Toro! Let's Party! is a Video Game developed by SCE Japan Studio and BeXide, and published by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. It was released on July 23, 2009 for the PlayStation 3, coinciding with the 10th Anniversary of the Doko Demo Issyo series. It is mainly a party game, though there is a prominent story mode in which mini games are unlocked as the story is progressed. A different version was made that contained an English translation in other Asian countries, including Hong Kong, making it the first Doko Demo Issyo game that was officially released in Korean, Chinese, and English. The Japanese version of the game was re-released on the Japanese PlayStation Now, on September 15, 2015.

This was a game I saw recommended on a few Playstation importing threads I looked at, so I got it on sale off of Play Asia thinking that it'd be a silly party game, and it didn't disappoint. Especially because, like Okami on PS3, it's completely in English if you have your system language set to English.
It's a collection of about 20 mini-games, some are single player and some are multiplayer, although I haven't tried it on multiplayer. They're all fun at least passably, and they're good fun for a quick laugh, mostly the ones that use the 6-axis motion controls and make you do really drastic actions in a coordinated but frantic fashion. They're not for everyone, but I enjoyed them. My favorite was the one where you've gotta use both arms to "cock your arm back" to pound Mochi for a moon-cat.
My favorite part of the game by far was just the sillyness and lighthearted (mostly) nature of the story itself. If you know stuff about Japan and tropes in its media, I think you'll have a similar enjoyment, but I was just constantly giggling to myself with all of the stupid situations that Kuro and Toro get themselves into, not to mention all of the ridiculous costumes that Toro wears X3. The story if also further enhanced by all of the great Engrish, because the last-half of the story chapters' translation AIN'T great XD
If you're just looking for a fun silly romp, it's good fun. I'll have to give some sort of update on the multiplayer component sometime (hopefully I can test it out this weekend).
Perhaps you too, can "BECOME A BOWLING!"

A super charming mini-game compendium featuring the super super charming and adorable Toro Inoue; Sony's abandoned Japanese mascot who is such a great character that he deserves the international spotlight. Let down by a really substandard translation though. I played the Chinese version of the game by the way, which includes English subtitles, but there are grammatical errors everywhere and it hurts the experience.
If the only game to get translated in this series wasn't the ps3 mini game collection and if said English translation wasn't a hong kong exclusive for some fucking reason i feel like the fujoshi's would be going MAD over toro and kuro. they would have found each other in any universe :3
Said mini games range from pretty fun to kinda boring and overly long. but the dialogue's real cute!
If you have a modded ps3 like me or a pc that can do ps3 emulation then it's still worth playing but PLEASE don't pay the fucking 200$ that the English version of this game goes for on eBay.
I wish the retro video game market a very crash.

A minigame collection. I played through the whole story mode in a single sitting and I really wish I didn't
