Keita Takahashi, the visionary behind games such as Katamari Damacy and Noby Noby Boy, has made a new post on the US PlayStation Blog regarding the recently released update for Noby Noby Boy, entitled Version 1.1. Here’s Takahashi:

“Finally, the updated 1.1 version is ready (available now on PSN). Honestly, debugging it was hard for multiplayer as it was a hotbed for bugs. So, if you run into a bug or two, please laugh that off. Since there are more silly updates aside from multiplay, I hope everyone has fun with the game as a whole.

“By looking at the number of WEBWEBBOY, however, a lot of people don’t seem to have noticed the updates. They may be playing something else and not know about them. But I do wonder when GIRL will reach Mars.”

A new trailer, as well as additional details about the update from Takahashi, follow below:

“Also, there is a hidden function in the game called SYNCHROBOY that people might not know about; it’s not even in the manual.

“I expected that people would notice by now, but I feel like revealing at least a clue as no one has picked up on it yet. By holding a certain button while getting out of a house, the number of BOY increases. This can give you a multiplayer feel even during the single player mode. Please check it out!”

Takahashi continues his fanciful thinking below:

“So now FARTBOY is audible. As it says names of the excreted in Japanese and English in a random manner, it’s perfect for 2 to 3-year-olds to study languages. Wouldn’t it be interesting to have it encompass entire languages, like excreting with a certain button held lets it speak a German word, etc? This feature may not mean much, but I think it’ll be fun to perfect this spec.

“See you soon!”
