+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 10, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) PEGI the European videogames ratings body, has rated the game Vib Ribbon for the Playstation Network. This means it is likely to soon appear on the Playstation Store. The game is made by the creators of the Parappa series and the object of the game is to guide Vibri along a ribbon which has obstacle puzzles that correspond to a song being played.

First released in 1999, the game allowed users to utilize their own music CDs to generate new levels for the game's scribbly vector rabbit to traverse. The title was Nanaon-Sha's next major development following its success with Parappa the Rapper and became a cult import hit in the U.S. following its release in Japan and Europe. NanaOn-Sha head Masaya Matsuura hinted at a forthcoming re-release to Gamasutra at the 2007 Tokyo Game Show. Said Matsuura, "Many of my friends from the states have been asking me 'When are you going to make Vib Ribbon again?'" adding that the title would be "for new hardware, or downloadable. I really think I have to do that. It?s been many years since then, so I have to." It's not yet clear how the PSN version might operate, but presumably could be altered to search a PS3 or PSP's stored MP3s in lieu of CD generation. No similar ratings have been found in the U.S.'s ESRB database, nor have official announcements been made, so it's similarly unclear whether the PSN game will debut in North America or remain a European and Japanese exclusive.

It's a weeeeeird music game - http://uk.gamespot.com/ps/action/vibribbon/review.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcCp3Smu3js - Tutorial - Level (awful music haha) - Level with Misfits, just to show custom music can be used.Naturally thanks to CFW, people can already play this on the PSP - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzbj0fXwyp4 With custom music support this could be quite fun! I'm sure it would support remote play as well. Only thing unclear is whether it will be a PS3 PSN store remake, or just a PS1 classic upload.

Scazza Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oh man, Vib Ribbon is a PS1 CLASSIC!!! Yes the game was weird but quite addictive! May have to pick this one up as far as I can remember it's quite hard to come by a CD Version of Vib Ribbon (I may be wrong though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
