Atlus Officially Announces English Persona 3 FES
If you still have your copy of Persona 3, now is the time to sell! It will only depreciate in value. If you don’t have a copy, don’t feel too anxious, after Persona 3’s popularity there should be enough copies to go around once it is released.

I stumbled upon Patapon the other day here in Japan and realized, after a bit of research, that it is being released in North America for the PSP (Playstation Portable). I can only describe it as some insane combination of Loco Roco, Pikmin, and Taiko Drum Master. If that doesn’t have you running out of [...]

As I was working on an upcoming post concerning Patapon (パタポン), I became slightly nostalgic for the music of LocoRoco (ロコロコ). I figured I would try to find the OST for free somewhere in the vast ocean of the Internet.
