\nIt’s the 20th anniversary of one of the best games ever made today, Katamari Damacy<\/strong>, so what better way to celebrate than by opening a Twitter account?\n<\/p>\n

\nIn the ancient year of 2004, a little game developer known as Namco released a strange game called Katamari Damacy where you are a little prince and you must roll anything and everything up to create stars and planets. It was, and quite honestly still is, a very weird game, and probably quite safely holds the position of having one of the best video game soundtracks of all time thanks to its shibuya-kei stylings. To commemorate 20 years of existence, Bandai Namco has opened a (Japanese language) Twitter account to celebrate all things Katamari.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Twitter account will of course offer up information related to the game series itself, but any goods and merchandise that might crop up too. That’s good news for those of us that are fans of the cult classic series, and implies that both the Katamari Damacy Reroll and We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie remasters did well enough to warrant more dedication.\n<\/p>\n
