Noby Noby Boy reaches Jupiter News
PlayStation 3 News by Oli Welsh
Keita Takahashi's certifiable PSN game Noby Noby Boy has reached Jupiter on its stretchy journey through the solar system.
BOY's astral girlfriend, called GIRL, grows according to the collective BOY-stretching of all players of the game. She reached the moon on 23rd February, Mars on 23rd May and the gas giant last Friday, 20th November, according to Kotaku.
GIRL's journey has had to sped along by adding a multiplier to players' scores after the game sold poorly. Katamari creator Takahashi revealed at GDC that it would take 820 years to span the solar system at the initial 1:1 ratio.
We happened to visit Jupiter yesterday and found skinny and hilly maps, a colour scheme of green, orange and pink, multi-coloured tubes to crawl through, helicopters, lots of people carrying placards, fields full of immobile tartan giants and a sun that looks like a monkey. PSN Stores has pictures and video.
"I believe that it is alright to create a stupid and irresponsible game, I really do," Takahashi told Eurogamer earlier this year.

I loved this game, I even worked my way up into the top 50 and then they had to go and fuck up the leaderboards with random multipliers (which I never got), which totally sapped what little incentive there was to keep playing for me. The kids love it, and I'm pretty excited about Jupiter, but I really wish they'd've stuck something in to improve the longevity.

So will he be applying for a job with Infinity Ward then? |

I bought this game on launch. I still haven't figured out what the @#$@# is going on! On the other hand it is a good time waster in a really bizzare way.

I loved this for about a week. Now it's just languishing at the bottom of my games list alongside Super Rub A Dub and Calling All Cars.

If I had a PS3, I would DEFINITELY buy this game. So if they want more sales, port it to 360! ;-)

What's really odd is that the Eurogamer Logo has vanished from the top left of this page.

@davisorle
Those are pretty much the reasons I like the look of it! Just that kind of random weirdness is my cup of tea. Seriously, this game & LBP are the two main reasons I'd like a PS3. Sadly my wallet can't justify it. Also, not surprised I got marked down for my last post. I hate it when people come on a thread and whinge "oooh, port it to my system!", so sorry about that folks. |

Personally I'm thrilled that not all game designers make the same sort of game. Yeah, it's weird, and I still don't quite get it, but at least it's not yet another brown FPS or uber macho Racing game - I like those too but there's space in the market for things that aren't that. More power to Takehashi - irresponsible? No way. It's absolutely the right thing to do.
