Man, I’m dealing with a wicked nasty case of déjà vu here. I just can’t quite put my finger on why this announcement trailer for 3D Dot Game Heroes feels so familiar.

Maybe it’s something about the orange boulders bouncing down that mountainside. Or perhaps the visual at around :40 of the shield-wielding hero holding his sword aloft. Or maybe it’s that haunting 8-bit flute melody – the tune is so familiar; so much like something I feel like I should know.

I can’t quite nail it down, but I have a feeling this game is going to be epic. In fact, dare I say… legendary?
