Yes, otherwise why even bother switching? I don't really care if they are cute or not.Quote:
What, did you want different attributes or something?

I'd rather Katmari/We <3 Katmari be a fond memory of two near-perfect games than worn out and degraded through sub-par sequels.

I think I remember seeing some interview with the creator saying that he wasn't going to make anymore Katamari's, and that the series was good where it was and there was no sense in making anymore.
That's exactly what I'm saying. I had plenty of fun with the first, but we don't need any more.Quote:

If the DS could handle a Katamari game, I'd kind of like to see one show up there, and then end the series for good.
He said that after the first game, but he was put into the position of "Either you make the sequel or we get someone else to do it." The creator was a very cool guy, he didn't even want to make videogames anymore IIRC, he wanted to make childrens playground equipment. Namco is just milking it dry now, very sad.Quote:

Everything else would be icing. As long as the soundtrack rocks. I could also just custom soundtrack from the original game, but yeah.
