Speaking to the BBC, Takahashi reiterated his view that a sequel to Katamari had not strictly been necessary. "I didn't want players to be disappointed so I decided to take part. There are fun things are in the game, though I am not happy with all of it."
As always, he was scathing about what he sees as a lack of creativity in the business, "Developers want to come up with fun games but ideas are judged by their sales potential. The reality is that decisions are driven by sales and marketing. There are people who don't buy games at the moment but want to have fun. They want more choices and more selection."
