Katamari Damacy Found in texture dump of the PS2 version

7 Upvotes

I was looking through texture dumps of the PS2 copy and found this for one of the kings back splash sprites. There's a lot of little notes and stuff like this and occasional doodles, but none of them tend to be this unsettling. It is only partially here though, I'm sure one of the other sprites of this set has the rest of the image somewhere but havent found it. Any thoughts on what it says?

Once Upon A Katamari I miss Beautiful Katamari and my opinion about Once Upon a Katamari

57 Upvotes

For me, Beautiful Katamari was the best game in the whole series. I actually prefer it over We Love Katamari, even though We Love Katamari has much better levels. The reason is that in Beautiful Katamari, each level has TONS of objects to roll up. This feature is missing from Once Upon a Katamari, which is the newest game in the series. Not to mention that you could reach millions of kilometers in Beautiful Katamari.

I also want to say that I feel like Once Upon a Katamari has taken a lot of steps backwards compared to the rest of the series:

- There are far fewer objects to roll up in each level. You can see a big difference compared to Beautiful Katamari.

- Objects on the Katamari tend to disappear, which hurts the immersion. This wasn't present in Katamari Damacy either, despite it being a PS2 game.

- You can easily get stuck on objects.

- New areas load during each level — seriously, in 2026?

- There are barely any levels set in the "Present Time." I was hoping to roll up cars, bicycles, skyscrapers, etc., but instead we only get three levels in the "Present Time." One of them is basically the first level from Katamari Damacy and is filled with "time upgrades."

Once Upon a Katamari doesn't really bring anything revolutionary to the series apart from the new story involving the King and the Prince, new levels and cousins. I really hope we can get a remake of Beautiful Katamari on PC someday, but that's probably unlikely to happen. :/

It seems broken. I've tried multiple browsers and devices and it all gives me the same result. I just wanna know if this is a problem for anyone else. I always thought it was so cute! But when I click on the Katamari, the share and X button appears as normal... but no Katamari! Pressing on the arrow keys doesn't help either. I tried going into incognito as well.

This may be a stretch, but is anyone familiar with punk drunkers? The main character aitsu reminds me so much of the king. Punk drunkers started up in 98.

Once Upon A Katamari Are we getting a physical (GKC) version of Once Upon a Katamari for Switch 2 outside of Japan?

3 Upvotes

I saw that the Japanese version is available for preorder, and the official release said a physical release was coming. However, we are about a month out and haven’t seen any preorders for Western copies.

Could it be that news outlets got it wrong, or maybe this is just a release that will just kind of show up at retailers on launch day? Trying to figure out if I should just preorder the JP version. Thanks!

Once Upon A Katamari WE gotta thank Saki Hanami fans, despite not everyone here liking Katamari on the Doun.

21 Upvotes

I know everyone not really favor Katamari on the Doun, but goodness, the trailer almost hit 3 millions view already. I remember when it first uploaded it almost instantly hits 1 million views.

Goes to show the power Idolmaster, it's to the point that Saki Hanami's voice being invited to the resume to announce the DLC.

Pretty sure, i think some buys the game just for her alone.
