Yet more Katamari Damacy

Saturday, August 28, 2004 » gaming update

It appears, to my great relief, that the oft-mentioned (by me) Katamari Damacy is retaining its original name for its American release. This is based on a recent Gamespot preview that sports a romanized version of the logo which I can't remember ever seeing on the Japanese Website. Also, considering the September 21st release date that several sites have reported, it seems pretty late for Namco to go changing the title around.

It's a relief because I was expecting the game to show up over here with some horrendous Americanized title, like Soulclumpers or Drakengard, for example.

I should also mention that the official site also has some new wallpapers (probably in preparation for the upcoming sequel), including some wonderful takes on the original box art that look like they were painted on canvas. If you can't find the download section, it's the one where the navigation menu is flipping you off. (Seriously, go look.)
