Pretty much, although I think the bulk of it was from the first two games. I'd be ok with a remaster of this and some new or additional levels included, but I really want is the first two games in HD. Hopefully on the Switch since I feel like Katamari would do really well on a Nintendo system and it's always been a bit of a headscratcher that Namco skipped the Wii and Wii U with the franchise.
Beautiful and Forever were both in development for Wii at different points. Just didn't work out.

I don't think I ever thought about it. Has it avoided all Nintendo platforms?
yeah. but i don't think it's a case of creator having platform preferences (since the creator was only involved in the first two PS2 games) or the publisher not wanting it to happen. it's a game that needs dual analogs to work (i have no idea how the psp one controls) so Wii and 3DS were out of the question, and Wii U was out of the question for everything.

It was on PSP though.

Keep in mind the premise of Katamari has you rolling a ball to gather things.

I think people are reaching a bit with the "reroll" subtext relating to gacha.

I think going back to old levels or old titles. We get to reroll the ball again.

The sort of rolling you do in a Katamari game is not the same as rolling dice like gambling.

Katamari Forever Remaster from Bluepoint would be perfect for me, but I'll accept any Katamari on PS4 tbh, unless it's something f2p iap loaded bullshit.

This sounds like a remake. In fact, Keita Takahashi tweeted about wanting Namco to make a remake of the first game (I know he's not working for them anymore, but still, he is the creator).

Katamari is one of my favorite franchises, so if this is an actual Katamari game and not a mobile title, I'm all-in.

First game is my favorite game of that generation. It's absolutely perfect.

Would love it on a current platform.

The only thing I occasionally plug in my PS2 for at this point is Katamari, so I'd be excited as hell to have it available on a modern platform.

I'll be happy as long as it's not mobile.


I'm cool with a new game featuring the original creator (who just changed his name and avatar to The King of All Cosmos on Twitter a few days ago......wait, was this going to be in the Direct?) or just a nice looking port of the original game.

What if it was going to be in the direct?! That Twitter thing would make more sense!

It'd be interesting to get a VR title. I'd like to try that.

Namco really does like VR. That'd be funny.

Please be a real game and not along the lines of their previous mobile offerings.

Plleeeeaaase be a collection of the console titles. Also the graphics in all the original games are perfectly charming as is so hopefully it's just a remaster/upscale with a higher framerate at most.

Reroll sounds way too close to a gacha for me to safely assume it'll actually be a console game...please I just want to play katamari without having to hook up my ps3 :(

Hoping for epic grade remaster package here. Still go back and complete the first one every other year or so.

the first two games are the ones that matter. takahashi stopped his involvement with the series after that, and everything after has been either bad, or just rehashing the first two games.
Oh I know, it was more of a question if it is a remaster, is it one game or both.

All I ask is for a new Katamari, specifically on Switch. Switch is just absolutely perfect for this game.

But I'll take a remaster, IDC. I just want MORE Katamari, that isn't some dumbed down money grab mobile game.

A remaster of the first two games in the series (easily the best as far as game design/level design/writing are concerned - Takahashi's influence was clearly missed in the later games) would be great (ideally with the soundtrack of both of them combined somehow, and maybe with some of the Me And My Katamari and Beautiful Katamari songs thrown in).
