Atlus press releases are by far my favorite to read.

3D Dot Game Heroes is looking closer now that we’re finally in 2010, and this video vignette assures the expectant adventurer a boost in confidence for venturing through Dotnia.

The implementation of a blacksmith will lend soon-to-be heroes a vote of confidence with “Natural Sword Enhancement”, sans any possible side effects.

Take a look at the sword enlargement in the video below. You can already see the change in the hero’s demeanor after he upgrades his sword.

About 3D Dot Game Heroes

A long, long time ago, the Dark King Onyx brought an age of darkness upon Dotnia Kingdom. Only by the bravery of a hero with a legendary sword was Onyx sealed in an orb, restoring peace to the world. But Fuelle, a powerful Dark Bishop, has stolen the orb, and with it, peace. Dotnia requires a hero once more! Can you live up to the legend?
