Patapon Priced

Rhythm fans rejoice: Patapon will be storming shores wearing a less-than-$20 price tag.

In a holiday post yesterday on the PlayStation Blog, Sony's Director of Software Marketing Jeff Reese broke the news that Patapon, a 2D rhythm-based game where you lead the Patapon tribe into battle, will ship for $19.99.

"As you can see, Patapon is really different and highly creative, a new kind of PSP experience we don't want anyone to miss," Reese wrote. "It's a game that shouldn't get lost with some other big titles launching on the platform. It deserves your attention because it's very cool."

Keep checking IGN for the latest Patapon news -- and check out the game's box art below that Reese was cool enough to post.
