After rumours last week that Max Payne could be ported to the PlayStation 4, the latest edition of the PlayStation Blogcast announced a new game for the new-gen system's retro lineup – but it's not what you'd expect.
NanaOn-Sha's rhythm classic PaRappa the Rapper 2 will be available on the North American PlayStation Store from 15th December, however the price has not yet been revealed. While PaRappa the Rapper 2 boasted more gameplay elements than the first game, it didn't sell as well, yet it's still as crazy as ever: Colonel Noodle, Hairdresser Octupus, and Beard Burger Master are among the characters introduced in the sequel.
Will you be picking this up when it hits digital shelves? What other classic games would you like to see ported to the PS4? Tell us that we gotta believe in the comments.

If it makes it to the UK I guess I have to get it at some point, only played the first.
I still can't believe Parappa was never released as a PSOne Classic last generation. Surely it would have been easy money?
While cool I'm a little concerned about the game's performance in the UK due to the 50hz issues.
@RawShark
The PSP PaRappa is on the NA store, I don't know how that compares to the original though.
Those complaining about buying a PAL game in the PAL region. Just buy off the US store. It's not rocket science 😉
Was this a PS1 or PS2 game?
@LieutenantFatman
PS2 game
I never played this one though, I played the 1st game a lot on PS1. I may check this out.
@shonenjump86 Thanks. I got confused after seeing Rawshark's comment. Just hoping they release more PSone games with trophy support & not just FF7. It's great.. but I want more!
I've always wanted to try parappa the rapper. Now is my chance.
@RawShark Licensing issues I imagine.
Great game. Will definitely buy that if it comes to the UK.
Now Parappa can blast his mixtape which is on fire on the PS4!
@get2sammyb I'm not sure about that. The songs are all original and Parappa appeared on PlayStation All Stars along with clips of the soundtrack...
I'm wondering if it isn't because of latency issues caused by the emulation. On a game like Parappa it would make the game basically unplayable.
Not what I would expect? This is the only recently announced PS2 game I cared about seeing. Based on the title it will probably be near the lower end of the price spectrum.
Hope this comes to uk. Never owned this on ps2!
