Noby Noby Boy confuses own creator

Namco Bandai’s PlayStation 3 exclusive downloadble Noby Noby Boy has to be the weirdest game ever put on consoles. It is the Joaquin Phoenix of videogames.
Every game has to have some sort of point — even the artsy flower makes sense in a way — but ‘Boy just seems to be a bunch of random shit thrown together. Keita Takahashi, creator of the Katamari series and certified expert in weirdness admittedly has created something even he himself does not understand, that does not mean he does not try:

“Basically players can control and stretch Boy, the main character of the game. As players stretch Boy, the lengths to which he grows are uploaded to a persistent character known as Girl, who grows at the same rate as the combined length of all the players in the world. Girl starts at Earth and expands around the solar system. When Girl reaches a new milestone in the solar system, new areas are unlocked as playable stages for everyone around the world.”

Despite, or mazybe because of the weirdness, Noby Noby Boy does sound rather enticing. Here we are again, at the edge of our seats, awaiting the game’s release on thursday, february 19 — can’t really go wrong for about €3,99, right?

The new trailer can be found after the jump. Please watch it, but do not expect enlightment.
