So apparently this was in the conference last night, I must have missed it. 
More Patapon! 
When I started a new game, I needed to choose what type of hero I would be. That's right; what type of hero I would be. Previous Patapons have cast you as the army's God, but this game looks like it's casting you as one character. Yeah, you still have a squad with you, but you choose this one masked hero who will be taller than normal Patapons, but you're the one beating the drum. You're not some slick omnipresence.
This is definitely a change, but it makes sense because of the way Patapon is setup; this game is meant to be played with your friends. You can play by yourself if you like, but the game totally encourages you to get together with players. When you go to set out on a mission, it'll ask you if you want to have other people join you and if you want to do it locally via ad-hoc or connect to the Internet and play via Infrastructure. There's even a competitive mode that allows for four-on-four battles.
