Noby Noby Boy is a PSN title

Noby Noby Boy (notice the subtle spelling change?) was at the Tokyo Game Show last week via an all-new trailer (posted after the break); however, we still weren't given a clear idea on what the game was all about. In fact, the teaser trailer only made things seem slightly more confusing than previously. Exactly what is Katamari creator Keita Takahashi doing with this PS3 exclusive? We've been wondering that for an entire year now.

While the trailer didn't give us much to work with, we still were able to get an NNB news bite to surface elsewhere. We refer to Sony's TGS press website listing Takahashi's new title as a downloadable PSN title. This may not come out as much of a surprise, judging from what little we've seen of NNB thus far -- which has been comprised mostly of simple designs. Takahashi's new IP sure does look interesting, but we're wondering why is it taking the game so long to actually reveal itself.

It is certainly weird... It a freaky kind of way...

From the look of it, it seems like this game could be made in LittleBigPlanet and would probably be a lot cooler.

What the freak happened to this game? Check out the original cool concept:

I hope this is not the new look...

I think something's lost in translation. I HOPE this game is just to promote the full Noby Noby. You're right, the concept is so different. This is a PS1 game atm.

well the faces are the same and the picture quality is way too good to be ps1 era.

Is this a joke? What happened?

This isn't what the real game looks like. There was a demo at TGS with people playing around with the real 3D version. They were stretching out noby noby boy and tripping up farm animals and stuff.

It's gonna be a great game.
