The biggest topic of conversation for some following . In addition to playing with songs on the game's soundtrack, you could import music from CDs you had--a feature that will return if you play the game on PS3.

Layden recalled working at SCEE and attempting to bring the game from Japan to Europe and encountering resistance from Sony's marketing department. The game was ultimately released there in 2000, almost a year after it came out in Japan. "Sure, it didn’t go platinum and it didn't make a ton of money," Layden said. "But it did show, again, that PlayStation is the place where everything innovative, challenging, new, and somewhat off-course can come to find a fan, a market, and a home."

Discussing his mention of it during E3, he said, "It was not my intention to rub salt in the Vib Ribbon wound, but to express my admiration for it as the genre-busting title it is and was. My mistake was that I had assumed that everyone who had been around in the original PlayStation era would have had their chance to play the game. I had forgotten that the American gamer was effectively denied the opportunity. To mention it at E3 was to delight some and to squirt lemon in the eyes of others. For this, I apologize."

Fortunately, it was the response from members of the media and gamers to his mention of the game that prompted tomorrow's re-release. "Vib Ribbon is finally making its way to North America, and the major catalyst was all of you who wrote, posted, blogged, tweeted that you wished to see this game come back and wanted your voice to be heard by the suits," Layden said. The blog post includes the image you see above, which features a collection of tweets lamenting the lack of an announcement to coincide with the seemingly purposeless Vib Ribbon E3 tease.

PSBlog : "Hey everyone! If you saw our E3 Press Conference a few months back you may recall, amid all the great games and oversized hand gestures, that I gave a shout out to what I believe to be one of the most iconic games from PlayStations first generation: Vib Ribbon. I wanted to give Vibri some much-deserved, though belated, screen time as I felt this game really captured the crazy that PlayStation was keen to offer back then and look to continue now with our outreach to the innovative and indie game community. I figured Vib Ribbon was a perfect example, and today Im pleased to announce that Vib Ribbon will finally make a long overdue release in the US, Canada, Latin America and Japan this week, with Europe following next week."

Activision has released Skylanders: Trap Team on iPad and Android tablets in the US. Woohoo, great, good for them. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of when Europe gets left behind like this. You see, Trap Team doesn't come out in Europe until October 10th. Why? We have no idea, which probably means the answer is because. Anyway, AppSpy has been lucky enough to go hands-on with Trap Team and ...

Serious Sammy writes: Never before in all my life have I had the misfortune to witness such thread bare third party support on a Nintendo home console. Never before has the Wii U needed a game to release like Bayonetta 2, one of the most highly anticipated titles to release on any console in the run up to Christmas. The Wii U is far from dead with a bunch of exclusive titles coming out by the end of the year and into 2015 but right around the corner (and already out in Japan) Bayonetta 2 will be releasing in North America and Europe on October 24th. The game promises a boat load of content, addictive gameplay and will have you plug dozens and dozens of hours into it. A true core gamers gaming masterpiece.
