(4/26/05) Yes,
We Do Love Katamari As
I read on Gamespot,
We Love Katamari (or known as Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy in
Japan), or Katamari Damacy 2, as we all might think of it, is coming
to the US. Well, I should say a localized version is coming. I mean
it's safe to say that this game would be imported like few others if
it was not localized for the US, but now we know for sure that an
American release is in the works. Unfortunately, there is no release
date beyond being stated that it will be here by the end of this
year. It still might not be enough to curb importing of the game
since the Japanese version comes along in only about two and a half
months. The
game will feature many of the old game play mechanics of Katamari
Damacy, but with a few twists. First off, the levels sound like
they'll include far more variation (I'm sure anyone who played the
original noticed that each city around the world looked almost
identical in KD), ranging from race tracks to zoos to classrooms.
Also, the two player game has been greatly expanded upon. The normal
fight mode will be evolved to something that is being rather
enigmatically described for now. Also, there will be a co-op mode in
which two players will control the same Katamari in a normal level.
This means that each player will have to work together to achieve
the largest potential. I
don't think I need to say it, but this game will possibly be one of
the best games of the year when it finally is released. Malik
