Katamari Canned for PS3? No Worries!
Sure, it wasn't awesome news for PS3 owners. It makes me glad I still have plans to buy a new 360 somewhere down the line.
Beautiful Katamari was cancelled for the PLAYSTATION 3 for unknown reasons, but it was obviously because Namco Bandai decided that they would be spending the funds and manpower better elsewhere at this point and focusing on a 360-exclusive title. Katamari has never shown up on the Xbox so there are probably quite a few potential buyers looking forward to experiencing its greatness.
However, Namco Bandai, and particularly Katamari-creator Keita Takahashi seem to be making up for it already, as they unveiled a brand new title called Nobi Nobi Boy for PLAYSTATION 3.
"Nobi" means to stretch, so from that and the artwork revealed, we can probably guess what the basic premise of the game is.
Nippon Ichi's DISGAEA 3 Coming to PLAYSTATION 3
Not much to it, other than NIS has announced Disgaea 3 for PS3, coming this Winter. According to them, these screens are "work in progress," although I don't expect to see much improvement on the sprites, I'd at least hope for some higher resolutions.
LocoRoco Finally Coming to PS3
It was one of SCEJ's worst-kept secrets after GDC, but Loco Roco has finally been announced by Sony in Japan today. The game is titled Buu Buu Cocoreccho! by LocoRoco and is currently 95% complete according to the development team. Expect it to show up on the Japanese PlayStation Store very soon.

No exact details about Level 5's Shirokishi (White Knight Story) have made it out of Japan alive yet, but at least we get some new screenshots. As we can see, it's apparent that we might be able to customize the design of our main character...or something.
