The game play and visuals are too close to be coincidental, but then the music totally seals the deal: From Software’s latest is an homage of the highest order to the Legend of Zelda.
Some lesser blogs have fingered this PSN exclusive as a knock-off, but then it has such a distinct twist, I don’t think it could be qualified as such. Also its too deliberate, it would be like saying Weird Al knocks off Michael Jackson.

If anything its knocking off Super Paper Mario for taking the classic 2D gameplay into a bizarre interpretation of the 3rd dimension!

It launches November 5th on PS3 in Japan, hopefully a global release won’t be far behind.

Gotta love the 8-bit era of gaming. Playing the old NES brings back so many classic memories. Remember using the drift technique in Rally King to make it through to the end of the race? Or how about seeing if you could make it to level 64 in Cosmic Gate? Or how about when you finally defeated that mega-tough guardian in Guadia Quest after some serious level grinding? What’s that? You don’t remember any of those games? Good. There is a reason for that (besides me calling you a liar if you said yes). Those games, along with 5 others, are retro-style games created for this cart. While they have 8-bit NES looks, rest assured, they are as current as Gears of War or Halo.

This may not be new info, but it was new to me. GI Joe Resolute, the micro-series that aired on Cartoon Network as a build up to the hype of the live-action movie, will be making its DVD debut on November 3, 2009. If you are like me, and completely missed the airring, this is your chance to find out what happened.
