Where To Find All Royal Presents In Katamari Damacy Reroll

Jamie Latour — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 20:16:20 GMT

The Prince has his work cut out for him in Katamari Damacy Reroll. Not only does he need to single-handedly replace all the stars in the sky that his idiot father destroyed, but he also has to listen to his dad ramble and passive-aggressively talk down to him. However, The King Of All Cosmos isn’t a total omnipotent jerk as he’s scattered special Royal Presents around Earth for The Prince to find. This doesn’t exactly make up for his awful behavior, but hey, it’s a start.

The 8 Strangest Games on Nintendo Switch

Kate Robinson — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 07:30:15 GMT

Nintendo's long and prestigious legacy in the gaming space has come as a result of creative choices, helping the company's games and consoles stand out from the crowd. Despite targeting a broad gaming audience, hit titles from decades-long franchises such as Mario, Kirby, and The Legend of Zelda have successfully reinvented their formulas on the Switch.

10 Weird Japanese Games Worth Trying

Sultan Uz Zaman Makhdoom — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 20:45:16 GMT

When it comes to weird cultural rifts regarding video games, nothing fits the bill quite like what Japan brings to the table with its own customs and traditions that resonate through its media offerings. The island nation is unique and celebrates its heritage with pride, especially when it comes to video games.

Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn And We Love Katamari Reroll Trademarked By Bandai Namco

Joshua Robertson — Wed, 07 Dec 2022 20:46:06 GMT

Bandai Namco is a publisher that has its fingers in all sorts of pies at the moment. Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Tekken, and The Dark Pictures series are just a few of the big-name franchises it helps/has helped publish, so it's a company that definitely keeps itself busy. Even with all of that, it might have two other big projects currently in development, as Bandai Namco recently trademarked both Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn and We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie in Europe.

Five Other Cosplays I Hope Dave Bautista Has Tucked Away In His Cupboard

Jade King — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 18:00:13 GMT

Dave Bautista really loves Gears of War. He’s already been added to Gears 5 as a playable character, but with news of Netflix revving up the adaptation engine, the animal has stepped into the ring once again to prove he is the perfect man to portray Marcus Fenix.

Katamari Damacy Is A Horror In Disguise

James Troughton — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 16:00:13 GMT

Bright colours, upbeat music, quirky gods, and collectables. Katamari Damacy is a cutesy fun time, right? Wrong. It’s all about causing a planet-wide avalanche that devours everything in sight, picking up people and buildings and throwing them to the side like a sentient tornado whose one goal is to horde humanity’s belongings until there’s nothing left. I can picture it now, a Cloverfield-like human perspective where people run to the subway tunnels so they can hide from the little green alien ripping their cities apart senselessly. It’s terrifying.

What It Would Be Like To Make A Katamari In Real Life?

Chris Sanfilippo — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 16:30:13 GMT

Katamari Damacy is one of those video games so creative it's a wonder it even exists. After all, who would have thought a game about rolling random objects into a ball would gain such a vast audience?

Game Series We Wish They Had A Racing Game

Leah Isobel — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 16:31:12 GMT

If you're a beloved video game character, you know that you've made it to the upper echelon of fame if you get a racing spinoff. It seems like every series worth its salt gets its due in a racing game eventually, whether it's a classic like Mario Kart or a cheap cash-in like... most other racing spinoffs.

The 9 Most Whimsical Areas In Video Game History

Dan Christmann — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 14:05:14 GMT

Video games can transport you anywhere that you can imagine. From a land filled with corrupted undead to one inhabited by platforming meat cubes, their only limit is a game developer’s imagination and budget. More often than not, though, these worlds seem to be dark reflections of our own, allowing them to tell stories of desperation and violence.

The Friendliest Aliens In Video Games

Jeremy Hanna — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 01:30:13 GMT

If there's one thing video games have taught players it's that aliens are scary. Necromorphs, Xenomorphs, and The Flood are just some of the terrifying creatures that exist beyond our solar system that want to murder, abduct, or both. But in a universe filled with infinite possibilities, there's gotta be some nice aliens out there, right?

10 Most Unique Video Game Character Designs Of All Time, Ranked

Nico Dagny — Mon, 11 Jul 2022 13:30:14 GMT

Characters are at the heart of the game, and essentially they're what keeps everything together, inspiring players to return. Unfortunately, in recent years many triple-A titles have stuck by the same formula of making characters look as realistic as possible, often at the cost of removing all their individuality. It's why games with such out-there character designs are worth mentioning.

10 Video Game Series That Need To Be On The Playdate

Kyle Chamaillard — Thu, 19 May 2022 01:30:13 GMT

When Panic Inc. announced that it was working on a new handheld console back in 2019, it immediately caught the attention of many due to its simple design and potential for developers. The company was founded in 1997 and mostly worked on software for Apple products before entering the world of video game publication in 2016. After publishing only two games, the well-received Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game, Panic conceived an idea for the Playdate and shifted its focus onto its development.

These Games Justify Upgrading To A Switch OLED

Andy Kelly — Mon, 16 May 2022 14:02:13 GMT

Back in January I wrote about upgrading from a Switch Lite to a Switch OLED and the staggering difference between the two. The bigger screen, sharper display, richer colours, deeper blacks, and sturdy kickstand make this by far the best version of Nintendo's hybrid console. Five months later and I'm still in love with it—and continuing to discover games that make that vivid, pin-sharp display sing. Here are a few personal highlights that have, for me, more than justified the cost of the upgrade.

TheGamer's Best Features Of The Week: Weed Day, Picard, And Billie Eilish In The Simpsons

Happy Friday, folks! That's right, it's that time of the week again where we take a look back at TheGamer's best features of the week. What do you mean we usually post this on a Thursday? Blame 4/20.

Happy Weed Day, Here Are The Best Games To Play While You’re Stoned

Jade King — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 16:14:58 GMT

Gaming and marijuana are a match made in heaven. Like Mountain Dew, Doritos, or anime body pillows, weed is one of the many things that forms a perfect pairing with games. I have a brother who exists to work, game, eat, and get stoned. Part of me admires his simplistic approach towards life, not letting things get on top of him so long as the end of the day means he can get blazed and dive into Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. We stan.

7 Gaming Protagonists That Should Stick To Their Day Job

Matt Arnold — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 01:30:13 GMT

Most video game heroes find themselves in situations that match their job description. With no shortage of knights, bounty hunters, and space marines for players to guide, adventure is all in a day's work. Even games like Stardew Valley that focus on more mundane tasks are led by characters who belong in the role.

We Forgive You, King! The Most Evil Characters Fans Sided With Because They Looked Cool

James Kennedy — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 01:30:13 GMT

Ever since Dragon Ball Z's Vegeta destroyed an entire planet for literally no reason (other than wanting to be a total dick), only to become everyone’s favorite “anti-hero”, it has become pretty clear that people in the geek space can have a pretty selective memory. This stuff is all over the media we love too. From Venom to the Joker to Negan, sometimes being cool is all that fans need to forgive horrific behavior.Related: Most Intimidating RPG AntagonistsThis has never been more true than in video games. Games love to introduce “badass” anti-heroes. These characters commit horrific crimes and rack up body counts only to later "repent" and join the heroes. Hell, sometimes, even the characters who have zero redemptive qualities end up being the most popular representatives of their games. It can’t be said enough, there is something unhealthy about the number of avatars online that feature characters who have been responsible for genocidal acts. As a community, we are not okay.Warning: Persona 5 Spoiler Contained Within

Shockingly Bizarre Video Games That Somehow Made It To The Public

Stephanie Minor — Sat, 23 Jan 2021 21:46:43 GMT

I’m all for bizarre games. There are some crazy, mind-bending games out there, such as Eternal Darkness, a GameCube game in which you lose your sanity and start to see that the game is deleting save files and restarting the GameCube, among other things. Another fantastically bizarre game would be Amnesia, where you play as a character who basically starts to become insane through the darkness, and you begin to experience different types of hallucinations.

Katamari Damacy Is Getting A Physical Release On PS4 and Xbox One

Jose Nateras — Wed, 23 Sep 2020 16:22:09 GMT

Originally released in 2004, the Japanese third-person puzzle-action video game Katamari Damacy, went on to become quite the sleeper hit, leading to a series of successful sequels. The first game was eventually followed by an HD remaster called Katamari Damacy Reroll for PCs and the Nintendo Switch back in 2018 and now, it looks like a physical release of the remastered game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is on its way.

Peter Glagowski — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 16:15:11 GMT

There Was A Katamari MMO (And Boy, Was It Weird)

Jamie Latour — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 21:24:10 GMT

There are less than a handful of games as strange as Katamari Damacy. Everything from its story - which involves the omnipotent King Of All Cosmos destroying the galaxy in a drunken stupor - to its art style to its gameplay is straight out of some acid-tripping weeb's fever dream. Yet, for all its offbeat imagery, the game has persevered as a beloved video oddity. It has even inspired an entire franchise of equally bizarre experiences. To date, there are around 14 different Katamari titles, including remakes, portable games, and even mobile games like the suggestively titled Touch My Katamari.

Wattam Review PC

Jamie Latour — Sat, 21 Dec 2019 14:15:12 GMT

Keita Takahashi already has a pretty wild track record. He's the man who somehow conceived the insane worlds of Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy. Both these games specialize in adorable yet bonkers realities where the King Of The Cosmos can force his diminutive son to reassemble the stars after his drunken bender destroyed them, or a worm-like Girl can stretch across the entire galaxy.

Do Gamers Really Want Art?

Calen Nakash — Wed, 13 Nov 2019 18:46:34 GMT

With games as art being used as a talking point in the mainstream media these days, it's important to ask the question whether gamers actually want that. Saying that a hobby is a form of art gives that hobby authenticity, and is often used as a talking point. However, games that call themselves "art" often don't do as well as their more basic counterparts. Call of Duty can put out release after release and gamers will buy it up, but artistic games struggle if they try something too outside of the box.
