#KATAMARI DAMACY ROM GAME CUBE ARCHIVE#

This archive also includes a bonus set of scans produced by yours truly of the packaging and instructions included with the demo, the design of which is as charming as ever. It was also used in at least the later magazine demo, but I bring it up because the retailer demo proved to be a treasure trove for unused and rough draft music, so, as the oldest available demo of the bunch, this might well prove to have some goodies of its own.

The music used in the actual demo level is, I believe, an older, rougher cut of music found in the final game.

I believe there might be some very minor differences with respect to the actual level when it comes to object placement compared to the later magazine demo, but thatвЂ™s probably best determined by someone with better analytical skills than me.

That said, as an earlier version of the game than the previous two demos, there are some minor visual differences that you can pick out compared to them, such as a different-looking UI and katamari.If you donвЂ™t press any buttons, the music will indeed continue for about that long before the demo resets, which is behavior thatвЂ™s not present in the magazine demo. The ending to this demo is unique in that the King of All Cosmos invites you to listen to a music track for five straight minutes. The King of All Cosmos does have lines of dialogue that are different to varying degrees, but the actual flow of events is otherwise more or less the same. In terms of structure, this TGS demo and the magazine demo are very similar.

(As a reminder, the retail demo has its own entirely unique level thatвЂ™s wholly different from this demo and the magazine demo thatвЂ™s also well worth checking out if youвЂ™re a fan.) Still, it is a level that was made specifically for demo purposes and canвЂ™t be played in the final retail game. The level used in this disc was later reused for the magazine demo. Contrary to what I had previously thought, this demo doesnвЂ™t contain a wholly unique level per se.HereвЂ™s a brief breakdown of the actual demo contents compared to the other two discs: Chronologically speaking, this is, to my knowledge, the earliest publicly available demo for Katamari Damacy by several months compared to the other two demos, so if youвЂ™re one for documenting the seriesвЂ™ history, in terms of playable content you can get without breaking into Namco, this is probably as early as youвЂ™re going to get. Previously, IвЂ™ve dumped a demo that was released through Japanese game magazine Dengeki Playstation, as well as one that was distributed only to Japanese retailers. Hopefully to make up for it, IвЂ™ve got some good news: I finally got my hands on one last Japanese demo disc for Katamari Damacy, the one that Namco gave to the public during TGS 2003, and itвЂ™s up for you to check out right now!ДЇor those of you not already in the know, that makes this the third such demo for Katamari Damacy IвЂ™ve uploaded to this blog. I know itвЂ™s been about a year since this blog last got updated with any new drops. Release: Katamari Damacy TGS 2003 Demo (SLPM-60213)
