You and Your Katamari
See that? It’s as easy as altering a game’s title to make for a superlative, release-oriented headline.

Today’s release of Me and My Katamari may come as a double-edge sword. Sure, it’s a full-fledged version of the cult hit in portable form, but it may also be the first of many more Takahashi-less installments to roll our way. What? Baseless speculation? From us? No way, man! Haven’t you read that wonderfully investigative story of ours? We’re so onto something.
“We are extremely excited with how the Katamari series has evolved and progressed onto the PSP system,” said Yoshi Niki, Product Group Director at Namco Bandai Games America Inc. “Whether you are a fan of the Katamari series or just enjoy portable gaming, Me and My Katamari offers addictive gameplay and colorful graphics that will satisfy anyone’s on-the-go gaming cravings.”
And we’ll go ahead and back Yoshi up on that target crowd. As Katamari fans will love the customizable characters, island-themed interface and assortment of new cousins, portable junkies should totally dig the four-player Ad Hoc wireless play. We’ll make no such exceptions for the storyline, though, because if you can’t enjoy making islands for homeless animals, well, you’re just a heartless, heartless person. Who slaps babies.
Me and My Katamari should be making its final tumble to nationwide retail right this very instant. Now go, scamper off to your nearest store and cry to the poor cashier about how desperately you need your Katamari fix. They’re trained to deal with whiners like you.
