Beautiful Katamari to skip PS3, end up on Wii instead?

Most people are now content with the knowledge that Beautiful Katamari is now being developed for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 consoles, but IGN reported a rumor that may turn some PS3 owners’ worlds upside down: Beautiful Katamari for the PS3 is now getting axed in favor of a Wii version.

The reason, IGN’s sources said, was that the developers encountered a crippling trouble in the making of the PS3 port of Beautiful Katamari, forcing them to halt the project. The PS3’s currently sub-par sales was also rumored as a reason for cancelling the PS3 version.

This adds another Beautiful Katamari Wii rumor to the list, with the first BK Wii rumor getting debunked due to Namco Bandai‘s apparent disinterest in making a Katamari title for the Wii, whose success was still not proven then.

Namco Bandai has yet to answer IGN’s queries about the issue, and until they have released an official statement its best to treat this bit of rumor with a grain of salt, despite IGN’s sources’ claim that the news is “100 percent reliable”. Stay tuned as we roll around for more information!
