Katamari Damacy was a budget release in the West, but I am fairly certain it was close to a full priced release in Japan. It was definitely more than $20. We <3 Katamari was like 4900 yen, sooo...

Framerate looks better than the trailer, but the textures don't seem like they've had any love, just merely upscaled. (I'm not talking about changing the style, just cleaner textures)

Some offscreen Switch footage



Looks good unlike the trailer


Thanks for that. Got worried at first when the Prince looked a bit "wider" then I remember, thinking that they just stretched it to make it widescreen, but after comparing to older footage I'm glad that that isn't the case. He does appear to just be a little wider but it is actual widescreen as well.

Now to just wait for it to go up for preorder on not gamestop.

Ok, so I searched everywhere but a physical copy of this game is nowhere to be found. I already assumed that we europeans will only get it as a digital game, but there isn't any american site to preorder it?

still wondering why it's 40 when it doesn't include the sequel

edit: ok 30 is more palatable. still strange the second isn't being remastered.

since it's gamestop exclusive that means no shop would bother importing it here. sad but digital is good enough for this game. the price seems fair too.
i REALLY hope this sells well and they port we love katamari too, as i haven't played that one on ps2 either.

This isn't true is it? We didn't even get the original game so Bamco could at least do the decent thing and give us the option to finally buy it physically.

Well, in the last Nintendo Direct, Katamari Damacy was announced this way

I could be wrong, but I think they only add the Nintendo eShop logo when the game is digital-only. That logo wasn't there in the US Direct.

However, it would not be the first time Bamco is wrong about formats.

The Swiss shop with the unfortunate name has it listed and it looks like a physical edition.

the steam page still isn't up. is it normal for games to not have a page like 4 days before release?

Hope the demo grabs a new audience for this fantastic, wonderful, incredible game!!!
the demo is pretty bad, i wish it was better because it really won't make newcomers very excited about the game. it's super short and doesn't explain the controls at all.

Still no Steam page or anything. What a low-key release, although I'm aware of the low-budget nature of the series.
