Majesco's New Nintendo Games @ E3 2008: Away: Shuffle Dungeon
Jul. 24
The Lowdown: As the hero Sword, you must rescue all the people kidnapped from your village and solve the mystery of Away, the evil force responsible for the disappearances. Repopulate your town by finding new dungeons and rescuing the people trapped inside, which unlocks new shops and town locations. But you've got to move quickly, as the dungeon "shuffles" to put you and survivors in danger the longer you linger inside. Collect Fupongs inside the dungeon to unleash elemental magic. Team up with a friend in the co-op Raid Battle Mode to unlock special equipment you can then use in your single-player game.
The Hype: Created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, with character designs by Naoto Oshima and music by Nobuo Uematsu, Away represents an all-star team of video game design with great new mechanics to explore.
The Snark: You could say the same about Blue Dragon, too, but it didn't stop that game from being really boring.
Enjoy some great screens and a bit of character art behind the cut.

Wait, the main Character's name is SWORD! Gawd...
But bad names aside, I've been seeing and hearing lots of good stuff about this game, and truely hope this doesn't go the way of Blue Dragon, i.e. the game was boring and still got a questionable Anime Spin-Off.
