Before I ditch the rest of my workday to do this (sorry Nick and Niero!) I wanted to share with you the first ten minutes of Atlus' upcoming PS3 release, 3D Dot Game Heroes.
Before you say it, I'll interject that there's really nothing in this ten minutes of play that I'd call a spoiler, so don't worry about this TMT ruining things for you. I skipped the character editor in the video, as Jim has that covered. Jumping right in was better for me, as I was too excited to make anything decent.
God, this game is beautiful. Screenshots and videos (I know, I'm sorry) are one thing, but seeing this in action, in high-definition, is another. Even more than that, it's a lot of fun. I've been playing it non-stop since it came in. You'll see, come May 11th.
Look for our preview very soon, and our review closer to release date.

Oh well, looks fantastic anyways.
Also, is it just me, or does the music sound vaguely Pokémon-esque?
And whoa, what's up with this album option in the menu? Does it integrate your pictures into the game somehow, or is that just an album of screen shots from the game?
It looks really freakin' good, I'm digging the style a lot! It looks like what would happen if they made the original Zelda 3D, sans the actual 3D dots. Though I have to ask, what's up with the sword getting mega huge when you use it?
I really wish I wasn't poor.
You're a bastard

-Those of us who have to wait until May
I don't know you.
But I will.
When we meet.
Cause this game.
It needs me.
Give my back my game.
You lucky, lucky bastard.
This game is fucking amazing.
No need to get your panties in a bunch. Not everyone has money for multiple console's.
The game is supposed to look pixellated!
We get it, you don't like the game. You can stop now.
What cruel irony is this.
On the serious side...I'm not sure I like the viewing angle or the level of detail.
PLEASE.
Damn, May is so far awaaaaaaaaaay!
