I mentioned last week in my hands-on with 3D Dot Game Heroes that the game makes its loading sequences a little more bearable by showing 3D sprite images parodying old games. Wondering what these scenes look like?

We finally have our first look thanks to the game's second demo session. Held today at From's Shinjuku headquarters, this session was limited to just 10 people/pairs who'd won an advanced drawing. Players were allowed to sample the game for three hours.

Some brought cameras, and this is the result, as posted at 2channel, and then Hachimaki.

Do you recognize any of these? There's a Torunkeo from Dragon Quest in there. There are lots of other Dragon Quest images as well. Some see Captain Tsubasa II's cover. There appears to be a Street Fighter (at least the guy in front looks like Ryu).

Any help?

Check out the Hachimaki story for a look at the character creation mode and the photo mode.
