Good luck getting past stage 4. Holy Christ.

(There are other ports available besides Windows. Check Google as necessary.)

Wow.

There are times that I love the internet. This is one of those times.

Yes, it is an awesome, awesome game, although I have to say that rRootage is still my favorite. I love Kenta Cho's games, pure quality. He just came out with a new one entitled 'Torus Trooper', as well.

this game looks cool and crazy.

so i know nothing about the japanese language, but does katamari mean "stick to it like glue" or something?

[davidbrit2]

I believe it means something like clump of stuff, wad, etc.

[delafro]

According to my Canon Wordtank "katamari" means lump.

Wait a sec...they ported Noiz2sa to the DC? Gaah, I'm soo behind the time.

[ddockery]

Nevermind, I somehow unziped it w/o the dir structure, works great now. These games are dying for a huge DC compilation disc.

[klausien]

The DC version of Noiz2sa is available for free on any of the DC homebrew sites. Just use Dir2Boot to create a selfboot iso.

The PC version is better, but it is very cool to play it on the TV through my DC. I actually play it more now because all of the Kenta Cho games have issues on my XP PC.

I'm bumping this one. Not sure how I missed this thread orignally. This one is on Retro Gamers cover disc this month (which is as good a reason as any to subscribe, since the disc is filled COMPLETELY with freeware/shareware shooters). This game is awesome. It is too hard in spots, certainly, but don't let that stop you. Just the idea of latching onto other ships Katamari style should be enough to hook you and keep playing.

If you missed this thread like I did, download this one now.
