Ape Escape Swinging To The PS3 For More Monkey Pants Nabbing?

What will the power of the PlayStation 3 add to the monkey-catching and pants-vacuuming gameplay of the lovable Ape Escape series? Way more monkeys with flashing lights on their heads, according to new art released to promote the series.

The ā€œofficial Twitter page for apeclub.com, which is the official website for Ape Escapeā€ has been teasing a new Ape Escape game all week, tweeting that a new PS3 game is due later this year. Oh, and that ā€œā€˜Ape Escape PS3’ may be the best game so far for PS3 Move.ā€ Apparently that cat’s out of the bag?

In other clues, the Ape Escape ministry of information claims ā€œIf you loved ā€˜Piposaru 2001’ you’ll love Ape Escape PS3,ā€ potentially referencing the monkey shorts-stealing gameplay of that Japan-only PlayStation 2 game.

The game—which is ā€œnot ā€˜Ape Escape 4ā€²ā€ā€”could be on Sony’s list of titles that it plans to highlight at next months’ E3 expo. If it’s PlayStation Move-enabled, we’re guessing it’s going to get some attention.
