Two things surprise us about Namco Bandai's announced Tokyo Game Show lineup: the complete dearth of
Katamari titles and, coincidentally, the inclusion of
Katamari creator Keita Takahashi's
Nobi Nobi Boy for PlayStation 3, a title we haven't heard about
since October 2007. According to the publisher (via
Siliconera), the game (the title literally translates to "Stretch Stretch Boy") will be shown in video form only, a bit surprising considering the playable prototype that appeared last year at GameCity.
Namco Bandai's lineup includes 29 titles, including
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm and the multiplatform
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2. Interestingly, the publisher is also showing off four PlayStation 2 titles, edging out Sony's support of PS2 at this TGS by a margin of 4 to 0.
