Topic: Confirmed: Beautiful Katamari PS3 Canceld, Wii Version in the works

[Mashiro]

According to various sources Famitsu has relayed information that the PS3 version of Beautiful Katamari is indeed canceled.

The news first came about as Bandai Namco announced their E3 roster of games, showing BK as only to appear on Xbox 360.

In response to a Wii version of the game, they say it is indeed in the works. Although according to the Game Director players should not "expect that anytime soon" as they need to rework the game to work with Wii's unique control system.

I was about to complain about the delay, but then I realized that I wouldn't be able to afford YET ANOTHER game this fall anyways. *sigh*

[Mashiro]

Well Bandai Namco said to expect Beautiful Katamari for 360 to "roll into stores" sometime early in 2008. But yeah, a later release may be good seeing as how the upcoming months are going to be jam packed with AA Nintendo titles.

It'd be a nice spring '08 or even summer '08 game for Wii when the software flow dwindles a bit.

Well, looks like another direct hit for the OFFICIAL Wii rumor thread.

I'll remember to update that later

Do you have a link to this story? It would be great news if this is indeed true.

Who actually plans to buy this game?!

If you played either the first one or the second one, you've already done everything there was to do with the concept.

[Nick DiMola]

I'm definitely buying this game. The first two games were great, and of course the concept is somewhat shallow but the combination of new music and levels will make this game worthy of purchase. Not to mention the Wii controls will be quite unique and will put a new twist on the series.

[Smash_Brother]

Fair enough.

It just seems like it's been done before.

Smash_Brother, here is one of the sites I heard the story from http://www.gamedaily.com/blog/2007/07/05/e3-pre-event-coverage-beautiful-katamari/

Never played a Katamary game before. I'll want this to find out what all the hullabaloo is about.

[matt oz]

I'd buy like, 8 new Katamari games.  That's how much I love that series.

I was seriously tempted to buy a PSP just for Me and My Katamari.

I wasn't doubting the claim, just saying that I still cannot understand why people like this series.
