TGS 07: New Katamari Game Coming to PS3 & Wii

Linkin Park Fan | September 22, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 Wii Tokyo Game Show 2007

There has been some confusion lately, first Beautiful Katamari was a game coming to PS3 and Xbox 360. Then it was a 360 exclusive. Then on Namco Bandai's website it said it will be multi platform. Director Jun Morikawa cleared this all up by saying that the PS3 will have a different Katamari game then the 360. He also hinted that the game will come out for the Wii

There's been some confusion about whether the Xbox 360 title Beautiful Katamari is also headed for PS3 or Wii, especially after the game showed up on the Namco Bandai website as being so last week.

Speaking with Beautiful Katamari director Jun Morikawa at the Tokyo Game Show, he clarified that Beautiful Katamari specifically will not be appearing on the PS3 -- but, that the series will definitely be making its way to the console soon.

Whether this PS3 title ends up being a pseudo remake of Beautiful Katamari with some added enhancements (as Namco Bandai did with Ridge Racer 6 on Xbox 360 to Ridge Racer 7 on PS3) in unknown. Then again, the Katamari games aren't that fundamentally different from each other anyway. The real point? A new Katamari game is headed for PS3. The director also hinted at the series making an appearance on Wii.

Confusing.

Why make one Katamari game for one system, and a seperate game for another?

So it can take advantage of that systems features

But why make the PS3 have the same version as they Wii? Unless they both use their motion sensing in some way

YEAhh!!! Good catch.. Probably the motion sensor has something to do with it. Also Xbox's live probably will affect online capabilities and versatility. Maybe they'll pack a lot more content into the PS3 one, since they can use Blu ray. And maybe MORE items on screen! Because they can use the Cell.
