Sony's getting proper nostalgic this year with PlayStation 4 ports of PaRappa the Rapper and LocoRoco, and now the platform holder has revealed when you can expect to play them. Master Onion's up first, as you'll be able to kick punch your way through the Japanese giant's remastered PSone classic PaRappa the Rapper starting 28th March in North America and 4th April in Europe. In the Old World, the game will cost you £11.99, but you'll be able to get it for £9.59 if you're a PlayStation Plus member and you pre-order.
The title will be followed by the port of legendary PlayStation Portable platformer LocoRoco, which will hit the PS4 on 9th May in both North America and Europe. Again, it'll cost £11.99 in the Old World, but PlayStation Plus members will be able to secure a 20 per cent discount if you pre-order. Both titles will come with spruced up visuals, Trophy support, and PS4 Pro functionality. Will you be purchasing either of these iconic outings? Beg for Pata-pata-patapon in the comments section below.

I'm just gonna have to face facts. I'll be getting both.
Wish they included Parappa 2 and Jammer Lammy
Yeah I'll be getting Parappa, but probably once its in a sale.
Worth adding both pre-orders come with dynamic themes.
@Quintumply Same.
I've never really played Parappa, but I'm very excited for Patapon and Locoroco Glad to see the prices are solid
Added US dates.
@KingofSaiyanZ None yet.
Sly Cooper and/or Gitaroo man lives port !
Is the demo that is currently in the Playstation store for this game? If so, no thank you. I missed out on the original so I was excited to see what all the hype is about, so I downloaded the demo. I thought the demo was terrible. This can't be the "HD" remake can it?
parappa sucks, but the locoroco games were my favourite games on psp
@dkxcalibur That's PaRappa the Rapper, yeah!
It is really cool that Sony is remastering these classic games. Was never able to get into PaRappa the Rapper, unfortunately.
Parappa, locoroco, and patapon is day 1 buy for me, I hope sony remakes all of their good psone and psp games. Also the price and the discount is nice.
I was super excited when they announced this, but then when I played the demo it seemed that only the gameplay sections have been given any HD Remaster treatment. Those looks great, and the game plays the same, but the cut-scenes are all janky as all hell. I suppose it's too much to ask that the full release won't be like that?
I gotta believe. Yup, I'm buying this.
No physical editions?
@manu0 ah man don't be dissing the parrappa
@johncalmc That's because there isn't really much you can do with actual cutscene videos to make it better unless they just remade them from scratch which is probably too cost inhibited. Pretty much every remaster game has had this issue.
Hopefully at PSX this year they will announce Um Jammy Lammy, Vib Ribbon and Patapon 2 and 3 remasters as well. Imagine if Vib Ribbon worked with your Spotify playlists!
@Xaessya Lamy yes would have been great you never know they might have it on there as for Parappa 2 it's already on the PS Store
I'm more than happy to drop £9 on Parappa excellent pricing I was expecting north of £15 tbh
@get2sammyb Wait PaRappa and LocoRoco are getting physical copies in Japan?
@Corosanbo Cool, thanks for the link.
