A recent issue of Famitsu has confirmed one of the gaming industry's worst kept secrets. That's right, Beautiful Katamari Damacy is headed to the Xbox 360 and PS3 (here are the scans to prove it). Long rumored via rental and retail listings Beautiful Katamari Damacy will be the first iteration of the series to roll onto a Microsoft platform. The controls will remain true to the PS2 originals and Famitsu reports that the katamaris (the giant junk ball pictured above) can reach heights of over 10,000 kilometers. Also planned for the game is some kind of online play, though no specific details have been confirmed. Beautiful Katamari Damacy is reportedly 50% complete, with no release date announced at this time.

What I've always loved about Katamari Damashii is the music, and unless the creator was responsible for the musical selection of the game, I don't sense a problem with them making one without him. The game wasn't exactly highly narrative (You are a prince, your dad drunkenly destroys the cosmos, and you have to fix it) so it's not as if his masterwork was in the story of the game. His is a style that can easily be reproduced, since it's mostly rolling over very Japanese things (rice, sake, chevrons, sumo wrestlers etc). I'm looking forward to this. (Oh and the creator lost any sympathy he might have gotten by saying he was bored of Katamari and was moving on)
