Back in March we reported that famed PSN game Noby Noby Boy would be making its way to the iPhone. And Namco Bandai hasn’t forgotten about us. The developer is apparently 60% done with the iPhone version, and to prove is, Namco has released a screenshot, giving us a peek at what we can expect.

In all honesty, the released shot doesn’t tell us much. We see BOY, but not much else. Luckily, there’s still 40% if the game yet to be developed. But will it be free? Crossing our fingers (and our nipples).

Your favorite ravenous worm-thing of the moment, Playstation’s version of The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar, Noby Noby Boy, wasn’t quite our bag when we checked it out a few months. It’s a nice little game if you happen to be drunk and lazing around on the couch, but probably not worth the $5 it costs.

If you’re a bigger fan of the game than we were or just love any type of gaming wearable, this Noby Noby Boy Hat and Scarf could be pretty cool. Let the Noby monster munch on your head for a little bit. You know it’s big enough.

Noby Noby Boy is a weird bag. I bought it for the Playstation 3 a few weeks ago and have played it intermittently since. I like to get drunk, come home and stretch that penis boy as long as I can get that fucker. After 10 minutes, I upload my length, turn it off and pass out. At this rate, GIRL is never going to get through the solar system. That’s why creator Keita Takahashi has an ace up his sleeve: the iPhone.

Yes, at the Game Developer’s Conference (GDC) this year, Takahashi revealed that everyone’s favorite stretching game will be ported to the iPhone. It’s the perfect kind of simple game for the iPhone and if priced correctly, it’ll flourish. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to rub a Noby Noby out in the shower.

So last night, I stumbled home somewhat drunk and full of Mexican food. I plopped down on the couch and started smoking a cigarette. I decided to cure my temporary boredom, I’d spend the $5 on Noby Noby Boy for the PS3. I downloaded it and 20 minutes later, fired the game up.

30 minutes later all I could say was “What the fuck?” This is not a game. This is a program that was nearly impossible to describe and was clearly designed while under the influence of narcotics. You take this creature that looks like a multi-colored penis with legs and wrap it around shit. You can eat stuff and poop it out. That’s about all I could figure out after 30 minutes of gameplay. I managed to get to the second level (I think) and eventually shut the game off and went to bed.

Is Noby Noby Boy worth the $5? I hate to say it, but if you’re not drunk or fucked up on drugs, I doubt it. The game makes little to no sense but for some reason, it’s surprisingly playable. I suggest splitting the $5 with a friend and giving it a whirl.

Noby Noby Boy is the latest upcoming title from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi. It’ll be hitting the Playstation Network in early 2009 and most of us will buy it. Why? You’ll be stretching a colorful rainbow penis around in 3-D space for hours. Twirl it around, make it into a pretzel, whatever. Compete against people online to see who can stretch their penis the longest. Something like that. Either way, 1UP has a hands on preview you’ll want to read about for a better understanding.
