Vincent looks like he’s going to have his hands full in Catherine: Full Body – and potentially his mouth, too. With pre-orders going live for the expanded PlayStation 3 puzzler in Japan, creator Atlus has released the box art for the re-release, showing the protagonist surrounded by a trio of buxom babes. The game’s due out on the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita on 14th February.
The company also released some new screenshots, introducing Rin and showing the horned hero pushing some blocks around. There’s no word on a Western release date just yet, but we’ve got our fingers crossed it’s not too far behind.

Catherine is really good, I will probably buy it again.
@PS_Nation I enjoyed it when you didn't have to play it.
I'm still unsure what to make of this game. It could be one of my favourite games of next year, or I might just find it awkward and not enjoy it. Regardless, I'll likely pick this up and see for myself.
@get2sammyb I agree, it’s the best part of it, the puzzles are really difficult.
The box art is nice.
I loved this game,puzzles an all!Will definitely be picking this up if it comes over here.
Why do people seem to not like the puzzles in this? I thought the puzzles were a perfect match for the plot, and there was an easy mode for those who struggled. If the puzzles were too easy, then people would be complaining about how easy it was.
The art is nice, I'll try after I'm done with sony 1st party titles in my backlog.
@get2sammyb you preferred being in the bar than doing the puzzles???
@Wraggadam well, i believe people got frustrated by the puzzle difficulty towards the latter half of the game. they were very challenging even on the standard difficulty. i think there will be an easier option this time around for those who want it? i see no harm in that.
I remember my first ménage à quatre: myself, Häagen-dazs Peanut Butter Crunch, Ben & Jerry's Caramel Sutra Core, and Magnum Classic.
@Porco there was an easier difficulty last time. The normal mode was definitely quite challenging, and stressful, but the easy mode was pretty much a breeze. I don't see a problem with that, but when people complain it was too difficult, when there was an easy mode, is a little odd. Any easier and it would play itself.
Loved the game and the very seinen story! buying it again if it turns out to be a substantial update. It was a very nice tale and the gameplay kept me more entertained than the average Persona game
@Wraggadam i didn't try the easy mode so i wouldn't know... but i'll take your word for it. the critics of catherine likely just don't have the intellect for puzzle games in general and should stay clear then. i suppose those who became atlus fans due to persona 3 and onward, gave catherine a try and were surprised to realize it couldn't be any more different — let's just say they didn't get what they expected.
@Porco is suspect that's the case. It's definitely got the SMT style plot and design, but the gampley couldn't be further (except the bar sections, which are quite persona like). I for one can't wait to play this again with the new character, I just hope people go in with expectations of this been a pretty intense puzzle game. For psone era gamers I'd compare it to Kurushi (or Intelligent Qube depending on region).
oh yes, i.q. is a lost hidden gem... a very good puzzle game that surprisingly holds up very well today. i have not heard that game spoken of in a good decade or two
