General Fuzzy McBitty Posted August 5, 2005 Far less cool than the original. Though my GF says, "Awww, cute." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted August 5, 2005 As Chris has pointed out to me, the korean one is super hardcore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Posted August 5, 2005 And I guess just for the sake of completeness, here's the Japanese one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted August 5, 2005 I was really hoping we'd get a photo of the exterior of the US Namco building with the staff outside and a guy in the prince costume for the US box art. It would have been pretty great, and gone well with the theme implied in the name. Instead, purple gnome hat house possibly done in ClarisWorks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted August 5, 2005 Damn, that cover sucks. I'm still going to buy the game, of course, as will most people who played the original, but I'm expecting that this one will have a hell of a lot less casual buyers than the first one did. Pity.

General Fuzzy McBitty Posted August 5, 2005 Someone needs to call them and tell them that the US cover art should be like the Japanese one. That'd be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dingo Chavez Posted August 5, 2005 I think it's very cute, and it'll definitely standout when you see all of the usual army box"arts". Shame that it's not hardcore like the Japanese one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Fuzzy McBitty Posted August 5, 2005 My only beef is that I think someone could have made it in MS Paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knar Posted August 6, 2005 Holy Crap! We should have an Idlethumbs contest to see who can do the best US Katamari box cover! And it's because we all love Katamari. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ysbreker Posted August 6, 2005 whoa, did they change the box-art? yesterday it was an ugly green house on a green background. This globe version is much cooler! It seems there are two versions: and Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marek Posted August 6, 2005 Weird yesterday I saw the globe version and now the other one. I didn't know what Jake was smoking when he said purple gnome hat house but now I understand. whoa, did they change the box-art? yesterday it was an ugly green house on a green background.

ysbreker Posted August 6, 2005 WTF are they doing over at gamefly? It's flipping randomly between the globe and the house. weeeird stuff. As if they can't choose their cover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted August 6, 2005 The globe cover is a lot more nice looking. The house cover is quite hideous. It's weird that the image keeps changing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Fuzzy McBitty Posted August 6, 2005 The globe is my friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SiN Posted August 6, 2005 where can i see the globe box art? the only one that has every come up for me is the house, which looks okay ... got nothing on the originals cover! SiN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted August 6, 2005 Damn that globe box is sooooo much better. I want it. NOW. Where do I find? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Fuzzy McBitty Posted August 6, 2005 That's funny. The post used to have both... now I just see house and house. I'm sort of suprised they didn't use more Japanese in the title, given that the first one was successful. In any event... who do we contact to tell them to use the globe and not the house? I'm buying it reguardless... but if it is in the house package, I might have to put it in another case... cause hot damn that's ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
