Custom Katamari Damacy box art is na-na-nice and incredible photo

Unhappy with the official box art for Namco Bandai's Katamari Damacy, Destructoid forum-goer Matthew Blake took matters into his own hands. He created his own.

While we're flattered by the fact that he put our very own Mr. Destructoid on the box, more amazing is that nearly all of the text has been replaced by the "lyrics" from the game's recognizable main theme: "Na na na."

"All of the text is written the same as the original box art," he xplains. "That is, all of the commas, periods, and larger letters are exactly where they're supposed to be... just as gibberish."

Even if we didn't know what the game was, finding this on store shelves would make it an instant-buy. With Katamari Forever slated to his PlayStation 3 later this year, we're going to put it out there: There's still time to make some changes, Namco Bandai. 

Has anyone else gotten creative and designed some of their own clever custom box art? If so, share it in the comments or hit up the Dtoid forums and show it off.

Last week I started plotting a "Call of the Dead" to put on top of "Call Of Duty World at War" yesterday I finished it then when I got home to buy the Map packs 1 and 2. A common bug among PS Store users occurred, so I couldn't buy the maps. Then I had to wait 24 hours to try again with successful results.Now I have a custom "Call Of Duty World at War" PS3 cover but I'm too tired, frustrated, angry and depressed to show to anybody. I will put it up tomorrow ....

I like this revision, but why would you be unhappy with the original boxart? It's great!

Holy , I'm on the Internet! Thanks a ton, guys. :D I know the front of the box isn't terribly different from the original, but that was what my client requested- he wanted the original layout, with the King of All Cosmos stuck in the giant Katamari. That request was given to me about a month ago, but I'm thoroughly pleased with the results- I feel it was worth the time.
