Patapon has you commanding through the power of music

So what is Patapon? This mysterious PSP game surfaced briefly during E3, and was never heard from again. The game has you controlling creatures not directly, but indirectly through the power of music. As translated by PSPHyper, "different combination of drum beats can instruct the Patapons to do actions like advance, protect and attack."

Famitsu has the incredible artwork the game is based off. Like LocoRoco and echochrome, it looks like Sony's taking inspirations from all over the world for its newfound taste in unique, quirky games for the handheld. Hopefully, we'll be able to play the game at Tokyo Game Show in two weeks.
