With an onslaught of classics in the pipeline primed for re-release, Namco Bandai is preparing to ramp up its presence in the digital market next year. Namco says the initiative will give customers “access to hard-to-find gems and the latest best-selling content available at their fingertips” across the entire slate of portable and console platforms.

To offer a glimpse at what’s up and coming, currently Beautiful Katamari is slated for a digital re-release in Q1 2010 on Microsoft’s Xbox Live Games on Demand service. PSP title Me & My Katamari was made available on PSN yesterday as a UMD legacy download. Expect to see a steady supply of PSOne Classics from Namco’s backcatalog hitting the PlayStation Store as we move into 2010 as well.
