What's the deal with Beautiful Katamari?

You HAVE two control sticks on the wii.

Wiimote and Nunchuck.

Or does everyone seem to forget there is motion control in the nunchuck?

You mean you seriously can't tell the difference between a remote control and a control stick?

How hard is it to understand? You hold the remote and nunchuck vertical and move them as you would the two control sticks. It is probably the best control setup for this game of any of the systems.

Have to agree with Matchles here.

Have any of you actually played a Wii game before? The lack of a spring to return it to it's neutral position just makes using it as the replacement to a joystick awkward. It'd be like that weirdass robot game in Wario Ware Smooth Moves for the whole thing.

"Have any of you actually played a Wii game before? The lack of a spring to return it to it's neutral position..."

roto13, have you *used* a Wii before? The analog controller on the nunchuk snaps back to neutral. What are you talking about?

Yep! use the two controllers like sticks to control a tank. I'm sure the developers will have come to the same conclusion.

"roto13, have you *used* a Wii before? The analog controller on the nunchuk snaps back to neutral. What are you talking about?"

That's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about holding the nunchuck and remote (or at least the remote) vertically like a control stick. It was awkward in Wario Ware, it would be awkward again here.

It's ok Roto13, i completely understand you... i don't understand what is with everyone else, what you're saying isn't that hard to comprehend.

First off, what was trying to be said was.. there is only ONE joystick between the nunchuck and wiimote, so unless you have a classic controller it's not going to work that way.

Second, he said if you had both the nunchuck and wiimote verticle, that because you would have to manually push the controllers up to be in neutral , it would suck..

ANd if anyone has ever played katamari, you'd know that when you want to stop, you want to stop. It's to quick for motion controlls like that and would only hinder you.

Plus, while i love the controllers and all, with JUST motion sensitivity, they aren't all that accurate you know. Have you ever played Wii Boxing? Or trying to use the saber in Gundam 0079? or tried to do a trick in Mario Kart Wii? While it works, it's by no means TOTALLY reading every milimeter of your movements.. or Star Wars Unleashed would have 1:1 movement to the saber.

My point is, you cant have a control set up like that as it would need a much more accurate controller, and it would feel clunky, and slow as going to neutral alone would be a challenge.

I totally agree with you roto.

THANK YOU! Someone gets what I'm talking about. xP

dammit

Beautiful katamari is shallow compared to we love katamari

they should port the first one over to wii, if not just because it was never released in europe.

It's fun for what it is. I have it for my PSP and it's a good portable fun time. I really enjoy it, and it's one of my favorite games for the system.

That being said it's not We Love Katamari, but I still had a blast with it, and the music was great. Graphics were pulled off nicely on the psp as well.
