Anyone trying to pitch a game to a Western publisher involving objects rolled into a ball would probably be laughed out of the room. Fortunately Japanese publishers are more open-minded or the brilliant Katamari games would never see the light of day. The latest sequel of the bizarre Japanese game, Touch My Katamari, is coming to the upcoming PlayStation Vita handheld.
Is it time for the King to retire, or is there still a need to go back to his colourful realm of magic?
The PlayStation Vita may be dead, but its library of great games is expansive. Here are the games every Vita gamer must own, in GameSpew's humble opinion.
I was quite surprised Tales of Hearts R wasn't on this list. Pretty great JRPG. Seemingly simple combat at first, but quite complex by the end. Especially if you do end game and Maniac or "Unknown" difficulty. I'm 2 trophies away from Platinuming it. Some of the most fun I've had on my Vita in the 4 years I've had it.
That's awesome that you're ripping through it. Fun game.
I'm tearing through the Danganronpa sequel right now for a change of pace!
Good games but what a horrible list. So many games should be on this list but aren't.
It may look all happy and cutesy at a glance, but when you actually consider Katamari's gameplay, it's actually rather dark. Very dark, in fact.
It maybe disturbing but it's fun as hell and why the Ps4 doesn't have one yet or a Noby Noby Boy 2 is beyond me.
Me too! Since writing this article I've had Katamari cravings so bad. Looks like I'll have to settle with Touch My Katamari on Vita for now. I'd even be happy with Backwards Compatibility for Beautiful Katamari on Xbox!
Katamari forever on ps3 is good too.. psp one as well.. ps2 both games are awesome too
