Katamari canned on Wii?

The little hammerhead prince and his bonkers giant sticky ball rolling game will never come to Wii, according to major US retailer Wal-Mart.

The mental Katamari series, which started off on PS2 but more recently hit 360 with Beautiful Katamari, was slated for a Wii (and DS) release when the game's director Jun Morikawa mentioned it at the Tokyo Game Show.

Nothing has been officially said since, but Wal-Mart reckons it's been completely canned following a series of delays. "Maybe this game will be available at a future date", it says, but there's no option to pre-order the title with the retailer.

Namco's inbox has been hit. Here's hoping for a reply.

It is really strange, I don't see why it wouln't be released on Wii. A game like this one will sell well, without problems.

1 thing to learn, NEVER TRUST WAL-MART ON ELECTRONICS. They tend to have a reputation for screwing up information and not paying attention.
