SUPER REALISTIC GAMEPLAY

What is this game?
<object width="640" height="385"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hoFYEtj2tDw&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Basically a classic Zelda clone mixed in with other 8bit games of the past.

How much will this game cost?
39.99. Only on PS3

...are you fucking kidding me? It looks a lot like Zelda!
Yes it does. The company who made this game made this as a tribute!

So...what is so great about this game?
Well, first off. You can make your own hero! Sure you embark on your own quest to save the world. But instead of shooting sword beams out of your sword. You get HUGE SWORDS depending on how much life you have!

That's right. say if you have 20 hearts. Your sword will be huge! And I am talking MEGA HUGE! You will cut through the game itself!

Are the spells? Items to use? And other things?

Spells, a boomerang, and a hookshot have been confirmed. I have not looked in the Japanese version (Which has been released already) so I can not say if there are more items. Who cares? HUGE FUCKING SWORDS!

This game looks retarded. So much for PS3 graphics
Fuck you! This game is a huge "Thank you" to all other 8-16 bit games of the past. Every loading screen has something to do with a previous 8-16 bit game you may have played. (Metroid, Zelda, Metal Gear, Mario, etc). It's basically a love letter to everything holy that was that era. And it compares every loving moment of it. Take a break and play some classic gaming for a fucking change.

Is the music 8-bit?
Yes, Oh hell fucking yes. Well, almost. But it's epic.

Game comes out sometime in May.

I've been waiting for this game for awhile now. I'm really looking forward to it considering the fact that it's very reminiscent of the good bird's eye view Zelda games (I really haven't been impressed with the DS releases).

So it comes out May 11 to be exact and this is definitely the next game on my list of 2010 releases that I'm really looking forward to

This gleefully takes a lot from zelda. However I am glad to see more games of this type exist, and moreso the fact that it is not brown and grey.

The distance blur would drive me crazy however.

All in all, will probably play on friends PS3

I have to say, this looks ridiculously awesome, can't believe I haven't heard of it before. The character creator looks pretty nice, though that guy seemed to have trouble giving his Link a face.

Definitely getting it as soon as it comes out, it's going to be fun.

	I love that a homage to a ton of Nintendo games comes out on a Sony console Almost makes me wish I had a PS3 to try this, but I don't, so all I can say is that the music sounds good and the game looks... unique. ____________________ <@Bitmap> Be completely humble and gentle; <@Bitmap> And tell them to shut the fuck up

Friend of mine is importing this game from some website (Seen how it's already out in Japan), even though it does not have the extra stuff the American version is going to have; it's basically still the same game. And I am sure it does not take rocket science to know what to do in this game.

There are two reserves on this at my store- mine from a few months ago, and my coworker's from when I showed him the ads (which are hilarious).

The fact that there aren't more saddens me.

Even though I think the level of special effects it uses is almost absurd, I really like the 3D-pixels look. Kinda reminds me of Lego blocks. :3

From the official website's FAQ page:

[at the end of an answer, it says to "Check the System page for details!"]

Q: Hey, was that a reference to some game I played back in the 80s that I just saw?
A: I don't know...... Was it?

Q: Okay wise guy, if it WAS, how many of those are there to find?
A: It's a secret to everybody.

Also, GameInformer had a review of it in their most recent issue, and some of the quotes from it are:

"3D Dot Game Heroes plays like a version of Zelda that aged as well as your fond memories of the series."

"Where 3D Dot Game Heroes departs from the cor Zelda formula is in its challenge. Simply navigating the overworld from dungeon to dungeon can be perilous and confusing. . . . Clearing dungeons requires tremendous concentration and practice, but if you're a true Zelda fan you've been training your whole life for this."

and

"Ultimately, 3D Dot Game Heroes combines the original Legend of Zelda's world with A Link to the Past-style gameplay, which proves to be an absolute blast. What the game lacks in originality it makes up for in nostalgic humor, polished gameplay, and length, clocking in at around 20 hours for non-completionists. No self-respecting Zelda fan or retro gamer should pass this one up."

They gave it an 8.5. I so cannot wait for this game.

Oh wow. My biggest fear with this game was that it'll be too short, since it's cheaper than most new PS3 games (right?), but damn. Can't wait.

Honestly wish I owned a PS3 now. I won't say this justifies the purchase of the console, but uh...if I had that kind of money to burn it just might.

This looks SO cool, you can tell they worked really hard at this and its a great tribute.

This is one of the downside with home consoles, if you want to play every game you're interested in, you have to buy all three fucking systems. V_v;

I won't be getting this game even though I really want to play it, why? I have no PS3.

I wish I had a way of playing it. I would totally get it if not for it being PS3 only.

I'm starting to get even more excited about it as the release date approaches. Next week is going to suck as school is throwing a ton of tests, quizzes, and presentations at me although at least I know that there's going to be something to look forward to after all of the madness is done and gone
