off topic!

This has nothing to do with us, but I wanted to point out a great interview with Katamari and Noby Noby Boy creator Keita Takahashi. I'm a big fan of Katamari and can't wait to play this bizarre new creation of his.

I thought this was hilarious:

Eurogamer: Did your bosses at Namco complain when you said you didn't want the game to have objectives?

Keita Takahashi: As my hierarchy only complains and only talks about the so-called "right things" to do when creating a game, I just tried not to care about what I was being told. To be honest, I don't really remember. But I was told something like "make it look more like a game", "make it easier to understand", "make it more accessible" I think.

Ha ha, so great.

Nintendo Power

Just a quick note, we have a two-page interview in the newest Nintendo Power (the one with the Indiana Jones cover). What luck!

IGN also has a couple of exclusive videos that were put up a week or so ago, so head over there if you want to see some more gameplay footage.

first video

We finally got some video recorded! We only got our capture card last week so this was done very quickly. When the game is about to launch we'll make a couple more trailers and take some more time creating them.

German gaming site GamingXP quickly put it up and have posted a direct download but I think you need to register first.

There's also some good-quality footage over at ign.
