle]

spyker, patapon 2 IS out, its a digital download only

Look at his post date.

[LBG]

There is a patapon clone on the app store right now. I remember reading about it on a website, but unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the game or the website.
THINK, brain, THINK.

[Militia]

I want it!!!

[shawn_10]

yes, think! :D

[LBG]

yes, think! :D

I am thinking my hardest, and searching every iPhone related site I know of.
I'll report back if I find anything.

You'd be my hero if you could find it! :D

Found it :D - 'Mevo and the Grooveriders: Galactic Tour'
Not quite the patapon clone I was thinking of, but it is near enough to patapon. It is a bit different as you are in control of one guy, not loads of patapons and you aren't trying to defeat another tribe, so not really a patapon clone which I thought it was. It looks fun anyway.

Actually, I kinda fell for this too. It isn't like patapon at all. The guy just runs while you tap out the beat with 2 (only 2!) buttons. If you mess up he stumbles. I beat every level on every difficulty without even getting close to loosing. Kinda a letdown... :( Maybe there'll be a closer game someday.

Just look at Rolando - some people may say that it looks like Loco Roco for the iPhone, but it's so much more, because it takes advantage of the iPhone's features.

THANK YOU. I have been saying this for ever! Rolando is similar in the fact that you roll a ball shaped character to the other side of the level, but as far as gameplay goes, it is completely different.

[decentminded]

Patapon, yes yes yes! ;)

[jackiemac]

Heh, maybe something like Knights Onrush with music and a beat! :D

Oh, or maybe a new PocketGod 'patapon' update where the pygmies battle pygmies from another island! Hmm.... ;)

[The Game Reaper]

This is almost as bad as the Mario threads.

[Omega-F]

Contact Gameloft and tell them that you want a Patapon clone. Maybe they can make it happen, because otherwise, ain't happening.

[Hitch]

LET'S DO IT!!!!! :D
Hurry everyone! They could have it out by the end of the month if we hurry! :p haha jk. I guess I'm semi-satisfied just playing both patapons on my psp. :D
But if a good game that was kinda similar did come out... I'd get it in a heartbeat!

[mantisLJD]

They should make an evil patapon clone>:)

I played a lot of Patapon 2 this weekend when I travelled to Gamescom in Cologne with a friend and decided that I want to try making some kind of Patapon clone for iOS - But don't expect this to be out very soon or even to be as complex as the original. I did some Flash games a while ago but never really coded anything in Objective C / openGL...

Anyway, will keep you updated if I get any further...

[Borgqueenx]

our only hope will be gameloft. i mean they made Halo for iphone, they can maby do patapon. i also enjoyed that game very much...

[westbugs]

I love patapon. It would be great if it's on iphone.
