The story of Katamari Damacy is one of the most surprising successes in Namco’s history. A budget import title becomes a cult hit and leads to nine sequels and spin-offs, including the Vita launch title Touch My Katamari. There hasn’t been much evolution in this beloved franchise, but Touch My Katamari makes a strong debut on Sony’s new handheld, proving that the series has a lot of life left.
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
"In this interview conducted during MAGFest 13 in National Harbor, Maryland, Miyake and Yano discuss their work on the music of Katamari Damacy while also explaining how they got their start in the videogame industry." - Patrick Kulikowski
this will be my first game on Vita and my major reason to own a Vita at the moment
