Here Is A Somewhat Confusing Noby Noby Boy Video

Looks awesome? I can't tell anymore.

Namco Bandai dropped this video of Noby Noby Boy onto Youtube yesterday.

  


I still don't know what the hell is going on here. All I know is that the game is out next week and I'm going to exchange some of my hard-earned American dollars for a chance to figure out what it all means.

He's trying to get around the big dude spinning.  It's hard to do, because the big dude is spinning...

If the boy stretches enough to go around the big dude enough...then...umm...a winner is you!

So, the Boy is a symbol of man's desire for peaceful coexistence with his fellow man, and the rotating device symbolizes man's desire to be weathy and secure.  The two forces, seemingly unopposed at first, are in fact locked in a closely matched struggle, whereby neither entity makes any progress.

Snapsticle is right, 1-up covered this game pretty well on one of their now-defunked podcasts, the objective is to make "Boy" as long as possible and your score is added to a total score of everyone, once everyone hits a certain amount, the next level will be unlocked(if i remember correctly), I am assuming the final goal will be to reach "Girl" who is on the moon. possibly even going beyond?   But from their impressions at 1-up the game works better as a toy-box, doing things like snaking  Boy in and out of houses and eating people,  and then pooping them out the other end, if you so wish.

that's an awful video. The game made much more sense on the 1up show when they were showing it a while back.

That is the weirdest thing...  Very abstract, I just hope it makes sense when the PS3 players are playing it.

What? It's just, huh? I--what? Wh-what the hell is going on in this video? I feel a deep need to know, but I have no PS3 sadly so I guess I won't know for a long time.

@destruktive: "wtf?"

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I just read the headline again, the word "Somewhat" should be replaced with a more fitting word like "Universe-implodingly".

I'm glad that he's finally doing something new, far away from Katamari (which has been run/rolled into the ground at this point) and NobyNoby looks like just as much fun . The mouth on the end of those tentacle things near the end, classic "WAHWAHWAH" :D

This game looks trippin. Only the Japanese would make a game like this, they have a really weird style over there man...really weird. Girls dress up like "hello, kitty" for fun..not for Halloween, but they just wear them as casual clothes. Its CRAAAAZZZYYY. But they probably think the same about us.

However trendy you want to be buying weird, playing this game for any sustainable amount of time may prove to be far more difficult than saying you will. Unless there is some genius mechanic behind it all, but really, how often is that the case?
