So... As we all know, the first Katamari Damacy was released March 18 of 2004 (In Japan), and I have planned a little anniversary picture. However, I did noticed that 2003 is a year that is covered in the games (Katamari Damacy 2003 - 2004, We Love Katamari 2003 - 2005, Katamari Forever 2003 - 2009, etc.) What exactly happened in 2003? Was that the year KD was "conceived"? Does that means that this year is the 10th? Will be saved from the aliens in the webcomic?Come on guys, I'm very confused

game was release in 2004. not sure where you got the 2003 part other than the game was in development during that time. since we are primarly north american and european users you may want to set your 10th anniversary for Sept 2014. |

But... It wouldn't feel right. We aren't talking about when the game was release where we live, we are talking about when it first appeared in the world. And if it first appeared in Japan, then it has to be when it was released in Japan. |

TrezurH, I did a little digging, and it turns out that 2003 was when Katamari was first revealed at Tokyo Game Show. That was in September 2003, so this coming September would be the 10th anniversary of the public's awareness of the game... if that makes sense. |

I really don't understand this reasoning. For all we know, Keita could have thought of this idea when he was a kid, so maybe it's really the 30th anniversary. ![]() I personally wouldn't speculate anything beyond the official release dates, but that's just me. We can't really celebrate the conception of an idea. We could, but it wouldn't make much sense. |

I'm not trying to spoil the fun or anything, don't get me wrong but I just don't see the point in making an anniversary an ambiguous date of speculation. We all kind of have our own Kata-versaries. When we each heard about the game, found out about it, experienced it, etc. ![]() Add the date to the boards calendar if you want, anyone can add stuff to that thing.

Well, I don't really mean some anniversary about our experience, I'm talking about the years Katamari was rolling around the world, you know, like Megaman's 25th, Sonic's 20th, etc. |

I know... My opinion: the only true dates would be the release dates then.

the real question is: what will we (katamari fans) do for the 10th anniversary? more importantly, what will namco bandai do? |

I was planning to make a giant celebration picture, but I sure hope Namco tries to do something. |
