In this launch trailer for Touch My Katamari, we take a look at what the critics are saying about the latest adventure with the King of All Cosmos himself.

In the all-new launch trailer for Shinobido 2: Revenge of Zen, players will enter an open world of heart-pounding stealth action, sneak up on foes to dispatch them in a single move, travel the skies with the legendary flying ninja suit, ‘Fukurou’ and much more in this assassin-thriller from famed developer Acquire.

Long ago, the Cosmos faced almost certain doom. In a instant, countless stars were wiped from the sky at the hands of a mysterious clumsy giant. But even then, in our darkest hour all hope was not lost for he refused to abandon us to such a dismal fate!

The game is published by Namco Bandai and is due for the PlayStation Vita on February 22nd, 2012.

Check out this new trailer from Touch My Katamari.

The game will release on the PlayStation Vita and is being published by Namco Bandai.

In the latest video for Touch My Katamari, players get their first glimpse at ‘Goro the Slacker’ – a hardcore gamer and internet addict who realizes that he, much like the King of All Cosmos, must work to get his life back together after realizing it’s crumbled to pieces.

Namco Bandai have released a new trailer for Touch My Katamari due for the PlayStation Vita.

The latest installment in the Katamari series, Touch My Katamari, is the debut of the beloved franchise on PlayStation®Vita. The King of All Cosmos has a whole new bunch of weird and wonderful missions in store as you once again step into the shoes of his son, the prince. Use the PlayStation Vita touch screen controls or dual analog sticks in conjunction with the rear touch pad to squeeze, stretch and roll your Katamari ball around the environments gathering up every possible object to make it grow. The King will send you to the four corners of the earth to complete your oddball missions and restore his very particular kind of Katamari order to the universe.

Namco has released a new gameplay video for Touch My Katamari, another one of their launch titles for the PS Vita when it releases on February 22 next year. Yeah, I know it has a funny name, stop smirking.

The video shows that the game is basically controlled exclusively via touch based inputs (stop smirking!), and the buttons are probably not to be pressed in this game (okay, seriously). However, the game might have multiple control schemes.

Oh, for those of you who’re still smirking- the video asks the player to “stretch the ball” or “shrink the ball” and such.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Now don’t go getting any ideas there… Touch My Katamari will be a PS Vita launch title and looks, from this intro at least, like it will be bringing some much needed colour to the Vita’s opening lineup. Btw, by ‘colour’ I do not mean to imply that other launch titles are grey (read boring, symbolically), I am talking here about literal colour! Alas, the video does not show any of the Vita specific features, but Touch My Katamari should feature the ability to stretch your Katamari into a few deformed, log-like shapes.

Thanks to Siliconera for the info.
