3D Dot Game Heroes

[Nifleheim7]

A company called Ghostlight published Shin Megami Tensei 3 and both SMT Digital Devil Saga games in the UK. Persona 3 FES was published by Koei. Persona 4 was published by Square Enix.

All those are games developed by Atlus. That's not to say they couldn't do it for 3D Dot Game Heroes if they really, *really* wanted to (international licensing is messy), but if Atlus (US or otherwise) can't even publish their own games in the UK, there's little hope they'll have a hand here.

That's a very good point.

I wasn't really intending for this to sound like Europe won't get the game, I just wanted to point out that Atlus has nothin' to do with it.

In any case, PS3 games are region free. As long as your TV can handle it, you'll be able to find a way to play them.

Yeah i know.Personally i don't have a problem with importing games (i'm currently playing my Asian copy of Demon's Souls which i bought before the NA release was announced) but i know many people who are really interested in those games but for some reason they are afraid to import.And i can't blame them especially since imports usually cost much more than domestic versions.:/
I think the PS3 needs games like these to be available in all regions.

Me too! Although I probably wouldn't have done it if it wasn't completely in English.

Which is why I really hope this happens:

Leaked Documents Discuss PSN Imports, Date PS3 Motion Control - PS3 - Kotaku

I've been talking about it for a while now so I doubt it's going to happen anytime soon but it would be an incredible solution to the cost of localization, and the cost of importing.

Europe gets 3D Dot Game Heroes

And simultaneously with the NA release!

This game come sout in May right? i need anothe rone of those old classic Zelda like games. My gosh are those the best!

[JKTrix]

Darksiders is apparently a pretty good Zelda game.

[Dignified Pauper]

I think this game looks absolutely amazing.

[NeoCracker]

Yeah, for all the people sayign it's going to be a lot like the old Zelda games, yes. It is. Atlus said so themselves. It's very specifically being built as a HOmage to Zelda (Mind you, it's very odd that a homage to a Nintendo title is PS3 only, but I digress). For the most part it's suppose to play like the old Zelda games, though they added in things like being able to custumize your blade more, by changing the length. That was one example listed in Game Informer anyway.

I image the pure Homage nature of the game to be the reason it's not coming out full price, or at least part of the reason. :P

It's a nice game to play and it's interesting. i really enjoyed it

1up.com is doing a 'GameNight' livestream of this game tonight. Starts in like 3 minutes.

Game Night with 3D Dot Game Heroes Coming Soon

Ok, after watching the first bit, I know I'm going to get this. It looks like just pure, ridiculous, fun.

I can't believe they had that much trouble getting to the first boss though. I thought it was fairly obvious what they had to do.

I've been following this game since the first screenshots appeared for it and I've been DROLLING ever since. (Yet somehow missed this thread all together.)

This is the sort of gutsy move that Nintendo would be way too afraid to make. In a lot of ways this game is more Zelda than some of the other more recent Zelda games. Which is sad. And I love that you can build your own hero . . . so of course I'll be building the original Legend of Zelda Link. :P

The only problem: I don't have a PS3. I've only got a PS2. I guess I'm really going to have to trade it in and pay an absurd amount for the PS3 JUST for this game. Argh. I wish it was for the Wii.

[Dignified Pauper]

The PS3 is not an absurd amount of money now, nor was it ever. It was precisely the right price each time the price was changed to reflect the demand. Each system, at one point, cost 900 to make. It was ridiculous the amount of money that Sony was bleeding. NOW they are finally becoming profitable with the PS3 again.

Don't trade it in. One of the things they did to make the PS3 more affordable was drop backwards compatability with PS2 games.

[Yeargdribble]

I'm looking forward to this so much, but I've got a chip on my shoulder still about consistency within the game criticism world.

"3D Dot Game Heroes absolutely blatantly rips off Zelda, a beloved franchise, but that's okay!!"

"Dante's Inferno absolutely blatantly rips off GoW, a beloved franchise. What s steaming pile of sh*t that game is."
