More confirmation that Beautiful Katamari is an Xbox 360 exclusive

Silconera writes that "Originally Namco Bandai announced Beautiful Katamari as a Playstation 3 and an Xbox 360 game, but shortly after Namco Bandai's Editor's day N'Gai Croal mentioned on Level Up it was going to be an Xbox 360 exclusive. This isn't a rumor, he is absolutely right about Beautiful Katamari being a 360 exclusive. Check out Namco Bandai's fact sheet for Beautiful Katamari, it only mentions Xbox 360 as the platform."

[icechai]

ahh just saw the screenshot of the fact sheet, dont approve this, sorry :P unless you really care for an actual screenshot of the fact sheet which the other article doesn't have...

[paracardium]

Find some solid proof before wasting peoples time plz.

[Ggame]

I feel doubted cause a few days ago Bandai-Namco has revealed that thay're developing Katamari for PS3 in Japan.

Or this's land + time exclusive ??

[StupidTeenagersMust-]

Everyone should be able to play this game.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

The 360 is the only system I WOULDN'T have put it on, DJ.

There's the sixaxis on the PS3 and the wii-mote on the Wii. The ONE system it won't sell well on is the 360!!! I know MS is trying to be more "family-friendly" right now, but this game won't sell well on the 360...

PS3 release list:

2nd one is Beautiful Katamari.

[Jay da 2KBalla]

Stop with the explanations sony cheerleaders. Ps3 this ps3 that. It says 360 only on the official namco site so stop with all your complaining. And everyone can play this game..............if everyone buys a 360 but I guess to you sony supporters thats going against your religion huh? Whats even funnier is that you all come to do damage control for this game. Are you serious? Katamari? As if this is the next big thing lol.

Get a life

[Xeoset]

ATM they're coming up with every option that could mean this is wrong, Articles from before this kind of up to date information.

Leave them to it, they'll tire out soon.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Do you use the words "Sony Cheerleaders" in public?

I'm just mocking YOU for dissing someone else. It a bit ridiculous to bash someone for doing something YOU DID FIRST ON THE SAME FORUM!!!

[TheMART]

Mocking someone with a head like that? ROFL

[BlazeXXL]

Are you this sad? So let me get this right, if don't have a good arguement then you should just insult someone for their looks?

F*ck, it seems you're just an ignorant little asshole, that has zero respect for this site + community. WHY DOES HE STILL LIVE AROUND HERE?? Am I the only one who thinks TheMART is a sh!thead without any self esteem, and thus trying to make lads with better looks feel bad???

God.. help me.

[Xeoset]

It's amazing to be an Xbox 360 owner right now!

[FadedDRFT]

Untill it breaks down.

[shysun]

I thought Xbots said this game was ugly and kiddy?... now it's exclusive to the people who dissed it? M$'s pockets are deep indeed, deep enough to damn a great game, into the Wal-mart super savings bin!:(

[Jay da 2KBalla]

I really hope you dont say the word xbot in real life because they would look at you like you are stupid ass hell.

[shysun]

Sure, thats what I do....

[THAMMER1]

Come on Bro. Na... I can not call you bro any more. You call people xbot. How LAME are you!?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

If you weren't an xbot, you wouldn't be saying that...

...just sayin'...

[etownone]

xbot? use that in the real world, and people would laugh at you. USe it on the forums where nobody knows you. stupid. must be a kid. I dont go calling people sony fanboys.

if you want to play great games, buy 360, if you want to play games that might possibly be good in the future, then buy a PS3.

[Yados]

not really fussed about this game at all lol, never played ones before if theres any, first time im ever heard of it:P perhaps i live under a rock or summit

[sony4life]

that M$ has to get exclusive rights to games that no one really cares about. cant they make a new ip? oh well i dont care 4 this game anyway. its a great year to be a gamer thats not a fanboy cause there are lots of great games coming out on both consoles and if others opened their eyes and stop sideing they wouldnt be missing out on the fun the rest of us are having.

[AcidRhain]

This franchise is great. Bitter much?

[m000b1]

what is this game?

[Why o why]

strange but fun and simple game. very east asianish (sorry) and probably wont sell too well on the xbox outside of japan just like viva Piñata which is a good game 360 owners should try. Different. They have to get the price right mind you. If its released on the ps on any of its platforms it should sell.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

What do you mean "what is this game?"???

You've never played Katamari Damacy or We Love Katamari? They were only the most addicting games ever created! You roll around a ball and collect things. It seems easy enough, but you have this KING breathing down your neck the whole time...and it's frickin' hilarious.

Seriously though...why only put this on the 360? This would be SO fun with the Sixaxis. Does no one else see this? Put it on the Wii too...this would DEFINITELY sell on the Wii.

[bootsielon]

If you can't make original games, buy them.

[BIadestarX]

I know it hurts... but isn't this part of the console war? It's party of the strategy... microsoft is bringin new IPs like Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Gears of war, Viva Pinata, .... but they also know... they wouldnt be able to take Sony's ball if they don't take away their strong 3rd party support... which it was what got them to where they are.

"If you can't make original games, buy them." this statement may be true... but does it matter? Gamers only care about the games... Gamers didnt care that Sony pretty much took from Nintendo titles like Final fantasy, Metal Gear and almost all the 3rd party big titles. Well history repeats itself.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Kinda like what Sony did to Sega huh. I dont think it's possible to remove that big ass foot from your mouth, need to see a doctor or buy a shoe horn.

[Yados]

for sharing my view lol i didnt down talk the game in anyway that is truly shocking:P

[BIadestarX]

I don't think it matter if this game is a time exclusive or if it will be permanent. This proves one thing.... Sony failure to secure their exclusives. I think that's what really matter here. Sony is pretty much losing every 3rd party exclusive games. This may hurt but it's the truth... but unlike Nintendo who does not rely on 3rd party developers to push their console... Sony is where they at because of 3rd party developers... Sony's strong titles are for the most part 3rd party games. They are losing them all... when they are not being made multiplatform (DMC, Virtual fighter, ....) they are being made exclusives (Ace Combat, Beautiful Katamari ...). No matter how Sony fans try to twist this for Sony's benefit... the fact is that this represent Microsoft ability to take from Sony what they have at will. It's a fact that Sony lost their ability to maintain 3rd party exclusive support.. now they have to rely only on first party games.. specially since games being made for both consoles look better/have more features(i.e. online) on the 360 or are the same.
Sony better do something quick... and get control of their 3rd party exclusive games. Learning from nintendo... 3rd party exclusive support was what killed them and gave Sony the edge. and sony is losing that to microsoft.

[Why o why]

but old ones get replaced with new ones. The ps isnt losing 3rd party developers just some of the 3rd party exclusives. The things that we know nothing about should be the things that make the difference ie lair drakes etc the games that all of the next, next gen would want and bicker over. From what is seems like sony are using new developers and trying to be a bit different, of course loosing exclusives seems like doom n gloom but other factors have to be taken into account like the exclusives that have stayed exclusive and games that have not yet been announced yet.

[sony4life]

sony also stated they never had to pay out of pocket for those exclusives either so who seems more desperate now. personally i thank some games moving to 360 is great like ace combat 6 because of the unified servers that sony lacks. just picture 40p online dog fights. swEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEtness!!!

[Jay da 2KBalla]

If you weren't a sony cheerleader, you wouldn't be saying that...

...but I mean ya know I'm just sayin'...

[Cartesian3D]

someone plz explain WTF is Beautiful katamari? ...

I dont know anythin about that game.. so many news about this game and I didnt even know WTF is that!

help plz.. tell me about gameplay

[tehcellownu]

if namco announced that time crisis is exclusive to the ps3...why cant they jus come out and said katamari is exclusive to the 360? oh i know why because it isnt exclusive..

[sadiq]

i dont get the big deal, konami removed ps3 from their trailer and ppl think its going to be 360 too, well they did the same thing with metal gear solid 3 snake eater trailers aswell and it still was an exclusive

[Covenant]

As I said before, it won't move systems, but it does help MS with one thing the 360 lacks: Gaming diversity. That's what helped PS2 win the last-gen.
