Katamari Damacy and Gamespy Wireless on the DS

Posted by Zonk on from the rollin'-rollin'-rollin' dept.

Hit quirky game Katamari Damacy will be coming to the Nintendo DS sometime in the near future, according to Joystiq. From the article: "The game is listed under Namco's planned DS titles. Squint hard at the top of the image, and you'll see it. Get that stylus ready. You're going to be pushing around a world of crap with it, soon enough." At the same time, GamesAreFun.com has information about the DS Wireless Service, which is going to be hosted partially by Gamespy.

    They claim the code isn't in any state to convert to the lower PAL framerate. Timing-based games require some tweaking in this respect. Metroid Prime 2 with its 60hz only mode and Ninja Gaiden with its broken first person view in 50hz mode tend to support this pov that developers occasionally use as an excuse. I believe Sony insist on a 50hz mode, and would be unlikely to change policy for a third party.
