:They aren't specific enough, this early in development it would be unwise to put it in the meta data box as people are more inclined to take that as gospel instead of reading the text instead. - Spence. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.142.252.143 (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The first external link shows screenshots from the first game, and has very poor English. And pricing the game at $29.99/$39.99? I highly doubt they'd give us such a low price. Both of the links look kind of suspicious, and I haven't seen any mention of this from more reputable sources. As much as I'd like this to be true, I smell a false rumor. Are there any other sources of this? --Nintendorulez talk 18:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: From all I have read and can tell it's a very true release. First G4 talked about it in their news, on ther website and during one of their various shows. Other websites besides the orange lounge radio  that pulled it did talk about this story before and after the fact and continue to do so. GameSpot has something about them registering the name Beautiful Katamari as well as other games officialy registering them not to long ago with the copywrite offices. The Blockbuster Video computer showed the game as being an upcoming game for the Xbox 360. Namco asking for it to be pulled from Orange Lounge does not mean that it's not official. Most time companies don't want rumors and too much influence out there on something that they themselves haven't made 100% public yet. The site was generating a lot of attention and it's probably not the best to have your game microscoped and scooped before you are ready to have it officialy out there. Namco has not released a statement saying that the game isn't coming out. All they have said is no comment. And if the game wasn't real they would say that the rumors aren't true. Why would they want people to think they are making a game that isn't coming out ever? That wouldn't be the best move for a company to do. All I know is it's been mentioned and verified in a lot of places so far that are pretty reliable and Namco themselves only asked for that blurb to be removed from one site but has otherwise said that the game is coming out on all 3 systems. So I don't know how many sources you want to be placed here but I see more then enough that would verify that this game is coming out and official. My advice is to be patient and not make guesses on to why Namco had the story removed and any more news on the game that comes out we will place here. PantheraLeo 19:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've seen no proof this game is a hoax or anything. As for the pricing, if I recall correctly: the first 2 console Katamari games were cheaper than most games right from the start. The exception was the PSP Katamari game which was full price (which was a bit weird, considering it was a dumbed down Katamari handheld game with alot less content). RobJ1981 19:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's one of the bigger reasons I got a PS2, for the two Katamari games. It helped that they were so cheap, too. The prices here sound right. And I do agree that it is highly doubtful that the game is a false rumor. EDIT: I need to remember to sign my comments. Sorry. Lamename3000 04:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I think you start smaller than 1m, as in the gameplay video, when the guy was 1m43, there was 15min on the clock.  The important thing is that it looks like three quarters of the time had already expired by that point!  If he needed 45 minutes to get to 1m, then you must start a lot smaller than we've seen previously.Nagyss 02:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Who is Orange Lounge Radio and why should I care?  Any one blog or forum can post any unsubstantiated rumors, taken up by fanboys as a credible source, then posted on Wikipedia as a purported true statement.  That Namco requested a takedown does not validate the source; to say so would be speculation, something that is not permitted here.  I really look forward to the day this game comes out so we can delete all the reinterpretations and weaselly-worded fanboy tracts that pass for "history" in this article. White 720 17:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What are you complaining about? OLR is the place that first announced the game, that's substantial enough to stay in the article. Namco asked to remove the source for whatever reason, doesn't matter. The fact is, OLR was right, and the game is tangible, and that is why it is on Wikipedia. Quit complaining for whatever you are complaining about. LN3000 17:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But it's not coming out for the Wii until Namco says so. Please stop adding vaguely-worded statements to imply that Namco is considering a Wii release when none has been announced.  Namco said that Ace Combat 6 was Xbox 360-exclusive.  Namco did not say that Beautiful Katamari was or was not Xbox 360-exclusive.  Based on the lack of a specific denial, you can't confirm that there will be a release for your favorite game system.  Let's keep the fan-driven speculation out of this article. White 720 22:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I think you need to look up what "vandalism" means. White 720 23:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't understand why you feel your edit is appropriate. The way the article is currently is closer to the truth than what you are trying to force. Your version, technically, is wrong. Namco HAS commented about possibilities of a Wii version, and you really need to stop forcing me to revert your wrong edit. LN3000 02:09, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Stop edit warring. I think the next time I see it, I'm going to request protection. Use talk and discuss things: instead of edit warring by means of undo and/or reverts. RobJ1981 22:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I saw the Beautiful Katamari box art at the Namco booth at PAX 07 today: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jweill/1233814354 .  The box bears an "Only on Xbox 360" badge. White 720 02:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That satisfies me that it's 360-only; only issue is that that's not really a verifiable source in the article itself, but once the Amazon box is out, it'll do the same job. --Masem 02:46, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Box art is up at Amazon.  Uploading and replacing in infobox now. --Masem 02:47, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Really unfortunate. But it satisfies me now. I don't see why you guys couldn't wait for the official confirmation. Here it is, and so now everyone can be happy. Looks like I'll have to get a 360 eventually... LN3000 02:51, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Bummer. Alright then, I'll give in. Glad my roommate has a 360... — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 04:12, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What's the advantage to the user to have an XBox 360 exclusive release? Of course, the game might be expected to be more fun when it was designed to take advantage of one console's specific features. But is there any indication that this is the case here? I think not. Are you guys Microsoft shareholders? Or are you just happy to have some ammunition in the schoolyard console wars? --217.232.218.170 10:43, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Box art

message: You have put the 'Thingy Battle' as a new game type, however I believe who ever added that misread the article they sourced. The article said that the online component was new, not the 'Thingy Battle'. Also the 'Thingy Battle' already exists on We Love Katamari, though I am not sure if it goes by that name.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.221.185 (talk • contribs) 
:I looked at the N-B press release and you're right, they suggest that it's not so much that thingy battle is new, but the ability to play it online is, but it is not written exactly to spell that out.  I'll reword this. --Masem 13:13, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New game type

message: As was pointed out in the latest edit, it looks like Namco has re-added Wii and PS3 as systems for Beautiful Katamari.
http://www.namcobandaigames.com/games/beautifulkatamari/
Of course, I am very excited about this news, since Wii is my main/preferred platform. It is still listed as TBD, but this really puts a damper on the whole "Xbox 360 exclusive" thing. LN3000 08:26, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sigh. The Japanese site still just lists the 360; the American site shows all. I don't know what that means for this page, but I have a feeling there are going to be some edit battles. I would say that everyone should calm down and hold off on edit/reverts, and calmly and rationally discuss this. — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 13:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Even if this IS 100% verified for the PS3 and Wii, please don't go erasing the "ps3 and wii development" section.  This is good information to be used in a development section after the game is completely released, and is still appropriate.  Right now, I think we should be treating this as "ok, it seems official, but questions still remain", and the few changes I made hopefully reflect that. --Masem 14:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Heh. Have you seen the posts around here? Two lines is all it takes to set some people off... — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 16:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course. Gotta justify buying a $250 GameCube one way or another… White 720 16:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yeah, the Wii is merely a more expensive Gamecube. :rolleyes: I don't know what your problem is. Excuse me for liking the Wii, why don't you go back to playing the Xbox (insert random number here). LN3000 07:34, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
