Katamari Damacy REROLL (Katamari Damashii Encore in Japan) is an third-person puzzle-action game published by Bandai Namco Games and developed by MONKEYCRAFT Co. Ltd., released on December 7, 2018 for the PC and Nintendo Switch. It is a high-definition remaster of Katamari Damacy that was announced in the September 13th Nintendo Direct, previously delayed due to an earthquake in Japan.

The game is unchanged from the original Katamari Damacy with the most notable changes being widescreen support, upgraded graphics and visuals, and motion controls exclusive to the Nintendo Switch version.

The game is available as a digital download on Steam and the Nintendo eShop, but is also available as a physical game card for Nintendo Switch.

Summary from the Nintendo Direct

The stop-at-nothing pushing prince is back and ready to reroll. When the King of All Cosmos accidentally destroys all the stars in the sky, he orders you, his pint-sized princely son, to put the twinkle back in the heavens above. Join the King and Prince of Cosmos on their wacky adventure to restore the stars at home or on the go – now in full HD.

Enjoy quirky, infectious humor throughout - from the insanely cosmic animations, to the wacky and wonderful musical stylings, to the royally contagious storyline that’s undoubtedly like no other.

Players will be able to take Katamari Damacy REROLL on the go with their Nintendo Switch™! Using the joy-cons, control the katamari using the gyro controls to turn and shake the joy-cons to perform the Prince Dash when in table-top mode. Players can also play on multiplayer mode with a friend by using the two Joy-cons on the Switch.
