Glory of Heracles Message Board

#nintendo Glory of Heracles is a DS game that, while out in Japan since 2008, was only just released in the US, and won't be out in Europe for weeks. So Nintendo is still advertising. Advertising, and covering up butts. More »

A not so glorious role-playing game.

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… At the very least, Glory of Heracles is yet another enjoyable title to add to the ever-increasing DS line of RPGS and that’s certainly not a bad thing.

Glory is now yours to claim on the Nintendo DS!

Unleash mystical weapons and powers on the mythological foes of Heracles on the Nintendo DS.

Does this mythological RPG achieve godly standards? We put it to the test in this video review.

Nintendo got Paon's Glory of Heracles into my house the same way the Greeks got soldiers into Troy: with a Trojan Horse. Although this horse was in a box, so the elaborate ruse really didn't play into my acceptance of the item. And thankfully, the cartridge didn't murder me after emerging. As has become the company's custom of late, Nintendo packaged its review copy of Glory of Heracles cutely, with the cartridge hidden away inside the papercraft horse. Along with the horse and the empty game case, Nintendo sent a scroll -- a letter from the immortal Greek demigod himself, exhorting us to retrieve the cartridge and help him regain his memories. Embark upon a grand looking-at-pictures adventure in our gallery. Does anyone else find it hilarious and kind of adorable to imagine Nintendo PR staff carefully cutting, folding and gluing a bunch of papercraft horses?

Nintendo's first release of 2010 will also be the first American appearance of Japan's long-running "Heracles no Eikō" series. Get a head start on its history here.

Take a look at what will be sitting on store shelves on January 18.

We'd understand if you've forgotten about Glory of Heracles: Nintendo hasn't mentioned the Paon-developed RPG since surreptitiously adding it to its E3 release list. Nintendo just announced that the DS game will arrive in North America on January 18.This will be the first game in the series to be released outside of Japan, and the first to be made without Data East (from which the staff of developer Paon originates). It's an RPG set in a (more) fictionalized version of the Greek mythological tradition, with a plot written by Final Fantasy's Kazushige Nojima. Now if Nintendo would fill us in on some more of its E3 question marks, like Line Attack Heroes and the amazing WarioWare DIY, that would be, well, glorious.

Nintendo will start the new year off with a Japanese import.
