Tokobots clank onto PS2

Via CVG

Tecmo's wacky action-puzzler Tokobot didn't make a massive splash when it was released for Sony's PSP, but Tecmo is no doubt hoping to make more ripples when the series rumbles onto PS2 later this year in Tokobot Plus: Mysteries of the Karakuri.

In case you didn't know, Tokobot has you exploring a series of environments with an army of robots at your side. Using simple commands you can make your Tokobots line-up and perform different tasks, like building bridges and ladders. A bit like Pikmin with batteries then.

Tokobot Plus is set to feature "significant upgrades" and "new elements", it says here, in addition to graphical tweaks from the PSP version of the game. Apparently, we can also expect to see 10 new stages, 30 different enemy types and a time attack mode in the series' home console debut.

Tokobot Plus: Mysteries of the Karakuri is due out in Q3 2006. We'll let you know how it turns out.
