Trailer

Remember those Dungeons & Dragons beat-em-ups that were in the arcades? Its like that, but with gorgeous Vanillaware art and animation. For PS3 and Vita.

Beautiful!! That really looks like a HD version of D&D Shadow Over Mystara! I'm anxious.

[Quemaqua]

Caaan't waaait!

[K-man]

Do like, will purchase.

Some extra infos.

[idolminds]

Hey dudes. Preorders are up on Amazon.

PS3
Vita

$29.99 each. Preorder price guarantee so if it goes lower you are good, and if it goes higher you still get it for $30.

[Quemaqua]

Sexiness!

Update!

Atlus is going to publish. It wont be out til 2013.

Also, some bad news

When we took over the reins, we realized that a lot of the information made available to the public was ambitious and unfounded conjecture. The release timing, the pricing, and many of the features detailed for fans and members of the press were simply unknowable at the time they were disseminated (and frankly we were quite shocked to find out that many of the details were made public unbeknownst to even the developers).

It’s still way too early in development to be talking about specifics, but we can say that the game simply cannot retail for $29.99. We don’t know where that price point came from, but it is a logistical impossibility. We’re all gamers and we all wished it could be so, but it would have essentially destroyed any chance for profitability.

[K-man]

You know...  I'm cool with that.  I know I've repeatedly stated that every company's number one concern is making money, but Atlus is much more generous than others when it comes to their fans.  And although it sucks, I appreciate them being straightforward about the price point.

God I love the art on that. Looking so forward to it. Reminds me also that I need to finish up Princess Crown, though that will at this point never happen since I don't have a working hacked PSP anymore, not to mention the time for all the reading/translating, and actually dig into Odin Sphere, which I still haven't since I haven't had access to my PS2 games for forever.

A year later, the Sorceress still excites me.

[TheOtherBelmont]

Hmm, that trailer says its coming out in Japan on July 25th.  I wonder if the August US release is still happening or not.
