Cool your importing jets, patient PlayStation 3 owners. Silicon Software and From Software's blocky retro adventure game 3D Dot Game Heroes is coming to North America, hopefully bringing the Best Loading Screens Ever with it.

Says who? Says the official PlayStation Twitter account, writing today "No need to import - 3D Dot Game Heroes for PS3 is DEFINITELY coming to NA! Spread the word, more to come."

3D Dot Game Heroes is scheduled to hit Japan next week.

We'd consider our part—spreading the word—done. We would expect a similar courtesy, explaining just which publisher will be bringing the game to North American PS3s and when, to be performed with dizzying speed and zeal. Thank you in advance.

I guess Sony is publishing in the West then? They probably regret letting Demon's Souls go, and are swiping this up, hoping it'll have similar impact.

So... does that mean Demons Souls could very well end up on the 360 or PC?

I hope it will be available in Europe soon

I don't see the connection.

OT: Very nice to hear, though apparently it isn't SCEA that is publishing it, which I think is a mistake on their part.  Probably Atlus again like it was for Demon's Souls.

Meaning?

YAY!

Someone I know will be very happy.

Well this makes me a happy boy...

Yes!
I might still import though. No idea when they are going to release it in the states

hmm..

I might still import this as it seems to be in kana and without kanji, so it would be a good kana training (and I won't have to fear not understanding them).
