Atlus will be publishing.

Atlus is such a quality publisher. They put out so much good stuff. They are just about the only publisher where I regularly check out their website just to see what new things they have coming out.

This game looks great.

Join the Faithful mailing list. Every announcement goes out on it, so you'll never miss hearing about some awesome new game getting localized.

Indeed, especially since Atlus games are typically the ones you want to buy sooner rather than later. Because one, Atlus games go out of stock quick, but more importantly, atlus games almost always come with some totally awesome preorder goodie. Devil Summoner 2 plushie, anyone? And it was only $40! If SquareEnix made a game with a big box and a plushie like that, it would likely go for like $80 or so.

Less than a week to go for the US, and just 8 days for Europe! Who's looking forward to it?

I have soiled myself in anticipation.

I've been put off by very mixed reviews. I'll wait until you guys have got it to see whether it's worth playing or not.

I'm still excited. Giant Bomb had a very cool video playthru of some section of it that looked appealing to me.

The only negative reviews I've seen involve people who aren't fans of NES Zelda.

So who picked this up today? I have only played long enough to beat the first dungeon but I LOVE THIS GAME!

Its a 100% rip off of NES Zelda, but thats a good thing. I only wish I had enjoyed Twilight Princess this much. Everything is pure nostalgia from graphics(obviously) sounds and gameplay. The dialog is also great and it makes you want to talk to various townsfolk. For example a guy in the castle said, "I just bought this Demons game and its too hard!! Wanna trade?", obviously referencing Demons Souls, another Atlus published game. Also lots of mentions from the switch from 2d to 3d, for easy laughs.

Anyway what do you guys think so far? Seems like it will be short, but oh well. If I get 15 hours gameplay from my $40 purchase Im satisfied.

You seem to be getting the same experience my friend is. My copy arrives tomorrow, so I'll be able to play it then and given impressions while I'm supposed to be working on Thursday.
