Ratatan, Colorful Spiritual Successor to Patapon, Launched on Kickstarter - Hardcore Gamer
Sony’s Japan Studio was a long-running developer that developed other developers. Rather than a development studio in a traditional sense, it worked with smaller studios to bring games to whatever consoles Sony had available at the time. It oversaw titles as diverse as Ape Escape and Elemental Gearbolt on the PS1, Ico and Flipnic on PS2, Afrika and Demon’s Souls on PS3, etc. Basically it was all over the place, and while not everything it oversaw was a smash hit at the very least games with the Studio Japan logo were almost always interesting. One of the series under its banner was Patapon, which covered three games between 2008 and 2011 on the PSP plus saw the first two games remastered for the PS4.
