Takahashi Shows Off Noby Noby Boy iPhone At Tokyo Apple Store

Though he's also busy designing a children's playground, Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi hasn't abandoned his game projects! Here, you can see the imaginative creative director demonstrating his team's progress on Noby Noby Boy's iPhone game at the Apple Store in Tokyo's Ginza shopping district.

Takahashi's presentation is entirely in Japanese, but he shows bits of the game prove that this mobile version will be just as weird as the PSN release and even stranger than initial screenshots indicated. He drops a variety of objects into space to bounce Boy off of (even shaking the handheld to rattle the on-screen objects), types messages on Boy's body, and superimposes Boy over some sort of map application.

You can see more videos from Takahashi's demonstration on Youtube user Noby829's profile.
