Code of Princess (Basically Guardian Heroes 3)

So there was some talk of this in another thread, but it should probably have its own at some point.

The team for this game includes Tetsuhiko Kikuchi (the director/writer/character designer/everything) from Guardian Heroes as well as Masaki Ukyo, GH's main programmer, and they're not making much effort to hide their influences. The characters are based on a line of figures or something, but Kikuchi is doing the enemy character design and even the sets look ripped right out of GH.

I know Treasure has also talked about doing a sequel to GH, and it seems like an odd reversal of policy for them to do that without Kikuchi, so this is kind of an interesting development.

There's lots of potential here. It'll be especially to see how this stacks up to a new Treasure game if they decide to do one.

Hey it's gotta be better than Guardian Heroes Advance. Right?

If they have time to finish it, I'm sure. AGH always had potential but the hardware limitations and short dev cycle killed it.

Have you played anything Treasure has put out in like the last 3 years? Bangai-O HD and Sin and Punishment are absolutely top-notch games. Stretch Panic was a long time ago, man.
