Beautiful Katamari Encompasses PS3, Wii; Eternal Sonata Serenading PS3

5
Recent updates to two of Namco's official game pages likely hint at some of the company's forthcoming Tokyo Game Show announcements.

After Beautiful Katamari was announced for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 version dropped off the radar and Namco refused to comment on the matter. Going by the game's official site though, the PlayStation 3 version is still in production, alongside the oft-rumored but never confirmed Wii edition.

Formerly an Xbox 360 exclusive, Eternal Sonata is apparently headed to PlayStation 3 as well. Developed by tri-Crescendo, the RPG explores the possible tuberculosis-induced hallucinations composer Chopin experienced while on his deathbed. It's also one of the most gorgeous efforts to come out of any development studio thus far; its in-game assets easily mistaken for a cartoon or a pre-rendered cinematic.

As Eternal Sonata doesn't ship in North America until next week, though Namco's official site lists it as being available now, it's theorized that the page was updated a bit early, thus giving away some of the announcements from this week's Tokyo Game Show. Shacknews has contacted Namco for more information.
