First, we were looking at the PSP and thinking that this is a console that will not always be played outside, but it is the home entertainment console that the player can take outside and still enjoy all genres of videogame.
When we started this project, we realised that this game would be released about half a year after the PSP had been released. As such, we tried to imagine what sort of games the users would be looking for at this point. We anticipated that the users would want a game that they could enjoy for a long period of time, or something that offered unique game action. We decided to go with the later candidate. As a result, we aimed to return to the origins of the action game and we’re honoured that you think that Tokobot is the first original platform game on the console. I think we were lucky with our timing as far as this is concerned
