While at the Tokyo Game Show, 1UP was able to confirm with director Jun Morikawa that Beautiful Katamari would not be arriving on the PlayStation 3. But, fans of rolling take heart! Morikawa says that the series will "definitely be making its way to the console soon," just not in the Beautiful Katamari state.
So, will this be the Katamari that evolves the series at least a little bit past the roots established in the 2004 original? Well, what does your heart tell you? Because ours is walking away, shaking its head and laughing, which we can't imagine is a good sign.

Joy. Now all the PS3 fans who said "Who cares? No one likes Katamari games anymore" regarding Beautiful Katamari can all now rejoice and try to claim some small victory here.

loungemonkey, plenty of PS3 users said it over on the official PS3 boards at the time that Beautiful Katamari's exclusivity would belong to the Xbox was first announced. It surprised the hell out of me, because everyone I ever knew who played the other two really loved the series, including myself. Still, it was compounded by other humorous statements such as "Who cares? We're getting Lair!"
Ah well.

Katamari is the best example of the hardware going completely to waste.

So which version will the Wii be getting dammit? Or do Wii get another 3rd new console-exclusive sequel? This is starting to piss me off. I need to roll you up into my life!

Of all the stuff from the PS2 that's been ported over to the Wii, Katamari is the one that I would actually want!

If only there was a system out there that would work so awesomely with Katamari's premise. With some kind of.. motion detection.

Motion-sensing controls?! Are you insane?! Who would ever construct such a device?

How the hell could a game "sense" motion? What does that even mean?

Gotta love the anti-PS3 propaganda again. It's always so odd to see how stories morph between their PS3 fanboy versions, to their Joystiq versions. It's as if the second they reach Joystiq there is no hope of it ever being a good game - even if it is.

I'm the only one imaging himself rolling kittens rather than playing katamari?
I would like to roll puppies or ferrets but kittens will have to do.

I've always loved the Katamari games so I couldn't care less what bloody system it comes out on. I'll get the 360 version and if and when it comes out for the PS3 I'll get it for that system too. I do think it would be interesting to see if they use the sixaxis controller to roll the Katamari around, now that would be very cool.

No,the assholicless is all yours.I say Eteranal Sonata is great.
In my case I don't think I will buy a game for a month after halo 3 unless it is Rise of a ninja or Tag Force 2.
Also I already got Oblivion GoTY Edition so RPG wise I don't think I will ever have to buy a RPG until 08 but I would like to check eternal sonata someday.

I'll take katamari in any form I can get it, rehash of the original or not. I know that I am one in a million in saying this, but I love the original Katamari Damacy perfectly, like an only child, and, similiar as the gameplay was, I loved Everybody Loves Katamari equally, like a second born child that was in a tragic plane crash with the other child, but miraculously survived, so now you treasure each moment with him even more, because now you have to love him enough for the both of them. Hold your babies close, everyone.
