Tecmo is my favorite developer right now. (Namco is a close second, but they've been off of their game lately). I'm glad to see them doing something original on the PSP.

This looks pretty co.... oh wait....Tecmo....oh well.

On the one hand, I really like the sound of this game and am looking forward to a reason to use my PSP. On the other, I'd love to see a proper console version of this.

About time someone cloned Pikmin. I doubt Nintendo will make another anytime soon.

The toys of this are going to rock. Hopefully Lik-Sang offers them for for 2 bucks like those crappy SF capsule toys.

Uber nifty new video from TGS posted on 1up.com. Shows the main hero using the robots against an enemy/boss shooting lazers, using them to spin and make a bridge. Also shows that you have a female radio contact:

OK, check out Tecmo's new trailer for the game and tell me that you do not want to play this:

(click on the video titled "Tokobot Trailer (10/28/2005)")

The new video features a lot of exploration and enemy fights in the ruins (check out that kick ass grappling hook move, the propeller jump and the sweet combo/transform robot with machine gun and using the 'bots to turn giant gears) Releases in the U.S. November 29. Can't wait.

This game had me at this.

Same here. The concept art is beautiful.

Also, I can't believe it is almost 4 months since i started this thread, where does the time go?

[Finch]

It has some kind of whimsical Tail Concerto/MMLegends look to it, too. Anything that reminds me of those games makes me happy. Well, since those two games only remind me of each other.

Hot damn. They should make it for a piece or hardware I already own instead of a portable I have no use for. I especially liked the fights since the platforming seemed a little too easy, though that might just be the first level.
