Snapshot: Touch My Katamari
There are so many games out there we couldn’t possibly review them all. Welcome to Snapshot, where we tell you about games that might fall outside our usual coverage but are still something we think you should know about. Today: Touch My Katamari for the PlayStation Vita. Touch My Katamari is the best portable Katamari ever made by default. The reason is clear: the PlayStation Vita has two analog sticks, and it is therefore possible to play with the proper controls that the King of All Cosmos intended. Other portable Katamari games don’t count.
Playing Katamari Damacy on a handheld system feels … so right. I can roll around in a surreal, fantasyland Japan for two minutes, pause the system, and get back to what I’m doing. I can absentmindedly amass darumas, cow pylons and automobiles while I’m watching TV.
Even putting aside the portability, Touch My Katamari is a legitimately good Katamari game. Not the best Katamari game — Namco can never top the work of creator Keita Takahashi, especially if it continually reuses old levels — but a good one.
