Not as good as the original but still pretty out there.
Who would have thought of putting your company HQ on the sleeve of a game....

interesting, i guess. it'd probably take me a while to figure out it's a katamari game though if you hadn't told me it was for the game

btw, it looks like MSRP is gonna be $29.99 in the states

That box owns all over the place. Reading all the little signs is awesome.

Maybe Capcom should change the killer 7 box art to Kaede Smith bleeding on the building.

The more I look at it, the more I smile.

Really, I have not ever seen a box art capture the spirit of a game so perfectly.

Jesus whoever thought of that is a giant among men.

Not really. The first one was Japanese through-and-through and it didnt stop it from being successful in the US. I think they could leave this as is and just change the logo to be in English (but even leave the signs) and it be completely fine. It still has the Prince on it and the cow.. the identifying marks are pretty clear.

By the way, the cover fucking ruuuuules. Probably my favorite in years, maybe ever.

The person in the black shirt? Looks like s/he's doing the "#1" or the Chang Sing salute from Big Trouble In Little China...

Hmm. I can't say it beats out the simplicity of the original cover, but it still is awesome. Very, very awesome.

After seeing this, I really want to see what the OST's cover design is. If it's anything near as good as Katamari Fortissimo Damashii's cover, I'll be in heaven.

He's such a star, I can't believe you missed him! BUY IT!!! You won't be disappointed. There are a lot of Japanese voice talent that will most likely appear in the Japanese version only... some you may know, some you may not.

nb: Mr.Namco is right next to Ouji, right above the CERO sticker.

Now that's a great cover. Especially the king on the windows, and the giraffe on the roof. Ha, so random, it's marvelous.

Just watched the trailer.

I love Dokaka's all-vocal cover of the Katamari Damacy theme song.

Any Japanese readers glean anything interesting from the video?

If Namco Hometek so much as touches this boxart (outside of maybe asking an intern to photoshop the game's name onto the signs, or replacing the Japanese lettering with English), I'm going to.....be very, very mad. The photo-for-cover is BRILLIANT.

Wow. It's a picture of people standing outside the Namco office building, holding up signs. That's a terrible boxart. They weren't even trying. Looks like it payed off, though. Everybody seems to think it's "quirky" and "original". Awful cover.
