LocoRoco 2 to sell for $20

The sequel to one of the PSP's greatest games is coming next month for just one Andrew Jackson! That's crazy cheap!

The PlayStation Blog dropped news today that the US will finally receive the uber-cute puzzle platformer LocoRoco 2 next month. While we'd normally scoff at getting a game after Europe of all continents, there's a very bright silver lining to this cloud. It's only going to be twenty bucks!

LocoRoco 2 to sell for twenty bucks

Don't be fooled. You need to kill that penguin.

While US sales figures for the first game aren't readily available, the price point is probably a result of the tepid performance of the first game. While the reviews thus far have been almost as positive as the original's, LocoRoco 2 is performing even worse in Japan than the original. When Patapon was released at $20, it fared far better on the US charts. Hopefully the lower price point will allow more fans to familiarize themselves with this amazing, unique series. You can read more about LocoRoco 2's release on the PlayStation Blog, where our former Senior Editor Chris Morell is one of the bloggers. Why not go say hi? While you're there, ask if he wants us to throw out the bottle of Gatorade he left in the fridge.

Maybe it's just me, but I like paying less for things. That's why I'm jazzed about this news. Note to Sony: Patapon 2 for $20 sounds pretty good too.
