News Nintendo Switch 2 Upcoming Releases Once Upon A Katamari Is The Latest Game To Roll Onto Switch 2 Plus new DLC is announced by Ollie Reynolds 28 mins ago Share: Bandai Namco has announced that Once Upon a Katamari will be making its way to the Switch 2 later this year on 8th October 2026 . As to be expected with the new release, players can expect improved resolution and higher frame rates. Mouse controls have also been added in which you 'roll' the Joy-Con forwards, kinda like Drag x Drive (yeah, you forgot about that game, didn't you). There's no word on any upgrade path for current Switch owners, unfortunately. However, to lessen the blow, a free update is coming for current owners to add mouse controls and increase the frame rate if you happen to play on Switch 2, so that's a decent gesture.

Players can choose to play as The Prince or any of the 68 cousins, all of whom can be customized with different colors and facial features.
