Whoa, had no idea the physical release was exclusive to Gamestop. I'll need to go reserve a copy tomorrow.
Damn, I was just there today picking up my copy of Toki.

Where does it say on the receipt? Or is that the new online/pick up in store thing?When I made my in-store pickup reservation the website said the 6th, but it says the 7th now so...who knows?
it should be, as they've said nothing about the game having a different release date in other regions. we'll see tomorrow, maybe they plan to just release it without making a coming-soon page for it. it's not on steam yet either.Is this getting released in Europe on the 7th? I can't find it anywhere on the eShop.
a meatboy situation isn't going to happen, this version has the same soundtrack as the original, and one of the reviews mentions that "the music is largely unchanged". all the music in the demo are from the original as well.I'm only worried about one thing, that the original songs have not been removed.
I don't want what happened in Super meatboy with audio licensing issues to reoccur
if WLK was included that would have been an AMAZING package. i just hope this sells enough that they consider rerolling that one too.Heck yeah, I'll play through this again. Shame they didn't bundle this and We Love Katamari together, but hopefully that gets remade down the line too. It's a good month for Switch. (This, Smash, Dragon Quest Builders 2)
it'll be released alongside the game
So I got the early access of Katamari Damacy REROLL and my first impression isn't very good. The controls and camera are horribly outdated, looks like they didn't touch them at all. Wish they'd use something simple like Super Monkey Ball, now it feels like rocket science to move where you want to. Also the game starts in low res window mode with super loud audio and you can't change settings until you complete the tutorial, but that's hopefully just an early access thing.
You have to go through the tutorial before you can fiddle with the resolution, so on a modern monitor you're stuck with a windowed display until then. I also couldn't switch to a controller until I got past the tutorial and the keyboard controls areā¦ quite something. I mean, for a speed boost you need to alternately tap W+K and S+I quickly. I do not advise using the keyboard controls.
yeah, i don't think anyone expected them to change those. this isn't a remake."The controls and camera are horribly outdated, looks like they didn't touch them at all."
Saying it like its a bad thing, whatever.
It's been on the JP eShop since November 21st
They simply can't embrace the sheer joy of rescuing this from imperfect emulation, seriously, I'm going to freak the fuck out!yeah, i don't think anyone expected them to change those. this isn't a remake.
Katamari Damacy REROLL |OT| Hoshino Family Drama Pt. 1Time to become KING OF THE COSMOS again!!!!!!! This is one of my all time favorites! So glad it's coming to Switch for anytime, anywhere pick up and play.
Soundtrack is one of the GOATs.
Edit: pretty good OT name, lol.
I preordered with GameStop already....but hold the phone.....there's motion controls!? Quoting this, also asking for impressions. Wondering if they're any good? I can see the control scheme being held like a sessions of ARMSā both joycon acting as vertical joysticks. Interesting...Any Switch motion controls impressions?
Great job with the thread cover btw OP!
thank you :)Any Switch motion controls impressions?
Great job with the thread cover btw OP!
it plays bad on PS2 emulators?They simply can't embrace the sheer joy of rescuing this from imperfect emulation, seriously, I'm going to freak the fuck out!
thank you :)
you can see kit and krysta playing with motion controls on the episode of nintendo minute they did about katamari
it's kinda like that, yeah. thankfully it's optional. i'll try them so see if they're any good, but i expect i'll go right back to dual analog controlsI preordered with GameStop already....but hold the phone.....there's motion controls!?

i posted two reviews in post #4. both for the pc version and both positive.

it's supposed to release everywhere, on both platforms, tomorrow. don't know why they haven't put up game pages on steam or european eshops yet, very weird.Is this coming out in Europe too? I don't see it on the eShop at all.
no switch reviews yet, no. it's the same game as the PC version so those reviews should give you a good idea about the game, and you can download the demo tomorrow to see how it runs on switch. i tried the demo from the japanese eshop and it ran perfectly fine, in both handheld and docked modes. you can watch this video if you want to see how much the visuals have improved in the switch version compared to the original game on PS2.
It's still listed as December 7th on Bandai Namco's European site, so presumably it will release tomorrow, but yeah, they're being very silent for a company publishing a game tomorrow. They haven't even mentioned it on Twitter since mid September.Is this coming out in Europe too? I don't see it on the eShop at all.
Katamari Damacy is in my top 3 favorite games of all time, so I'm buying this as soon as possible.
Will double dip if they release a PS4 version.
seriously tho, it's like if you were to publish your indie game on ps4/xbo on the same day as RDR2. just, like, don't do that.
doesn't seem like there's anti-aliasing. i enjoy it because the kinda-pixelated graphics work well with the pixelated textures, but that's just me.Is there any anti-aliasing on the switch version? The eshop screens look pretty rough.
that's very lame. don't know why they care so little about their own product. it's more weird when you consider that this is basically the game's debut in europe.They haven't even mentioned it on Twitter since mid September.
The solar system graphics (black sky and star signs) do not render properly. Small, minor annoyance... But it happens at the end of every level and during planet / mushroom navigation.

The day has come!
Thanks! Now I'm even more excited! š
