The system looks so slick
And the graphics and style of that title look amazing. How does it play?

 

[bobafett]

PSP is a damn cool system. I want two.

 

[Ferrio]

Does that truck say what I Think it says?

 

[neptunes]

it's a sony 1st party game

 

[duderon]

Looks damn nice. I'd be hella afraid it would break if i touched it, though.



Edit: They made fun of this cat in animal crossing :lol

 

[Miburou]

Does that truck say what I Think it says?

That's a 'te' not a 'ko'.

Hands-on TGS 2004 impressions from IGN

 

[olimario]

Yes, but how does it play?
I can only imaging a unique, awesome, and simple design like that would fit well with a really cool play style.

It would make a really funny and fun sidescrolling beat-em-up like Viewtiful Joe.
Or a witty RPG like Paper Mario 2.

Let the TGS overheating swap jokes....BEGIN!

I can't remember the name of that game, I tend to mix and match all these Japanese names. I know there are suppose to be PS2 or PSone versions in the series, or something like that. But no matter what, that PSP screen is amazing.

 

[jooey]

How does it play?

like shit if you only know english.

Rape Rape Cat Gang Bang?

 

[JackFrost2012]

I totally thought the truck said ... that ... too.

olimario: what are you on? that's Toro, from Doko de mo ishho. The series is like 6 games in the past 5 years. he's the PS mascot in Japan. it plays like all the others do, I presume

 

[Ferrio]

That's a 'te' not a 'ko'.

OK, knew my eyes were tricking me.

 

[olimario]

What did you all think the truck said?
It's not clever or funny to keep secrets.

Character looks familiar, sure, but I still don't have a clue how the series plays.

You could probably learn a thing or two from the woman holding it in the picture then

 

[Brofist]

That no 'te'...it's definately a 'ko'

 

[Ferrio]

That no 'te'...it's definately a 'ko'

Ya, I got suspicious after not finding any word "Mante", but it looks like it could be either. Wish I could make out the kanji after it.

 

[Brofist]

i can't read the middle one

it's 不＿意

 

[Jonnyram]

That's a 'te' not a 'ko'.

I disagree. It's DEFINITELY ko. Look at the way the top stroke starts. Te starts from the bottom upwards, not the top down.

 

[Lord Error]

.It's called "Doko Demo Issyo" http://psp.ign.com/objects/683/683118.html

No idea what's it about

 

[duderon]

Would be kinda hard to play, no?

 

[Miburou]

That no 'te'...it's definately a 'ko'

The way it's drawn looks more like a 'ko' than a 'te', but then it's one connected line rather than having a gap between the upper and lower parts of the character.

 

[kaching]

Baby steps, grasshoppah. First you learn how to hold it without breaking it, then you learn to play.

 

[Ferrio]

Ko's written like that sometimes.

Could the word be: 不得意 ? Naw doesn't look like that... hmm

 

[Brofist]

'ko' - こ

'te' - て

see how on the bottom stroke of the ko, on the left side it curls up a bit. It's exaggerated a bit on the word on the truck, that's what gives the appearance of the connecting lines there.

 

[Jonnyram]

Ko is drawn like that in some fonts. I assume the picture is photoshopped (it's on ranobe after all). And the kanji looks like 不動産 (moving company).

 

[cvxfreak]

I think that's a KO myself.

 

[Ferrio]

The whole picture looks like it was pasted on.

 

[Brofist]

yeah that sounds/looks right

 

[Bebpo]

looks like:

まんこ
不動産 - ふどうさん - real estate

 

[snapty00]

Hmm, just visited the IGNcube boards. It appears that a large gathering of children on that board has started a protest about how that game copies Animal Crossing and Nintendo's endless vision of innovation. That picture, specifically, is making its rounds. Hum.

The series has been around longer than Animal Crossing and plays totally differently. It's more like a glorified tamagotchi.

 

[Miburou]

I guess my brain wouldn't accept the fact that a kid's game would have that word in it, and thus made the character look like a 'te' to me, but since it's a possible photoshop job, then that's different.

 

[Kon Tiki]

So what does the eyetoy have to do with the game?

 

[JackFrost2012]

Too bad "Doko de mo Issho" came out years before Animal Crossing (it was the original PocketStation killer app, and the only reason PocketStation survived in Japan at all.

However this looks more like "Doko de mo Manko"!! SONY WASN'T KIDDIN WHEN THEY SAID PSP WAS AIMING FOR A MORE MATURE AUDIENCE.

MANKO DECHU

 

[Miburou]

Strange how the first game was a million seller, yet the sequels have failed to do more than 50,000 each, and Sony still continues to make 'em. I was actually interested in the one where he goes on a virtual tour of Japan.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Even if the games don't sell, the character goods are very popular, even with people who don't play the games.

The PlayStation created a new casual market. I know a lot of people that unashamedly own a PS, and games like Dokodemo Issho, Parappa, FF8 etc., but those people never moved on to the PS2. There's still a huge difference between PS and PS2 sales.

Obviously, the 2 shots were taken at different instances. The Manko truck may be just passing by. Heh !

 

[fennec fox]

You teach the cat new words by typing them in. And then they appear elsewhere in the game.

That might make sense.

 

[Kobun Heat]

That might make sense.

If it wasn't an official Sony presentation.

Could it be "mango", and the ten ten is blurred out?

 

[JackFrost2012]

okay now I'm picturing a truck driving through my neighborhood singing the yakiimo song:

"Irrashai, irrashai! Oishii manko wa, ikaga desu ka? ~maa-nn-kko~ ~maa-nn-koo~"

 

[fennec fox]

What I mean, is that a player can type it in and then take a picture, or maybe it was there already.

 

[AnIco]

There's some nice info on Toro the Cat and his games on this site here (although not this particular PSP game).

His full name is Toro Inoue ^_^

 

[Zaptruder]

mmm... manko manko manko! If you're reading this and still don't know what it means, more for me!

 

[Kobun Heat]

OH! Yeah, that's certainly possible.

Like this witty picture I made at the Cube Club 2001 on an early version of SSBM.
