Namco Bandai rolls up three new Katamaris?

Katamari!



The Katamari universe has been quiet lately. After the King of All Cosmos and the Royal Family have taken a much needed vacation in Me & My Katamari, everyone thought that we've seen the last of this bizarre and uniquely addictive game. But how sure are we of this? We just might get, not only one sequel, but three!

Good thing 1Up was able to rake in some info on some trademarks that Namco Bandai have registered. Last August 22, they filed trademarks for "Beautiful Katamari Damacy" and "Katamari Damacy Tres Bien". Then on September 7, they filed for "Katamari Damacy-kun". Are you rubbing your chin in deep thought yet? Does this mean we're going to see new games in the Katamari series?

Considering that their most previous game, Me & My Katamari, was released for the PSP early this year in the U.S., what reason would they have to register these new trademarks after all the Katamari hype, unless they wanted to expand their franchise? If it's a new game, who knows? Y'know, they might have registered these trademarks because they wanted to establish some fan clubs or something - a TV show, a series of books, a real-life Katamari playground, anything!

But if we were to think of the possibility of a game, we're going out on a limb here. For what console could it be? What with the SIXAXIS motion-sensing functions, Namco Bandai could even be eyeing a sequel that'll roll its way onto the PS3. The SIXAXIS would be a keen tool to help you roll that Katamari ball around!

But all this is mere speculation - a What If situation. So stop and think about it for a second. Could this be it?

Next-gen Katamari will be insane. Can't wait to find out more news on this and if they have to use the SIXAXIS if they make this.

I heard that "Me & My Katmari " on the psp was the last installment in the series, but if this article is true then this is great news. I love the Katamari games, I'd definetely shoot at the chance to get all three. :D

I'd really like to see this on wii as well... whilst playing the PSP version I daydreamed for a few minutes on how well this would work w/ a Wii-mote.
