Yes, that's right. Sony just announced that the latest LocoRoco title, Oideyo LocoRoco! BooBoo Cocoreccho! for the PS3, is actually an interactive screensaver. However, before you groan in utter disappointment, here's some news for you: this time around there's going to be 200 species of LocoRoco and some mini-games!

We're not really sure if it can be called a screensaver, not when there's so much to do. We've mentioned that players will take control of a butterfly to lead the LocoRoco around, but that's not all there is to know about this game. There's going to be 200 kinds of LocoRoco (LocoRoco fun increased ten-fold!) for you to lead into safety, and there will be 3 mini games that can be accessed while you lead your horde of cutesy, singing critters.

In terms of safety, you might want to avoid the Moa, those creatures that love to eat LocoRoco. If you lose some critters, don't be sad; there will be mini-games that will give you a chance to multiply your LocoRoco. Winning mini-games and self-preservation is crucial; if you lose too many critters the big boss BonMucha will wake up, ending your game. Or screensaver.

Oideyo LocoRoco! BooBoo Cocoreccho! will have a crisp 1080p HD resolution, and will use the SIXAXIS controls. There will be an online ranking board as well, where players will be tallied up according to how many LocoRoco were collected in addition to how well they did in the minigames. A Time Attack ranking is also included.

All in all, it sounds sweet for a screensaver. Pricing information is not released yet; but what we know is that its not going to be for free.

IGN has 5x as many ads as this place...I never go there for that reason, amongst others. (aka they want you to pay for everything, which is retarded.)



IGN is to gaming as MTV is to music.

That's ridiculous. Something like this should absolutely be free. They want you to pay for a screensaver AND the game? Ridiculous.
