New PS3 Exclusive Shots of 3D Dots… Game Heros
After seeing a worldwide release of the title, which has already hit Japan, Atlus U.S.A have today released the first English screenshots and a tempting price for the upcoming release of PS3 exclusive retro action-adventure game, 3D Dot Game Heroes.
3D Dot Game Heroes has received its first localized screens for the western release of the unique exclusive. The title delivers a completely unique art style and bears a resemblance to the Legend of Zelda franchise. The action-adventure game also receives a tempting price of $39.99.
Crystal Murray, PR Specialist at Atlus comments on his delight regarding the screens:
All the talk so far seems to be about 3D Dot Game Heroes’ lush visuals. While the game is indeed a looker, we’re very excited to be able to release the first localized screens of the game, which give the game’s hilarious, tongue-in-cheek script a chance to shine. While players are drowning in a sea of nostalgia thanks to the game’s euphoric old-school gameplay and retro sexy art, they’ll be treated to an endless stream of parodies and witty references to past gaming classics. Of course, as if these weren’t reason enough to give the game a chance when it releases on May 11th, have we mentioned it’s only $39.99?
Check out the screens below:
The title will let loose on the sea of nostalgia on May 11, 2010.

Looks awesome! I can’t wait
I really don’t understand why this looks awesome? I mean, its sorta funny, in a classic, old old old school kinda way. But really, it looks pretty ugly. And it looks like it plays like NES Zelda, which makes me wonder, why wouldn’t I just go play that instead?
£30? Wow that’s cheap! ^_^
I like the whole 3D version of an eight byte game. Gives it a Next gen retro look.
I think this game looks awesome. Old retro zelda in a new 3D look.. whats not to like?
@Cameron – well, if its plays like old zelda, then it sounds like it should be one of those $10 PSN games. When a game is going full retail, but selling for a third of the standard full retail price, its generally a good indication that either some corners were cut somewhere, or its a short game, or that something crucial is lacking. If this is going to be any good it will have to have some actual in depth and clever RPG gameplay. Otherwise, its just a rental to get that retro feeling, then back to the real gaming. Unfortunately so far the only in depth feature I’ve heard about is the character editor, and that really doesn’t do much to get me interested. Any details on the actual gameplay mechanics?
I am stoked that the overseas script wasn’t taken too seriously. That was my last hesitation. Day 1 for me, baby.

Of course it’s going to have “actual in-depth and clever RPG gameplay” — it’s the same makers who did Demon’s Souls! Have some faith!
This game is coming out at the perfect time and at the perfect price. I think more people should be excited about this game than there are currently.
