Co-developed by Japan Studio and Pyramid, Patapon launched for PlayStation Portable, featuring sound design by Kemmei Adachi and Daisuke Miyake. Adachi told the PlayStation Blog:
Congas and bongos just on their own didn’t seem satisfying enough, so we had to come up with a signature sound for Patapon. On top of the African instrumentation in the foreground, we mixed in percussive instruments from a lot of different countries.Bandai Namco Entertainment has posted the Patapon 1+2 Replay Hype Trailer to the company's YouTube channel. The compilation, mixing rhythm game and real-time strategy elements, sports higher resolution graphics and new difficulty modes.
