Nippon Ichi Software released the first trailer for one of their new upcoming titles: Battle Princess of Arcadia, a 2D side-scrolling JRPG exclusive to the PlayStation 3. The trailer introduces the characters Princess Plume, Larts, and Yuni, showing them in action. Battle Princess of Arcadia has gameplay and graphical similarities to the likes of Vanillaware titles like Odin Sphere and Muramasa, along with others like Dust: An Elysian Tail.
