Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi revealed the first snippets from his brand-new IP, Nobi Nobi Boy, at Tokyo's PlayStation Premiere event yesterday. Snippets revealed include the title, the least descriptive pictures we've ever seen, and absolutely nothing else.
While IGN speculates on the title's nature based on a translation of the word 'nobi' (apparently it means 'to stretch' in the King's English), Destructoid is far above such amateur forecasting. Instead, we'd like to point out the physical similiarties shared by the titular character and many species of inch worm. Would it be completely unheard of to assume Mr. Takahashi is working on a comical, futuristic take on the life cycle of nature's most beautiful worm? We think not, and would go so far as to almost guarantee it!

Either that, or crawl down my throat and feast on my innards, damn scary little pink and green thing...
If it involves the whole growing thing, let the dick jokes begin.
That's how it's been so far with PS3 exclusives. They either lose exclusivity, or turn out to be games I don't really want after all.
I wonder why the Katamari guy hates the Wii? It seems like it would fit his "cute but ugly, innocent yet disturbing, and who cares about realisim?" mentality perfectly.
Maybe he's pissed off that the Wii is weirder than anything he's ever thought of, and that makes him like he's not the coolest anymore.
a new Katamari porn?
LALALA
Or maybe it will be a casual game for the MTV girl audience? Noobi boy will eat your fatty tissue inside your stomach! Direct him to all foods or you will throw up and lose points. Your eyetoy will take pictures for worldwide anorexiskank leaderboards!
"I wonder why the Katamari guy hates the Wii? It seems like it would fit his "cute but ugly, innocent yet disturbing, and who cares about realisim?" mentality perfectly."
He claims that video games should focus more on whats on screen that the controls. I'm sorry but as much as I love Katamari Damacy, Keita Takahashi comes off as a jerk. (made katamari damacy because he was bored at namco and didn't want to work on other projects, hates video games so he left namco to design playgrounds for children, criticizes the wii even though he left the industry...and so on.)
i think he is the Asian Michael Jackson.
I think he's just winding the fanboys up and giggling about it with his friends.
I can't imagine the gameplay for Nobi Nobi Boy and it may turn out to be a dud but I'm still really looking forward to more info on it.
Then I take everything that I have said about him back because that sounds pretty hilarious.
