Like kupo said, the first game was released in 2004. And yeah, US and JP games are NTSC coding, but I got the US version since I live in the US.

Yes, it was only $20! Twenty bucks compared to the usual $40-50...there's almost no excuse not to try/get the game since it was so cheap. I think Namco made the right choice to drop the price so low in order to get people to try it, but I felt they were cheated out since it's such a unique game that $20 is just too low. Well, it still prevailed in the end, so that's good news.

I just found out that Namco was planning on releasing a DS version of Katamashii but the US release was cancelled. I wonder why...?

EDIT: Check out this Panic site from Namco where you can buy Katamashii t-shirts! Unfortunately they only ship to US, Canada, Japan, and Korea. I want the Balloon and Dripping Prince!
