Sony Computer Entertainment Japan is teasing a new game on their site with a countdown and signs are pointing to it being a brand new Patapon. The background of the countdown looks eerily like the aforementioned Patapon series that has so far been found strictly on the PSP. However with 5 days remaining until a beta test, this is looking like a PS3 game, possibly an online one?
E3 is right around the corner, so we will likely be finding out soon enough.
