Takahashi resumes career goal of screwing with us

By Joe Fourhman | December 17, 2008

Remember that crazy Noby Noby Boy trailer from TGS? The one with the segmented snake-child scooting through a 2D rainbow maze, set to a brain-perforating “Noby Noby Noby” song? It’s after the jump if you happened to miss it.

Well, Siliconera stumbled upon the official Japanese website of Katamari man Keita Takahashi’s current project, which contains a pile of screens like the one above. Not at all like the trailer below. So what are we to expect from this game by the developer voted most likely to scuttle an interview should David Jaffe not be available? I have no idea.

Siliconera points out that Noby Noby Boy will hit PS3s in Japan on January 29th, as a PSN game priced around 800 yen. Some evidence suggests other countries will hit around the same time, but Namco Bandai has not revealed anything concrete. Noby Noby Boy reportedly has the same upload-to-YouTube feature that was found in PixelJunk Eden and PixelJunk Monsters. Noby Noby remix go!

Oh, and the official Noby website has a positively bitchin’ URL: http://o–o.jp/.

Oh yeah. That’s the stuff.
