Katamari Rolling Into Europe in '06
Proof that playing with your ball is a wonderful thing to be shared with everyone.
Namco and EA have revealed that they'll be bringing We Love Katamari, the sequel to the critically acclaimed Katamari Damacy, to Europe next year, thereby bringing to an end the cruel withholding of one of the most fun franchises of the past few years.
We Love Katamari is a quintessentially wacky Japanese game in which you roll around a ball that picks up all manner of household items and beings, growing ever larger as it gathers more stuff.
Forget about guns and explosions - this is all about wholesome fun.
"At last, the time has come for our fans in Europe to enjoy We Love Katamari," said Keita Takahashi, the game's Director at Namco. "I am so excited about this!"
"Basically, this is a silly game that doesn't involve a whole lot of thinking, but if you will just laugh and sing along as you roll, roll and roll, I'm sure you will find it to be a lot of fun."
The rollicking fun begins in 2006 on PlayStation 2.
