<a href="http://joystiq.com/game/halfminute-hero-super-mega-neo-climax"><em>Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax</em></a> takes the gameplay of a traditional JRPG, and squeezes it all into 30-second chunks. Inspired by this feat of game design magic, I decided to see if I could fit my whole review into 30 seconds as well.<br />

The <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/28/half-minute-hero-coming-to-xbla-as-super-mega-neo-climax-editi/">XBLA version</a> of <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/half-minute-hero"><em>Half-Minute Hero</em></a> changes the original beyond cutting it down to all "Hero 30" mode and adding a crazy new name. As revealed in screens on the newly launched website, <em>Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax</em> gives players the option to replace the retro-ish pixelated look with a new high-res style that renders all the characters as adorable, circle-faced sprites. The "classic" look will also be available.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.siliconera.com/2011/05/26/half-minute-hero-super-mega-neo-climaxs-new-look-for-xbox-360/">Siliconera</a> reports that there are 62 new missions in the XBLA version, and describes the online mode as a "race against other players to save the world." Like any part of this game isn't a race! <em>Super Mega Neo Climax</em> will be out June 29.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/half-minute-hero-super-mega-neo-climax-xbla/">Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax (XBLA)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/half-minute-hero-super-mega-neo-climax-xbla/#4165849"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/05/image1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/half-minute-hero-super-mega-neo-climax-xbla/#4165850"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/05/image2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/half-minute-hero-super-mega-neo-climax-xbla/#4165851"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/05/image3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/half-minute-hero-super-mega-neo-climax-xbla/#4165852"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/05/image4_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/half-minute-hero-super-mega-neo-climax-xbla/#4165853"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/05/image5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/26/half-minute-hero-xblas-optional-hd-look-revealed/">Half-Minute Hero XBLA's optional HD look revealed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 26 May 2011 17:30:00 EST.
