Is There a New Katamari Game Rolling Out?

Bada badadadadada daaaaaaaa! It could be time once again for more uniquely quirky Katamari madness as Namco Bandai has registered a couple of trademarks for Katamari Amore in Europe and Katamari Amore Rolling Whopper, Silconera reports.

The most recent entry in the roll 'em up series was Katamari Forever on PS3 in 2009 and the only Katamari title to hit Xbox 360 was Beautiful Katamari in 2007, so it's about time another Katamari game dropped soon, don't you think?

Namco Bandai has also filed a trademark for 'Time Trip', alongside 'Have a nice trip', which Siliconera speculates could be a tag line. We'll wait and see what happens with that one.

  • looks nutty
  • :D That is all
  • not interested myself... but my wife and brother will be going nuts.
  • I skipped Beautiful Katamari because I was told by a friend that you essentially had to buy DLC to get all of the achievements. I'm not sure how much I believe that, but it makes me wary all the same. Just as long as Namco don't try to make us pay through the nose for any content like the did with it's predecessor and Ace Combat, I may well finally take the plunge.
  • Best news this week , and its only Monday. 4: Youre on the internet, no need to listen to your freinds. Find out yourself.
  • OMG I love Katamari ! A new release this year would just be awesome !
  • Oh please let this be!
  • @ 6 OMG I love Katamari ! would be an excellent title. Get it drafted.
  • Great! But I hope it'll be better than Beautiful Katamari. That was the worst title in the series (Besides the very bad iphone katamari-game...)
  • I'm excited (=
  • Why do I fear this will be another ps3 exclusive?
  • Hope this is gonna be on xbox. I love katamari SO much! Such a happy game!
  • Kinect game please with the ability to still run it with a controller. The last one was a fun time.
  • Finally. Due for a new Katamari game.
  • Sweet action, hope it happens! I can never get enough Katamari. A 3DS version would be even sweeter....
  • wicked. love this series :D
  • :D:D:D:D I hope so
  • I loved Beautiful Katamari. It was a fun and entertaining game so I will be getting this for sure.
  • I really hope so. My whole family loved it.
  • I liked Beautiful Katamari so much. Even though I played it for a very short time only. Because it made me sick. Literally. All that turning around nearly made me throw up with motion sickness.
  • Who wants to spend $60 to roll around? I DO DO! (Not) lol I just never got into this game. Friend showed it to me and I had to go poop. Greatest poop ever.
  • @21 oh you are HILARIOUS! (Not)
  • Have a nice trip ... see you next fall? Next Fall? Is that a potential hint at a release date?! I feel like I just cracked the Da Vinci Code.
  • ahh, more katamari fun, that's awesome ! :D
  • I hope the game has 'Katamari on the swing', I f*ckin love that song! :D
  • @4: it's true about having to buy the dlc to get all the achievements. and to boot the dlc is already on disc, you're only buying an unlock key.
  • @ 22 - Get a sense of humor. And not to toot my own horn, which I do like to do in my private time, but people tend to think I am. I do. That's what's important. *hugs*
  • Katamari! yes please!
  • @27 yeah poop and masturbation what more could one want in a sense of humor (/sarcasm) I LOVE KATAMARI!!! i'm so glad that there will be a new one. Despite all the negativity towards it i still love Beautiful Katamari and play it all the time. As for the achievements, the only ones you need the DLC for are the extra 250. The base 1000 is gettable without the DLC.
  • FINALLY !!! Can't wait!
  • Thread writer forgot to mention I Love Katamari, which was released on the WP7 a couple of weeks ago. Love love love everything Katamari! This better is true!!!! :-)
  • @ 29 - Never knocked the game. Just not for me. And I don't think your sarcasm would've been noticeable without the mention. Wait for it...nah, you get it.
  • Cool, I love Katamari!
  • As much as I love katamari and hate playstation the ps2 version is still the best. But....day one buy for me!
  • Please be for Xbox... And, a bit better than Beautiful Katamari because that just seemed to not have as much personality as Katamari Damacy and We
  • @32 And yet another amazing comment by the biggest douche on Xbox360Achievements.org
  • DO WANT!!!
  • @ 36 - I resent that unless I can get it in a plaque. Try actually talking to me isntead of calling me names. Nobody on here likes someone with an opinion. Whodathunk? {---unphased
  • Been a fan since the original. can't wait!
  • oh jesus YES
  • Beautiful Kamatamari is my second favourite 360 game (after Deadly Premonition), so this is very exciting, but I cannot help but feel that this will be a PS3 exclusive. I don't think that Beautiful sold that well outside of Japan, and we all know the fate of the 360 in that country. Such a shame, but I will have evrything crossed regardless! A really lovely game, and one of the few enjoyable online experiences that I have had on the 360... not many haters on that one!
  • i remember playing a demo of the older katamari game, it was weird as hell
  • Nice, hope it's multi-platform though.
  • Good grief, YESSS! I absolutely love Katamari! This better have been worth the wait...eh, of course it is, it's Katamari..
  • Well, Keita Takahashi has claimed that he will not be helming any more of the games, so we'll see how a new one gels with the old ones... Unfortunately, Katamari Forever wasn't technically a new game, it was virtually every level from the games before it (with exceptions of most of the levels from the 1st game and Me & My Katamari on the PSP). In fact, I think Katamari Forever only had 1 new level... Granted it has new modes not included in the other games, but the levels are pretty much identical. I look forward to any game in this series, but I hope it's all-new this time...
  • YES please! I started playing Beautiful Katamari again just last week and fell for it all over again. Hopefully Mr. Takahashi came back to his senses and launches another rolling fun!
  • Surely it can only be a matter of time? Have had to ditch my PSP due to hardware problems, so looking for another burst of Katamari madness from somewhere after Beautiful.
  • Katamari owns! I'm so pumped!
  • All you people who think Katamari was $60, it was $40 when it first came out. DLC actually added a lot of content and was well worth it, for those that wanted to pay full price. @4 and 21.
  • Reeeeeally hope so!! :)
