A 2d Guy in a 3d World

The game is 3D Dot Game Heroes, managing to be both retro and new at the same time this is an intriging title and at the moment it only seems set for release in japan.

Although one might think this takes the idea of updating a game to 3d but changing nothing a little too  literally. I gotta say the effect is amazing. From reports 3D Dot Game Heroes is an RPG in which the goal is to restore the world back into 2d, presumably so it can fit back on a Nes again.

Still, im not completely convienced by this. Some of the screenshots look fantasic,  again reminding me of the old style games while offering the look, and presumably playstyle, of a mordern rpg but isnt that what the Lego games are? Take a look at some of the other screen shots and the game can look decidedly lazy, is this all there is too it? A standard rpg with interesting graphics, I hope not.

Well I’ll reserve judgement for now and the screenshots do look very neat.
