Katamari is a series of games with an arcade-like goal of rolling a gigantic ball, trying to attach the most stuff to it. The game was met with so much success, that various sequels, such as Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari have been released. Namco has announced that they are developing even more sequels. 'Beautiful Katamari' will have over fifty playable characters (which have the same abilities), large-as-globe maps, and network capability (possibility of massive multiplayer Katamari battles?). Namco is 50% done creating an Xbox360 and PS3 version of this game, and we should get a Nintendo Wii and DS version sometime later. The reason for the delay of the development of this game on Nintendo consoles is the uniqueness of the controller. It should not cause too large of a delay, however. There is no word as to when we can expect betas of this game, or when it will be done.

Honestly, if you like games, there was absolutely no reason not to buy a ps2. PS3, now that's a different story.

Katamari, to me, was and still is, one of the stupidest games around. IF this offends anyone, I apologize, but as I said, its my opinion. Im sure its fun for kids and those who likes party games, but I think its just a waste. My apologies.
