NOBY BOY Now Available for Download on PSN

Expand Your Imagination with the
Latest Title from the Creator of Katamari Damacy

NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.,
today announced that NOBY NOBY BOY is now available for download from the
PlayStation Network for the PLAYSTATION 3 for a price of $4.99. An original
interactive experience from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi, NOBY NOBY
BOY lets players’ imaginations run wild as they stretch a creature named BOY to
amazing lengths and collaborate with other players online through
randomly-generated stages throughout the solar system.

Delivering an experience like no
other, NOBY NOBY BOY does away with strict goal-based gaming conventions,
letting players create their own unique scenarios. As BOY, players can
independently control the front and back ends of their body, pulling both sides
apart to grow to incredible lengths. BOY can also eat nearly anything he
encounters in the game, allowing him to grow even longer or spit out objects in
any direction. Players can generate new randomly-generated stages at any time,
providing a limitless selection of playground-like worlds to explore and
interact with.

Connecting gamers around the world,
NOBY NOBY BOY tracks the cumulative progress of all online players through a
persistent character called GIRL. As players stretch BOY in their individual
play sessions, the lengths to which they grow are uploaded to GIRL, who grows
longer at the same rate of all the players in the world. Situated in outer
space, GIRL starts at Earth and expands though the solar system as BOYs around
the world continue to grow. When GIRL reaches a new milestone in the solar
system, these areas are unlocked as playable stages in the game for everyone
around the world. Online players can also record in-game video footage at any
time and upload it directly to YouTube, sharing their creative exploits with
millions of users.
