Rumor: Beautiful Katamari skips PS3, Goes Wii

IGN.com writes:
"Namco Bandai revealed earlier this year that it was developing the next-generation Katamari Damacy sequel, Beautiful Katamari, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Up until recently, the developer continued to work on both versions of the project. However, sources close to Namco Bandai tell IGN that the studio ran into some trouble with the port of the game to PlayStation 3 and these issues, coupled with the stalled sales of the system, have led to the project's quiet cancellation. Looking to better-than-expected sales of Wii, the company has, say insiders, re-shifted resources to ready a Wii build of Beautiful Katamari instead."

They need to rename the game to Ugly Katamari for the Wii. LOL

Laka6147d ago

I don't think Sony really care too much about this game because they have ton of others, so this is a non factor.

Numark6147d ago

this game actually has a solid sony fanbase.

ericbs6147d ago

I see that high and mighty attitude alot from sony fans for some reason. From "Developers are so damn lazy cause the ps3 version of a game isn't as good as the 360 version" to what you said. I seem to be hearing it alot and it is really irritating me. I guess since you are too busy playing your Motorstorm and...um..resistance..and...uh watching blu-ray movies, 3rd party developers mind as well just stick to wii and 360. But then if it isn't coming to the ps3, i hear it isnt that good anyways. I know you guys see this happening so please if you beg to differ, do it maturely.

Mr_Kuwabara6147d ago

I really don't care about this game at all and I bet many Xbox gamers don't as well.

Naruto6147d ago

it's a Rumor like ign said insiders said halo going to DS?

amerz6147d ago

However if they make a Wii version, avoid it like the plague.

Not only would it have been great if Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Nier, Blur and Lollipop Chainsaw got to become backwards compatible, it also would be great if those games got to have more games come out in their franchises.

VenomUK1767d ago

I want Toby Gard’s Galleon. I have the game but no way to play it and I’m not going to buy an original Xbox again.

Gunstar751767d ago

Primal Rex1767d ago (Edited 1767d ago )

When You Really Think About it, Katamari is Probably the Most Disturbing Game You'll Ever Play

It may look all happy and cutesy at a glance, but when you actually consider Katamari's gameplay, it's actually rather dark. Very dark, in fact.

It maybe disturbing but it's fun as hell and why the Ps4 doesn't have one yet or a Noby Noby Boy 2 is beyond me.

eddieistheillest2739d ago

Creator went to make a different game but I want one sooo bad.

Venoxn4g2738d ago

I want a proper katamari game for ps4 please

kimblejay2735d ago

Me too! Since writing this article I've had Katamari cravings so bad. Looks like I'll have to settle with Touch My Katamari on Vita for now. I'd even be happy with Backwards Compatibility for Beautiful Katamari on Xbox!

Venoxn4g2735d ago

Katamari forever on ps3 is good too.. psp one as well.. ps2 both games are awesome too
