Another XBLA title $40 on Wii? :lol

God for the love of Gaming Nooooooooooooooooo!!!! Geo-wars is sounding pretty pricey as it is. Thats just wrong, but I wouldn't doubt that it would be a big hit sales wise. Turning a $5-$10 DLC game into a $40-$50 just by adding a couple things is a joke.

Oh yeah and didn't the producers say that it wasn't going to be a downloadable game is response to some website. They took it offensively or something like "Ohh no this is definitely not a DLC game it's going to be on a disc.

Then Shane was also talking smack about it and how it didn't look that great. Shane talks a lot of shit though.

sporadic hardware, what the ****s up with that termonology...wouldn't that suggest 360 since the console dies more....you mean scarce maybe?

The game would/will not sell anymore, or probably less on the 360 anyway....MS would not have specifically moneyhatted this title...just a number of titles from namco and this happens to be one...it would be pretty stupid to actually try and get this game specifically

Actually, according to the rumor, the X360 have nothing to do with PS3 losing the game, so i don't see why sales in 360 are the point..
The Wii version is responsible for that... And you can't argue against, because the Wii version is potentially more profitable than a PS3 version...

Yeah I didn't get the terminology. Anyway of all the titles to throw money at would ms really throw it at this game considering what their base tend to buy. Well so far anyway.

I'm very happy to see a new Katamari no matter what system it lands on.

Glad it made it to the next gen.

Didn't stop them from continuously moneyhatting other Japanese developers.

Those wii motion controls would fit this game perfectly.

Was just looking at Soutahouse's blog to see the latest Famitsu news, and it looks like this rumor is in fact true, and will probably show up in the weekly Japanese news thread. What a bunch of garbage.

Edit: Isnt it a coincidence that the PS3 version is MIA right after rumors pointed at MS moneyhatting the game?

lol ... imagine if MS is actually paying for money hats that allow Wii ports

AdmiralViscen · Jul 4, 2007

I think I'd rather control this game with analog sticks than the Wii remote.

Jonnyram · Jul 4, 2007

This news doesn't affect me as I was going to buy it on 360 regardless, but it is surely a blow to Sony - moneyhats or no. This is the kind of game that people always said MS lacked for their machines, and now they have it all to themselves. The balance has definitely shifted this generation, and anyone that continues to say "360 owners are not into this kind of game" is totally missing the point.

Hope the Wii version has classic controller support? It seems like the only way you'll be able to play it the old fashion way now, though a Wii version still hasn't been confirmed. Are the classic controller analog sticks even buttons? Previews say that the placement of the analog sticks on the 360 version don't make that much of a difference though, so hopefully it works.

PepsimanVsJoe · Jul 4, 2007

Really doesn't do me any good since I never liked Katamari in the first place.

Hell somebody could moneyhat Namco to make it a PepsimanVsJoe exclusive game and I'd still have zero interest in playing it.

Nintendo's never used the clickable sticks.

It's definitely a blow to Sony, no doubt about it - even if it is "just Katamari" (to quote some people). I don't like this trend. Hopefully E3 brings good news.

Maybe Beautiful Katamari 2 for PS3? :lol

That being said, the game will come out the same day as 4 FPS games and sell like shit, and that will be the end of Namco-Bandai and MS' wonderful relationship :lol

They're making a killing on XBLA titles, so I don't see that relationship souring any time soon.

jj984jj · Jul 4, 2007

lupin23rd is so full of shit, especially when it comes to the 360. :lol

Bandai-Namco started with RR6 at 360's launch but then they made Eternal Sonata, Idolmaster, and Ace Combat 6 all exclusively for the 360 as well, and now Beautiful Katamari is 360 exclusive. I believe Dynasty Warriors Gundam is confirmed to come out here in NA and in EU as well so Tekken is the only thing not confirmed for the 360. With the PS3 tanking as it is I don't see their "relationship" ending soon, next-gen on the PS3 is shaky and multi-platform or 360 is the way to go business wise.

Skilotonn · Jul 4, 2007

Well well, so it's true...

And again, I really doubt that MS paid for this, we all definitely know that they are spreading the variety in their catalog big time, but somehow I think this was all Namco themselves - I don't see MS paying for a title like this at all...

Like duckroll said, Namco seems to be enjoying it pretty well with MS, especially on XBLA with Pac-Man...

I wouldn't be suprised if they all knew each other/were the same person honestly, what with same mentality and the coincidence that they all have the number 23 in their names... but hey, it doesn't matter to me anyways...

So the rumors are (half) true at least. Don't think the PS3 will recover after losing this one.

Sony have to replace this game quick. I don't think they "need" Katamari Damacy, I don't think they need any game that's already had 2 or more versions on the PS2 and isn't a blockbuster. But they do need a similar quirky game that's "more next gen" then Katamari.

It's a shame they've hit development problems (and of course, sales issues) here with Katamari, but it won't be the be-all and end-all.

mrklaw · Jul 4, 2007

Doesn't make sense.

Why would they cancel the PS3 version "Because its too tricky to port from 360", yet do a wii version that they also can't port so have to 'reimagine'?

I don't buy the 'can't port'.

I also don't understand why Namco wouldn't do it for PS3. Sales is a stupid reason. If sales was the only reason, why bother with Ace Combat etc on 360 (least in Japan)? You don't just drop an entire platform because it came out of the gates slow.

Sure, add a wii sku, but do a PS3 one too.
