It's called Dragon Crown. (@3:30)
unsure if it's Vanillware but we got the name.

Fucking nice! more side scrollers!

Thanks for this thread OP, I was hoping I could post about it in a dedicated thread. Your post was highly informative with the video link.

 

[SciencePilot]

Not enough footage! It doesn't look very pretty from what they showed, but I'm sure there's more to it...

 

[taoofjord]

If it's not Vanillaware it's definitely the same artist and animation technology they use.

 

[Instro]

Hm I dunno, Im not sure thats a Vanillaware game.

 

[randomkid]

Those people have to big of thighs to be Vanillaware.

Haha dude did you not play Muramasa? Remember the Thunder Woman boss?

Or even Kamitani's Three Graces pic.

Possibly not safe for work so lemme link it:

NSFW warning.

 

[AwShucks]

I thought Vanillaware as well. I can only hope

 

[Pennywise]

But Vanillaware is not even on the list of developers for the Vita :X

That's what I thought. So it probably isn't Vanillaware, but it still looks interesting nonetheless.

 

[ZealousD]

The hair on the warrior chick is the dead giveaway to me. It's vanillaware.

 

[dallow_bg]

My eyes perked up when I saw this in the stream.

 

[LiK]

yea, hard to say if it's really Vanillaware. they have GKH coming out. don't they sorta do one game at a time? i don't think they would actually be able to do two games at the same time. heard they're pretty small devs.

Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire both came out the same year. A month apart, as a matter of fact.

 

[Tenbatsu]

The Graphic is doable on the PSP.

 

[randomkid]

Also, Dragon Crown/Princess Crown, is that a stretch?

 

[johnsmith]

It's definitely Vanillaware.

 

[dragonlife]

NSFW warning.

He gave one.

 

[Oni Link 666]

I honestly thought that game at the end might have been a Golden Axe game.

They're small but they handle their timing efficiently, like I said George Kamitani isn't even working on GKH. Dragon's Crown sounds like his next game.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Wow that is a cool looking game!

 

[Shaheed79]

I'll eat my vitamins if that isn't Vanillaware. The size of the player sprites are amazingly old school awesome. Beat em up rpg mix like capcoms D&D games.

 

[Dead Prince]

well i wrote NSFW since it's easier to see lol.

 

[LiK]

Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire both came out the same year. A month apart, as a matter of fact.

wow, really? i have both games and didn't notice, lol

 

[Space Runaway]

It's Vanillaware. Also George Kamitani worked on the Capcom D&D games so your comparison works well.

 

[djtiesto]

Easily the highlight of E3 so far for me... can't wait to see more!

 

[thetrin]

Hey, look at that. Looks like I was right. I'm SO getting the game. I <3 VanillaWare.

 

[disappeared]

Thanks to the OP for catching this! I saw it in the montage and it caught my attention.

 

[randomkid]

Now I'm trying to see if there are similarities between the Princess Crown logo and this Dragon Crown one.

I can't believe people think this isn't a Vanillaware game!

Oh also, thanks random mod for the title change.

 

[Blueblur1]

Nice, the game's been identified. I saw it in the trailer and immediately started thinking, "Shit, gotta find out what that was." Definitely looked like a Vanillaware game.

 

[Dambrosi]

Oh, the highlight of Sony's entire E3 conference. Glad you all saw it.

I wasn't sure it was Vanillaware, since they're not on the list of official PSV devs afaik, but I'm willing to bet on it.

Game footage looked sweet, too.

Hell of a troll there but the game looks damn awesome

 

[Songbird]

He did? Mind. Blown.

 

[johnsmith]

Vanillaware isn't on the list of PS Vita devs, but Marvelous is. I'm sure they'll be publishing it.

 

[Kuran]

Really reminded me of the Capcom D&D gems, looked fantastic to me.

 

[Quixzlizx]

I really hope this is indeed a Vanillaware game.

 

[lightless_shado]

If its not vanillaware they're definitely influenced heavily by them.

 

[disappeared]

Really reminded me of the Capcom D&D gems, looked fantastic to me.

That's exactly what I thought. More D&D inspired stuff is always good.

 

[lightless_shado]

apparently it's being published by ignition

[Busaiku]

It's really surprising Vita is getting more 2D games than 3DS.

 

[JWong]

Vanillaware isn't on the list of PS Vita devs, but Marvelous is. I'm sure they'll be publishing it.

I also noticed Kojima Prod. isn't on the list as well.

I'm sure as hell that they are developers.

 

[Neiteio]

Now THIS is a Vita game that looks interesting! As a person who loved Muramasa, I look forward to finding out more.

 

[duckroll]

I wonder if this will be published by Ignition in Japan as well, or if it's a MMV title originally.

 

[jackdoe]

I also noticed Kojima Prod. isn't on the list as well.

They are under the umbrella known as Konami.

 

[Takao]

Ignition?

Oh I'm scared now.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice to see that after El Shaddai

 

[jj984jj]

Not happy about Ignition. :\

It's really surprising Vita is getting more 2D games than 3DS.

I'm not, I think it was said that it's easier to do the 3D effect with polygons since 2D requires multiple layers to pull it off.

 

[Jomjom]

A Vanillaware game at launch would single-handedly make the PSV launch a success in my eyes.

 

[johnsmith]

Lets pray Ignition does a better job on this than they did with Arc Rise Fantasia.

 

[duckroll]

If this was trademarked back in 2009, I wonder if it was originally planned for the PSP or a console...
