3D Dot Game Heroes has an North American release date of May 11, 2010 exclusively for PS3! The European date is May 14th. It will be published by the awesome folks at Atlus, who should be receiving major kudos for bringing this amazing looking Zelda homage to Western shores.

If you haven’t heard of this game, then you are definitely in for a treat.

I’ll actually let the funny press release speak for itself:

Atlus 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.

Here is a trailer for this amazing looking game. I can’t wait to play it!

And here is a purely gameplay video. Hopefully epic music has simply yet to be inserted.
