Without the proper prior information, the 3D Dot Game Heroes trailer posted above would seem like a rare miss for Atlus' clever marketing machine. After all, it features a fairly horrific rap about some of the game's bonus modes, most of which have been shoehorned into an incredibly awkward rhyme scheme. However, once you realize the commercial is a parody of this 1986 Legend of Zelda ad, you realize -- well, it's still a trainwreck, but it's a parodical trainwreck.
Better still, it's an appropriate parodical trainwreck, considering the rest of 3D Dot Game Heroes borrows inspiration from Nintendo's emerald-hatted adventurer. And by "borrows," of course, we mean "straight-up plunders."
We can't rap our minds around the latest 3D Dot Game Heroes trailer

"Your parents help you hook it up!"
Now of course, your parents are always calling you to program their remote control or hook up their blu-ray player for them.

Are Atlus games considered rare? Reason is i've never played a Atlus game before and have seen the price that those games go for on Amazon/Ebay. I'll probably end up getting this in a few weeks from Amazon.

Is this game actually out yet? I see people on forums who have copies I pre-ordered but I called the game store and they have yet to get copies in.
