From Software's delicious looking 3D Dot Game Heroes won't be skimping on the humor when it finally releases. Right down to the loading screens, the game is steeped in self-referential silliness, as these new images from Andria Sang demonstrate.
The game's loading screens are images of various retro games re-imagined in the 3D Dot Game Heroes art style. You should be able to spot Castlevania and Dragon Quest in there, but what else can you see? Some of these looks really obscure, so I invite you all to take a look at the various screens and try to work out what game From Software is referencing.
In the meantime, I will continue to sit and wait with an impatiently tapping foot as I anticipate news of the game's Western release. Atlus, I'm looking in your direction. Make it happen.

I can't recognize any except Zelda and Castlevania. I's not kewlz.
thank you.
Also Over-Coverage of Bayonetta= even less interest in a mediocre looking game.
Over-Coverage of PSPGo's problems= who cares anymore?
Is it killing you? Really? Seriously?
People complaining about over-coverage is almost as bad as bitching about bitching. Disinterest would theorectically redirect you to something you care about. Right? So why even bring it up? Go read something else.
Speak for yourself. I don't see how over coverage of an INTERESTING game makes it less interesting. Maybe because you're tired of hearing about it, doesn't mean others are. If this turns out a sleeper hit and doesn't sell as well as it should, like Valkyria Chronicles, I'll blame you.
Tower of Druaga? +1 to them.
I am still getting it!

Remember when you argued that your blog post wasn't breaking the site's rules, then I complimented your website, and kindly showed you that you were? I do. What a dick way to pay me back.

The irony.
Thanks, FoxMarduk!!!
I think that’s Legacy of the Wizard for the NES

I used to play that game a lot when I was a kid so it was the first thing to pop in my mind, but maybe I’m wrong.
Here is a pic of the son, he was the knight.

And I just made an account to say that :/
Agreed. I'll eat my own words. Tried to make a point and got roused up.
