What happens when Koei starts listening to all the people who complain they've done nothing but rehash the Dynasty Warriors franchise ad nauseam for the last decade? Apparently they give us bizarro LEGO characters reenacting the story of Superman's origin to a light cello accompaniment.

Once I realized this game has nothing to do with Link's horse, the aesthetic became charming. If anything we can be thankful it isn't yet another psuedo-historical hack n' slash, right?

Oh, and to continue my reliance on DC Comics characters as analogues to the adorable action in Opoona, didn't the evil side of that planet resemble Apokolips? My knowledge of the universe is limited strictly to the Bruce Timm cartoons of the 90s, but in between Sapphic Harley Quinn/Poison Ivy fantasies, I'm pretty sure my adolescent mind retained some vague idea of what Darkseid's homeworld looked like. Sure, math is important, and reading is fundamental, but if you don't remember the trivial details of cartoons you watched as a twelve-year-old, you'll never amount to anything.

I'd feel justified in complaining about you doing this despite me saying I was going to do it if I hadn't claimed the vid last night and forgotten about it all day today.

Anyway, I've been watching this game since it was announced ages ago, looks like it could be very interesting. Apparently it's designed to be played completely one handed, so you can wank at the same time.

Well, that's certainly...interesting. A good refresher from Dynasty Warriors, at least.

this game looks interesting but i have vowed to only purchase nintendo games for wii (for the most part). i have been hurt far to many times by those naughty wii 3rd party developers.

a demo download channel might change my mind ninentdo! ::wink wink::

This game looks to be shaping up very well. Kudos, Koei.

this and King Story are looking good. really good. a game by Dragon Quest people is always interesting. just the jobs (detective, rescuer, idol) sound interesting! also! the same people doing the Dragon Quest DS remakes.
