Sony today announced plans to distribute a special demo of Patapon via GameStop that will feature some unique content. Firstly, the Patapon demo will include a few levels of the game and also feature a demo-only weapon for the Patapon known as The Spear of Protection. All basic features normally found on a demo disc right? What truly makes this demo special is that players will be able to save progress from the demo and transfer the data to the final retail copy. In doing so, you'll be able to transfer The Spear of Protection as well as start the game off from the demo ending point.

Gamestop will be handing out the demo to all who preorder the game. GameStop is expected to receive the demo within a week or two. Stay tuned for more on Patapon.
