Beautiful Katamari

[RPGD]

Namco has recently announced Beautiful Katamari is set to release for Wii on November 14. Details about the game have not been revealed, but it can only be assumed the game will take full advantage of the Wii’s unique control system. The game will retail for $29.99.

Beautiful Katamari will be the fourth installment of the critically acclaimed Katamari series. The game will also be heading to PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 17 for $39.99.

Well, how about that? I can imagine how annoyed the Katamari guy must be.

How appropriate for Katamari to find a home on the Wii!

I have no idea how this will work for the Wii.

Re: Beautiful Katamari

I dunno... I really liked the normal PS2 controls. I might rather play like that than some fancy Wii control scheme.

Re: Beautiful Katamari

I would imagine you would hold the wiimote horizontally with both hands and just rotate it according to the direction you wanted.

Re: Beautiful Katamari

i cant imagine this being as good as the ps2 katamaris but more power to them

or less power to the guy who only wanted one to begin with

Re: Beautiful Katamari

Actually, i can see this working better with SixAxis controls than i can with the Wii controller

Really? How so?

Re: Beautiful Katamari

I have no idea how this will work for the Wii.

Roll it, like you move your hands around an imaginary ball. Want to turn it? Roll with one hand. Want to turn around the ball? Use the analog stick.

The idea sounds tiresome, which is why I can agree with Jeroak on that point.

Re: Beautiful Katamari

I'm thinking it'd either be holding the Wiimote sideways which would have the same control scheme as whatever they'd do with SIXAXIS most likely. Or using the Wiimote and nunchuk like joysticks, it'd pretty much be like the PS2 controls but the joysticks are in your hands instead of under your thumbs.

I thought they were putting an end to the series.
