    Default Katamari Damacy (future rare title?)

    I know that this game was brought up a few times in other threads, recently in TheRedEye's EB thread and my own thread from E3 back in May. Even our long-winded( ) friend EdOscuro mentioned it a while back. Might even have the possibility of being a Rez-like title; i.e. fun but hard to find.

    This game is out next Wednesday. Who's getting it? I'd say that there's no excuse not to get it, especially since it's only $20. It's been getting great reviews, both print and online.

    I'd like to get it...and it'll probably be hard to find. I can't imagine it selling well.

    Anything with a japanese title tends not to sell well lol.

    Anybody know what it means?

    I have mine preordered, because I doubt our store would get any otherwise.

    I sure am. I was under the impression it woul be Jap only and considered importing it but now I'm really gonna get since it's way cheaper and in English. Yay!

    Japanese fruitiness = GOOD.

    I'd like to get it, but not anytime soon. Still no US PS2 for me. Hopefully it won't get rare right away, which I think is unlikely anyway because it's not going to create the type of demand to created high prices until probably after the PS2 is dead (if ever, that is).

    I've played it.... it's great fun and wacky too. I'd say don't worry about rarity, just pick it up b/c it's fun. I could see this as a sleeper game that picks up in interest as the years go by though.

    My copy's already reserved! Comes out the 22nd, same day as Mega Man X command mission, a game that I''ve been dying to play. That's gonna be an awesome day!

    It'll be mine, and at best its going to be a sleeper like Guitaroo Man. A title that is seen as pure kick ass, yet there just arnt alot of copies floating around.

    I think that Sony has gone and dropped its licensing fees again, so that more comanies are now going to be willing to release these quirky games. Just look at the new GunGrave:OverDose, released by Mastiff for 15 bucks. Hopefully the production companies are going to now take the risk and bring some of the better quirky stuff over, just do a quick localization and ship the sucker.

    And Disgaea is still rare. No one can keep it in stock even after 2 reprints. Its a game that will hold its value, unless it drops to a GH title. So compare it to another game by the same development team and know it will be just as rare asnd desirable as La Puccelle Tactics is, sound better?

    And yes, it looks very interesting and all the more tempting at the $20 price point.

    I guess, all i was trying to say was that disgaea was not the niche game everyone thought it would be. Maybe it's true that it's hard to find (i personally see it all the time), but it can be had cheap at most stores now. Grant if you can find a copy.

    True, No it was one of those niche games like FF: Tactics that when people actually played they realised that it was incredibly good. Looking at that one, it held a huge value until Square GH'd the game. It is around some (Disgaea) but it still borders on that hard to find/sells for close to retail used kinda thing. [back to topic]

    If they keep the release low, this will just build a solid value as the PS2 comes to an end.

    I'll buy that for a dollar! Or Twenty as thats the SGR.

    Disgaea a "rare" game? Local gamecrazy has had 7 of the same 8 copies sense it came out. I bought the one copy that sold. Still at the 50$ price though. Its somewhat surprising how everyone keeps saying its a hard to find game.

    I'm going to pre-order it along with DDR Extreme that comes out the same day. When I first heard about it, the FIRST thing that came to my mind was 'Wow, this game is going to be sweet, and get rare VERY quickly'. I think I'm going to preorder them tomorrow.

    Well, just got mine, sadley I'm at work and dying to get off and play. The packaging is really nice, I love its simplicity.

    I noticed the top sticker said "Katamari Damashi" instead of "Damacy", that's odd, but oh well, not the first time it's happened.

    Anyone else get it today? if so, what's your impression?

    That's what it was called in Japan. I have no freaking clue why they bastardized the name for US consumption.

    I shall contribute to this thread with gameplay impressions later this evening.

    I think I'm going to pick it up today, it either that or X-Men Legends. And since I doubt Legends will be hard to find later on it will most likely be Damasy.
