3D Dot Game Heroes—a PS3 title that’s already out in Japan and coming to North America in May—celebrates an 8-bit 3D aesthetic not unlike the strange alternate universe I described above. But on top of that, its built-in sprite editor allowed Game Informer’s Tim Turi to take the game to its natural conclusion by skinning the game with Link and adding a remix of Zelda’s score.
The effect? Well if you can articulate it more elegantly than my pseudo-Sliders explanation, go ahead. [Game Informer via Joystiq]
