I don't know about anybody else but after I received this annoucement I checked it out and watched the trailer on the official site and what little I seen and info I read on it I am looking forward to this and thought I would share it with you guys here. All info below is credited to AtlusAram via the Atlus forum. IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- NOVEMBER 17, 2009 -- Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today revealed that it has licensed the rights to your childhood memories. Pixels rule again in the ultimate retro action-adventure game 3D Dot Game Heroes for PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, slated to land in North America on May 11, 2010. "The 8- and 16-bit classics many gamers cut their teeth on are magical, down to their blocky sprites and elegantly simple gameplay," mused Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales for Atlus, while twirling his rattail and wearing a poorly coordinated denim-on-denim outfit. "3D Dot Game Heroes captures all of that legendary charm and more, bringing classic visuals, familar sounds, and a grand sense of exploration and discovery into stunning next-gen realization, all the while giving countless winks and nudges to the fans those iconic games mean the most to. This is pure action-adventure gaming at its finest, a true love-letter to a time-honored genre," he added while putting baseball cards in the spokes of his 10-speed. Dripping with old school charm, classic gaming pizzazz, and pure retro sexy, 3D Dot Game Heroes is the ultimate homage to the industry's golden era. 3D Dot Game Heroes is scheduled to release on May 11, 2010 with an MSRP of $39.99.

that looks like an amazing game, but sadly i don't plan on buying a ps3....but maybe my friend will buy it for his!!
Its for PS3 i've never recalled Atlus ever doing a multi platform game its either for one console or another but never the same exact game on 2-3 different systems at once. But if there was a port I would see it being on PSP.
obviously the ds cant handle that. But i mean a port(worse graphics etc.) Hang on, what could they do? Make the pixels BIGGER??
Iam looking forward for this game ever since I saw a trailer ( the game looks and plays like Zelda but for a SONY console + there is spelunker among the characters in the game ) PS: I haven't played a single Zelda game in my life
Oh if nobody has figured it out already you can click on the < or > where the trailer shows to see more screen shots. I read somewhere it is compared to the original Legend of Zelda on NES/Famicom Here is some more info on it as well. IGN Preview Playstation Blog The ability to create your own character model with a 3D sprite editor has me sold it will be like a virtual LEGO set
Ps3 exclusive dude $40 is a great price for this game! most new games are $60. And it looks fun as hell
We don't know the content of the game yet, how can you judge if it's worth 15 dollars yet? Some people are saying the game is around 25 hours, this is if you like to explore and level up your sword. That's totally worth the 40$, it's even worth 60$ if it's that long.
