3D Dot Game Heroes: Demo Impressions

Game and Player sat in on a web demo and got a look at Atlus’ North American release of 3D Dot Game Heroes.

At just under $40, the price point of 3D Dot Game Heroes is attractive; yet Atlus is still bold to market homage in a North American boxed retail release. Nostalgia exalts times and activities, not necessarily an extended visit; let alone a return.

Will players devote a couple of weeks to a parody or would they rather devote just one Saturday afternoon to plugging in the old console and reliving the real thing? That is Atlus’ challenge, though from the enthusiasm of yesterday’s presentation, no publisher is better suited.
