From http://ps3.ign.com/articles/966/966106p1.html:

March 25, 2009 - PlayStation 3 owners who felt a little left out when Katamari Damacy came exclusively to Xbox 360 last year at long last have the bragging rights all to themselves. The latest Famitsu has first details on Katamari Damacy Tribute, an all new PlayStation 3 entry in the series.

Tribute retains the basic Katamari Damacy formula, but appears to up the scale of everything. You'll find items in far greater numbers sitting around waiting to be picked up and added to your growing katamari clump. The game features over 30 stage goals -- the highest number in series history.

Some of the biggest changes are in the presentation. The game supports full 1080p -- as in 1920x1080.

In addition, the visual design has changed. Or, rather, it can be changed. You can now choose your own visual style, selecting from a variety of styles like "comic touch," "new touch," and "wood touch." The game's rendering engine changes accordingly. Those who like the original style can play the old fashioned way too.

Other new elements include a new monochrome stage, where everything except for your katamari is monochrome, and an all new mode of play that's still being kept under wraps. The game will also feature some form of PlayStation Network support. Famitsu lists the title as supporting two players, so we're hoping for some form of online play.

Katamari Damacy Tribute will hit Japanese retail some time this year. The game is only 40% done, but Famitsu's online counterpart Famitsu.com will apparently have first video footage on Friday.

Last summer I went to Anime Expo and walked past a stall in the dealer's room with plush dolls of the Prince for sale. I made the mistake of not buying one.


Does anyone here know where I can acquire one now? They seemed to have a ton of them for sale.

I went to Mexico to visit family in December of 2007, and while shopping in Coyoacan, we stumbled across this little guy.  You should have seen my expression. :D  I don't know if this has been posted, but here it is!



( Larger Size Under the Cut )

would anyone happen to have any katamari stencils they are willing to share? it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hey, just a heads up for anyone who doesn't have the first game -- Amazon's Gold Box deal for the next hour (4-5 pm EST) is Katamari Damacy for $4.95.

I've been a fan since the beginning and finally was able to pick up Beautiful Katamari to try out...bit of a problem though...

What counts as 'clearing' a level to unlock a new one? Hitting the size request or hitting 100+ points?

Thanks all, and I love the art!

Hmm, nevermind, I figured it out. Anyhoo, <3!

Heyo! I'm a long term Katamari fan, but I just recently got Beautiful Katamari and I'm having a blast with it.


Doodled this today in Oekaki.

I have an older Katamari fanart over here at DeviantART.

I was also wondering if there are any other active online Beautiful Katamari players out there to exchange gamertags with?

Hello~

I looked through the community tags, but I couldn't find a previous post about this. Does anyone know a good place to find screencaps from Katamari Damacy (particularly the cutscenes)? Any links would be greatly appreciated. :3

Okay, so I've had We Love Katamari for little over a year (at least it feels like it XD) and I'm deciding whether or not I should get the first, Katamari Damacy. I've beat We Love Katamari but I'm still at the rose level. We think we may have grown a smidge tired of this. We have never played the first before, but We would like to try- only if it's worth it.
It's 19.99 at EB Games, and I need for you guys to rate each of these things for the first one:
Graphics: on a scale from 1 to 10
Playability: Does it wear off after a while or can it last a year like the second did for me? on a scale from 1 to 10
Creativity: on a scale from 1 to 10
Combos: Is there anything I should remember in this one like a quick turn or dash in the second? on a scale from 1 to 10
And any other notes.
Thanks so much!
