* From the guys behind Fire Emblem
* "Fighting force created by Abraham Lincoln"
* Lovecraftian aliens
* Jack Kirby-inspired character designs
* High-secrecy presentation

Sounds freaking awesome Cool

Although that steam-powered fighter part kinda reminds me of... Sakura Wars?

I'm sold on those Lovecraftian aliens, I like eldrich type creatures, which is the reason I liked SMT IV, it had quite a few eldrich type demons.

This is a first Party Nintendo game, Demonbane is a Visual novel with lots of sex. That is so incredibly unlikely I have no effective analogy to offer. Taking inspiration from lovecraft, something that happens fairly often, does not automatically link things together.

Sounds like a Fire Emblem/Valkyria Chronicles/Attack on Titan cross-over xD

Looking forward to it, though I'd rather have a new Fire Emblem because the last one was just awesome. Well, maybe later^^

They're now too busy complaining about no MM remake or Metroid sequel. When will they make up their minds?

This sounds awesome. One question, can we play as Abraham Lincoln in this game?

Indeed; this is why I appreciate what Crispin Freeman said during this past Anime Central "People don't KNOW what they want aside from wanting you to be brilliant."

I agree, but it would be cool to see maybe a demonbane mecha make a cameo appearance.

Might as well ask them to include J. W. Booth as secret boss! Wink
