Known as simply "Estpolis" instead of its usual title "Estpolis Denki". The game will be developed by the original staff and will be published by Square Enix. Details of the game will be available in the next issue of Famitsu (19th November).

For now, you can find an image of the game logo and artwork of Doom Island on Famitsu's site.

Not sure what format the game will be on though.

Famitsu scans are up. You can find them here.

Details:

  • Releases on February 25th
  • Game is an Action RPG
  • Uses 3D Polygons
  • Producer is Hajime Kojima
  • Includes voice acting

The game is apparently a pseudo-remake of Lufia II. It features the same cast of characters, Maxim, Selen(a), etc. However, the characters and setting are slightly different, and there's a larger focus on the "Wave Motion Device" (I'm not entirely sure what this is, since the scans are too small).

There's some artwork of Maxim fighting Gadess, Selena and some others.

Nice, the game looks cool : o

Also, did I just see Tia with red/brown hair? o__o

On a related note, so it was true that the official site opens today. There's not much there that isn't in the movie, but you can choose two more music tracks to listen to also lol at the "Comnig 2010.2.25".

I seem to recall the game scoring 30/40 in Famitsu, is that right? Seems a little lower than I was expecting, but I'll still be getting the game (assuming it gets released in English).

Is that even a serious requirement

Also, you can now sample the OST. Time to go preorder this baby...

Oh God just one week
