It’s been a rocky ride for Namco’s Katamari games ever since Keita Takahashi left the Japanese publisher. The odd, left-field whimsy that the game designer imbued 2004′s Katamari Damacy with dwindled with each sequel. Still, Stephen Totilo’s last look at Touch My Katamari made me wonder if Namco might be finding their way back to some kind of charm or interesting mechanics with the franchise.
