Hellfire Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I just see 360 and PS3 mentioned. Fuck you Namco.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I have a 360. Katamari is great. Excellent.
McMad Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I can't tell if the game looks any better in those screenies. Ah well, Katamari is still awesome. :awesome:
Retro_Link Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I just see 360 and PS3 mentioned.Fuck you Namco. I know! No offence to the 360 or PS3 but I can't understand putting this game on either console over the Wii! The graphical capabilities of the 360/PS3 aren't being used in the slightest, and the game could have benefited from the Wii controls, taking the series to a new level!
Goron_3 Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 It would sell so much more on Wii aswell...*sigh* Will games companies ever learn?
Hellfire Posted April 18, 2007 Author Posted April 18, 2007 Katamari is the perfect for Wii, it's seriously stupid. Also, it's the only one I own. For now.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 It would sell so much more on Wii aswell...*sigh* Will games companies ever learn? Yes i'm sure there's no reason that they aren't porting it to the Wii and you know a lot more about the way the industry works than they do.
Daft Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Can someone please explain to me the point/objective, i.e. what the hell is going on, of Katamari? I've never played it but I've heard good things!
Guest Stefkov Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Can't wait for this. I was planning on picking up the Ps2 version(s?) but theres other games I need.
AshMat Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 It looks awesome and that. But won't it just be the same as all the rest?
Retro_Link Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 But won't it just be the same as all the rest?It certainly looks to be! That's why putting it on Wii and using the controller would have been a much better move; at least it would have added something different!Can someone please explain to me the point/objective, i.e. what the hell is going on, of Katamari?I've never played it but I've heard good things! Here's a trailer from 'We Love Katamari' on the PS2 to show what the games are like; http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=8953&type=wmv&pl=game
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 I don't really see how it would have been a different game on the Wii
Domstercool Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Err well the PS3 could do rolling stuff with the sixaxis, so it would have to be super uber totally different not Katamari any more to use full Wii Remote functions. I'll be getting this game, now the deciding factor is which version, guess I'll have to wait for reviews to see what uses each systems abilities. Remember kids, Katamari is worth buying alone just for the awesome soundtrack those games have.

How exactly do you complete a level? Are there levels? Is there a story? It kind of looks a bit shallow, is there anything more to it?? Thanks! : peace: Also...When is this out?
AshMat Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Plus the game is mostly unheard of to "casual gamers" that are supposed to be buying the Wii. They'll want to just release iton a userbase that's already there.
Dante Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Reasons for BK not on Wii are: Online BluRay DVD-Rom Katamari creator has something about Nintendo. (I remember him saying something that Katamari is more suitable for PSP than GC)
Colin Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Reasons for BK not on Wii are: Online BluRay DVD-Rom Katamari creator has something about Nintendo. (I remember him saying something that Katamari is more suitable for PSP than GC) That's all bullshit. Unless you're just putting up some stupid reasonings to get a reaction off some of the above people. Online isn't an issue, as neither of the PS2 games had it. Blu-Ray/DVD disc isn't an issue either, as the Playstation games were on single-layer DVD's. And finally the Katamari creator has nothing to do with this version of the game as far as I know. I think the series is overrated, and got far more praise than is deserved. Gameplay and innovation wise it's outstanding, but that initial buzz goes real quick.
Dante Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 I said that because it may be the stupid reasons that Namco wont put it on the Wii.
ZeldaFreak Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Katamari is the perfect for Wii, it's seriously stupid. Also, it's the only one I own. For now.

(I remember him saying something that Katamari is more suitable for PSP than GC) Seen as he left Namco as well as the Games industry I doubt it.

Hellfire Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 He didn't say he experimented with the control he just said he didn't like it. Point blank. So, basically he's a biased guy. Also, it's José :P

That Guy Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 I'm interested in this, but do I get one of the PS2 games, or just wait and get it on Xbox 360? It looks like a game that would be aided by achievements so I'm thinking 360.
Retro_Link Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 http://www.cubed3.com/news/7355/1/Namco_Bandai_Bringing_Katamari_to_Wii_and_DS? Nintendo News | Namco Bandai Bringing Katamari to Wii and DS? Quick News - As previously reported, Namco Bandai has announced the Wii version of Katamari will come later than the rest on 14th November for $29.99 to give the team time to make full use of the controls. The DS was also mentioned by Jun Moriwaki, the game's director, as a possiblity. I thought they'd ditched the Wii version having not announced it with the 360 and PS3 version?! Good news it seems!
