411mania talks about this week's game releases. Some of the highlights include Little King's Story, Katamari Damacy Tribute, Shatter, and Wii Sports Resort.

Katamari Damacy Tribute (PS3 Import) - The demo was just release today in the Japanese PlayStation Store so I had a chance to mess around with it for a little while. I'm actually impressed with the switch to cel-shaded graphics thanks to the Valkyria Chronicles-like filter that Namco employed. I heard that you can switch between different graphical filters, and from the looks of the video down below, it's probably true. Other than the graphical changes, the game plays as expected. If you didn't like the other games in the series, you probably won't like this, and vice versa. I did play a level in which you had to roll your katamari around to grow flowers on the ground, so it's possible that there may be more to do this time around. We'll find out soon enough when the US version, renamed Katamari Forever, gets released in September.
