Well Nintendo might make Namco make the game have dual Wiimote controls in order to drive Wiimote sales out the roof (cause they're not already). Then it would work like with two analog stick but motion controlled.

It sounds rediculous at first, but these are the guys who spent $50 to upgrade the GC, repacked it and then sold it for 250% of the GC's price.

The GameCube has a single-threaded PowerPC processor running at 485 MHZ. The Wii's processor, running at 729MHz, is faster.
The GameCube has 24 MB of RAM. The Wii has 88 MB of RAM.
The video card in the GameCube has 16 MB of video RAM, while the Wii has 88 MB.

(I know it doesn't sound like it but I am kidding around, I have a Wii and I LOVE it, however I still can't get over this fact ^^; )

even if they still didn't announce it officialy, the official website doesn't show the ps3 logo anymore... so i guess we can forget the ps3 version...

and I was waiting for that version to try that series. I guess I'll go look for those ps2 version now :\

From what I've seen of the 360 one though it isn't really that much better then the PS2 ones anyway. I know that you can roll the universe up now and the game probably has Anti-aliasing and stuff but still, the PS2 ones were great, and if you haven't played them then there ya go ;)

Reportedly Famitsu says the PS3 version is canned.

Reportedly Bandai Namco says the PS3 version is canned.

Reportedly I'm hungry and am going to go to Wendy's. Anyone want to come?

P.S.
I think we can all agree on the status of the PS3 release.

I'm pretty starved too.

I guess that this coming out on 360 cements my purchase of one within the next few weeks. With that new extended warranty I guess I shouldn't worry about Red Rings of Death anymore either. I'd like it if my console didn't fail at all though.

Oh okay.

Yeah, it isn't on their E3 lineup for PS3, either. Pretty much confirmed.

Ultima, you're seriously buying a 360 for Katamari? Sure there's lots of reasons to buy one, but not that. It's just an updated rehash of We Love Katamari. It doesn't even look that much better or even have any new modes other then online.

But hey, whatever turns you on. I sure as hell don't have to understand.

Sucks for SONY to lose a great game, I almost wonder if they'll even last before the year ends, but whatever atleast it'll be on the Wii.

I'm buying a 360 because I'm a multiplatformer. I always have all three systems of the generation, and the 360 is the one left that I need. Katamari being on it just justifies the purchase a little more.

Ok got ya. Knew that there had to be more to that then what I saw.

PSWii60 ALL THE WAY!!!

The Mario, Mass Effect, MGS4, GTA4 period is going to be a killer period. Both in awesomeness and stamina to play the games... oh yeah, and on the finances too ;)

So... three months later and I'm wondering. Did anyone pick up this game? It should be out some time today =p.
Is it really a rehash of the ps2 version (plus achievements?) The demo version didn't tell me much apart that it plays much like its predecessors.

For a 360 game that's 40 dollars I have reason to believe it is. Then again, it's KD and Namco always prices that game well below the standard retail.

From what I've heard, it's usual Katamari fare... As in, way too short, but the time you play is pure happiness <3

I'll put it on the Christmas list.

God Slayer, way to fire off the favoritism. Anyway.

And the game is going to be released ten days from now, I believe. Played the demo and it was incredibly fun. However, it's only on my "must buy" list, seeing as there is COD4 and Mass Effect coming out.

It came out today, as far as I know. I'm teetering on whether to pick it up now or wait, since I've got a good backlog of games at the moment.

I'm confused. Is the game at retailers like Best Buy and Gamestop or is it only available on XBL?

Yeah all the backwards developer comments and blog posts have really got me turned around on this game too.

UPDATE

Looks like it's an actual hardcopy. Still, the PS3 version details are more twisted and hard to follow then some MGS cinematics.

Yes, that's what I thought. Though I'm really curious as to what else was crammed into this version of Katamari. Meh, I think I'll pick it up. I need something else to play on my 360 other than Halo3.

I called my local gamestop about it and they said it should be on their shelves either this afternoon or tomorrow.

I guess in other areas it can take as long as a week to get to a store.

It's a hardcopy :)

Picked up my copy today. Beautiful Katamari is not coming to the PS3 as it has the " only on 360 " sticker on the top that wasn't on Eternal Sonata.

So if PS3 owners are expecting Beautiful Katamari, they're Shit outta luck. I've yet to play the game as i just got home from work and have to grade some papers. When i'm finished with that, i'm gonna boot it up and i'll tell everyone what i think.

That's just it though. There's 14million stories, all with different rumours "facts" and speculation on what consoles the game is coming out for (most of the havok caused by Namco themselves) that I wouldn't be surprised if people somewhere were making bets as to what all the end product would end up coming out on.

It's great that the 360 people get to experiance this amazing palette of drugs that you don't consume. However I myself would probably never buy the game even if it were the greatest high that you can get without actually taking drugs seeing how I got bored of the secong game long before I even completed the game 100%. I just can't handle more of the same, without SOMETHING being different.

People purchase consoles for no reason, supplying a single game as a reason sure as hell shouldn't be relevant in this instance. How do you know it doesn't look much better and doesn't have new modes? Both PS2 games were in 480i, this will be in 720p, and have online.

Oh wait you haven't bought or played it.

Neither can I, is your attitude getting a sequel?

The PS3 version was confirmed cancelled, but no word on the Wii version. Chances are it'll just stay on the 360, which is a very sad thing.

It doesn't mean they can't make ANOTHER Katamari game for the PS3 or Wii. It just won't be BEAUTIFUL. Really, Namco is going to milk this franchise all they can and rightly so. Just give it some time.

Reportedly Sony says the PS3 is canned.
