Forums - Sony Discussion - The Official 3D Dot Game Heroes Thread

Euphoria14 on 29 October 2009

I wish I could go to one of these. The special disc is something I would really want.

From Software detailed yesterday a retail tour for 3D Dot Game Heroes. The game -- or elements thereof -- will appear aroundTokyo and Osaka according to the following schedule:

  • 10/31: Sofmap GigaStore Nanba (Osaka)
  • 11/3: Messe Sanoh Akihabara (Tokyo)
  • 11/3: Sofmap Akihabara (Tokyo)
  • 11/3: Media Land (Tokyo)
  • 11/3: Ishimaru Denki Akihabara (Tokyo)
  • 11/5: Yodobashi Camera Akihabara (Tokyo)
  • 11/7: Sakuraya Shinjuku (Tokyo)

From will be dispatching those 3D sprite art statues that debuted at the Yokohama demo event. Oddly, they won't appear at all the events. The 10/31 event will see the main Dot Hero character. The 11/3 event will see appearances by Spelunker. The launch day Yodobashi event will feature appearances by both characters.

If you happen to be at the 11/3 events when Spelunker appears, you'll get to try out the game's Spelunker mode. The Spelunker character apparently dies after falling from even the slightest of heights, so this mode should be worth a try.

You can see a video clip of the Spelunker mode at the official site (select the menu option two up from FAQ).

If you choose to attend the Yodobashi event, which I presume is meant to be a launch event of sorts for the game, you'll walk away with a special disc containing limited character data.

How well do you think this game will perform on first day sales in Japan? 100k + ? Is it possible?

To be honest I don't know what kind of sales to expect from this game, I never really thought about it. It is honestly the least of my worries.

I doubt this game cost a whole lot to make though, so as long at it can do around 200k lifetime I am sure it would easily be considered a financial success.

 

If you want to take a stab in the dark though, I would say maybe 20k first day. I really don't know. I think however that the game will have some sort of legs though since it appeals to the aged gamer, who just might look at the back of the box and see how it plays like games of old.

Like in FF? I don't understand exactly what you mean.

It has a minimap on the top right of the screen.

4th Spelunker video now up. This one showcases the game's character creator feature. I love this video's music by the way.

You can build guys, girls, vampires, stick figures, tanks, etc... plus it shows one character which is censored, but anyone who knows what game this pays homage to should easily figure out who it is.

Check it out!
