The Katamari Damacy series started way back in 2004. For the first time, the franchise is appearing on a Nintendo console with Katamari Damacy Reroll in December. Interestingly, the IP has some ties to Nintendo platforms in its earliest days.
As revealed in a new book from L. E. Hall due out this week, the prototype for Katamari Damacy was developed on the GameCube.
