Keita Takahashi did not want to say much before an official announcement for his upcoming project except that it would include a boy and his dog.
Yet the creations by one of the video game industry’s most eccentric designers are never that straightforward.
One of his games stars a mustachioed green cube on a mission to reunite a group of giggling objects in a circle of friendship.
Surreal characters, simple controls and a catchy soundtrack turned the 2004 PlayStation 2 title into a masterpiece.
Last month its sequel, We Love Katamari, which arguably perfected those qualities, was rereleased with improved graphics and new levels.
