While the PSP received plenty of attention during Sony’s E3 press conference, there’re not many new titles announced. Two of them, ecochrome and Patapon are the only original titles. ecochrome received special mention by SCE Worldwide Studios president Phil Harrison himself but Patapon was only part of the minutes long trailer montage. But man it looks fun and beg to be played.

It has that Loco Roco feel to it, and makes me wonder if director Tsutomo Kouno has any part in this quirky game, which has so far gathered plenty of positive vibes. From the trailer, which is available at GameSpot and 1Up, it appears to be a 2D platformer with music rhythm elements in it. Player controls army that has this cute looking characters with big eyeball and fight giant monsters along the way. Loco Roco style music and sound effects can be heard throughout the gameplay.

In a recent press release given to European press, the game seems to set for release in that territory this October 19th. So we should be able to get more details pretty soon. Here’s a few screens captured from the GameSpot trailer. More after the jump.
