3d dot game heroes

hm...I haven't seen anyone make a topic for the game, so...yea >.>.

The game purely takes the classic 8-bit style of old video games and combines them with 3D graphics, the game also copies greatly from Legend of Zelda ( just watch the trailer, you'll see) the game also allows you to edit the character sprites allowing you to play as whatever can fit in the sprite limit, as well as upgrading the sword. the game will be launched on the PS3 in May for both US and EU ( may 11 for US, EU's may release date has not been specified)

Imagine, Sonic 1 made like this, or even Super Mario, or even The legend of Zelda. YES.

It would look cool to see them like that, but I'm sure that this game takes a far amount from LoZ, however seeing the real Zelda games made like that would be amazing,

Why do I see Nintendo going BERSERK about this?

Not like it's a Zelda rip off.

Even tough you have a sword, and it's 2.5D, and dungeons are overhead, and there's magic and probably bombs.

What I don't like is the blur when you get too far from objects and the water. The water is too sparkly, and the blur is fugly.

Exactly! It's Zelda. Have you ever played the older, 2D Zelda games? That's what this is designed to remind you of, gameplay-wise.

2.5D and overhead dungeons remind me of the DS series. :p

I don't imagine there's much anyone can do about it, but those loading screen inbetween parts of the overworld sure are annoying.
