I played Muramasa: The Demon Blade (also by Vanillaware) for the Wii. For a standard definition game, it had pretty mind-blowing visuals, so I'm excited to see what they can do on a PS3. I just hope the controls are better than Muramasa's though.
I think that'll be a given (and the definitive edition of Muramasa is coming out on the Vita soon) - with real controls.
Definitely looking forward to Dragon's Crown.

It's a beautiful-looking game and a Tower of Doom/Shadow Over Mystara style beat-em-up should be right up my alley, but I really don't care for the character design.
And this is not a "Oh my God, the Sorceress has boobs!" reaction. None of the characters come across as "He/She looks awesome, I want to play that one!" They're all just ridiculous-looking to me.

I'll admit the Sorceress and Amazon caught my eye. I had to check out the trailer because I'm a fan of the previous games produced by the same company. I challenge anyone to find someone who played Odin's Sphere and didn't like it!
Pssst: The bigger the chick's boobs in these games the more likely she'll be a necromancer.
Big Boobs = Fertile = Life Giving = Raise The Dead

Well, everyone's "favorite" retailer, Gamestop, is offering the 64-page artbook with pre-orders. So, I guess I'll have to go put $5 down soon.
Oh and local co-op cements my purchase.

The art book is also available hen you preorder the game on Amazon.com
There are extra color pallets so you can have the same character used multiple times.
I am playing the sorceress first, then the elf, haven't decided who is third.
I wish you could play as the female elf beastmaster and the thief.

This reminds me of Golden Axe (or whatever it was called)from the 80's-90's, just with a lot more polish and sweeter visuals.
The whole game is taken directly from that era; and yes, Golden Axe is one of the inspirations for vanillaware, along with Tower of Doom and Shadows over Mystiara (if this is how it was written).
edit:just read it : the elf has limited arrows ? WT..... we are in the era of UNlimited arrows damn.

They are going back to a retro style of gaming, and limited arrows is with that old school style.
That and you can pick up more arrows along the way.
