360 - Beautiful Katamari - Katamari Was Comment on Consumerism Eurogamer: "At his talk at last week's Game Developers Conference, Namco Bandai's Keita Takahashi revealed that he intended his first game, cult hit Katamari Damacy, to be a comment on consumer culture.

In Katamari, players can roll up almost every object they see into a giant, all-consuming snowball of stuff. Takahashi told the audience that he saw it as "a game about the consumption society". But that presented him with a problem - playing it made him sad.

"I wanted to make more objects. If there are few objects, I feel lonely. If there are more objects, they will make things more colourful. But when they're rolled up, they're gone. I felt empty," he said."

360 - Beautiful Katamari - Beautiful Katamari gets official release date Atari has finally concreted the Beautiful Katamari date as 29th February in Europe.

It follows a bit of indecision by the publisher, which said February then changed its mind to March.

However, we were treated to a demo for it at the end of January, so you can hop on Live now and roll things up as if you were in control of a giant magical snowball.

360 - Beautiful Katamari - Warning: New Beautiful Katamari DLC is a Ripoff Gaming Today reports a ripoff and advises you not to buy Beautiful Katamari and encourage this kind of business practice:

Beautiful Katamari's "downloadable" content includes four new levels, each costing 200 Microsoft Points. The problem: the content is stuff that is already on the disc, only you aren't able to access it until you fork over even MORE money than you already have paid for the game.

i.e., You're paying additional money for keys to unlock the content that is already on the disc. Four separate keys, each costing 200 points.

360 - Beautiful Katamari - TGS 2007: New Katamari game coming to PS3, but not Beautiful Katamari There's been some confusion about whether the Xbox 360 title Beautiful Katamari is also headed for PS3 or Wii, especially after the game showed up on the Namco Bandai website as being so last week.

Speaking with Beautiful Katamari director Jun Morikawa at the Tokyo Game Show, he clarified that Beautiful Katamari specifically will not be appearing on the PS3 -- but, that the series will definitely be making its way to the console soon.

360 - Beautiful Katamari - Ace Combat 6 heading to PS3 with Beautiful Katamari, Eternal Sonata? According to an interview at the French website Jeux Video, (see the first alternative source below,) the producer of Ace Combat 6 has revealed the possibility of a PS3 version of the air simulation game.

In addition, earlier the official site for Beautiful Katamari listed PlayStation 3 and Wii versions as "TBD" ("To Be Determined,") The website has since then been updated, and the PS3 and Wii listing removed after being spotted and reported.

In a similar fashion, Eternal Sonata (aka Trusty Bell in Japan) is also listed as "TBD" for PlayStation 3 -- but interestingly, no Wii. The unintentional listing has also been discovered and removed.

Altogether which seem to be an interesting coincidence. 1UP speculates that Beautiful Katamari and Eternal Sonata will be announced at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2007, (i.e., the second alternative source below.)

Note: Snapshots of the evidences were taken by Kotaku before the websites changes and are attached below.

Aug 16, 2007 We expected more than a simple VS mode in Namco's Beautiful Katamari on 360, but the bonkers rolling game has got way more planned... A new "Thingy Battle" scenario will have four players from around the world take on each other in a competition to roll up the most of a specific item chosen by the King of all Cosmos (your giant dad). The player to finish with the most of that item apparently wins the "love of the king," if you really want it. And in addition to the usual ... » Read More

Beautiful Katamari is rolling towards Xbox 360 and we've got a trailer of it to show you. In it, you'll get to see some pleasantly familiar action, as the Prince collects skyscrapers, buns and goodness knows what else in his titular Katamari. There's also the promise of HD graphics (a given, really) and downloadable content. But is it really beautiful? The Katamaris on show look a bit higgledy-piggledy to us. We wanted only SHARP things. Or something. Decide for yourself by watching the ... » Read More
