LocoRoco PS3 dated for Japan's PSN Sept. 21

LocoRoco on the PS3 might not be what fans are expecting, but at least now there's a confirmed date for the Japanese PSN. Oiedeyo LocoRoco!! Boo Boo Cocoreccho! will be available in Japan on Sept. 21, there is no announced price yet. The game will apparently be very different from the beloved PSP version as players take control of a butterfly and lead LocoRocos to the goal.

Yeah, the video above gives a little better idea of what's going on. We're absolutely befuddled why the motion control Sixaxis wouldn't be used for a classic LocoRoco experience of tilting the screen, but we'll reserve our rage until after we actually get to try it. The part where we get stuck on is that using the Sixaxis to tilt the world would have made absolute sense, instead they change the gameplay to using a pointer style mechanism that would be perfectly suited for the Wiimote? It's horrrible that this game sounds like it was designed for the wrong system — but we'll take LocoRoco on any system because it is gamer Prozac.
