Here's the latest trailer for Namco Bandai's Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom. The game has been written off by some as a "blatant rip-off" of Team ICO's work, but I think people who believe that are appalling, so let us pay them no mind.
The game looks beautiful, and I think it'll be a really underrated classic. It's out on November 30, which I fear is a death-knell for the title, but who knows? Maybe it'll surprise us all and do really well. I certainly hope it finds some measure of success.

What didn't you like about them? Not saying you're wrong, but I thought they were fine.
if this game ends up not being shit (not saying it will be), I will buy it.
I hope so. I freaking loved Nier.
It's reminiscent of The Saboteur being unceremoniously pushed onto shelves seven days into December, last year. No one beyond the hardcore had a clue that it existed.
