Katamari Damacy: The Man Who Rolled The World - Design Documentary

Katamari is was a weird budget title released by Namco in 2005 that became a critical and commercial success despite its obscurity. However, it was that success that led the designer to eventually hate his own creation and leave game development. What happened? We discuss that and more in this video! Also, I’m entirely too happy about that title.
