Away: Shuffle Dungeon in motion

For a game whose central gimmick is a constantly-moving environment, video seems like a natural fit for promotional materials for Away: Shuffle Dungeon. It's easier to explain the "shuffling" of the dungeons by just showing you. And yet there really haven't been many trailers for Mistwalker and Artoon's collaboration.
This one features a bit of everything: cutscenes, battling, and lots of walking around in dungeons that get all messed up before your eyes. The boss battles look particularly epic, with the camera zoomed in and panned down for a more cinematic perspective. It's like the game shuffles between a Zelda: A Link to the Past look and an Ocarina of Time look.

Looks interesting, except the characters look rather like Lego dolls with this low-power 3D.

I must be the only person in the world who loves the N64 style 3-D.
But then I think that goofy (or "stylized") games are more fun than realistically done ones. And I already know I'm the only person who isn't 5 years old that thinks that.

Did the main character run out of a microwave?
If you get to microwave the bad guys, they have me sold.

It's looking good, I'm definitely going pick it up eventually (after its released). Now if only we could get ASH over here. ^^

true, but I rather have an english version, so I can actually understand what is going on.

ASH has been licensed by Nintendo. Supposedly, it's coming this year.

ASH has been rated by the ESRB as Everyone 10+ and the publisher is listed as Nintendo, but there hasn't actually been an official announcement yet of the game's American release. I was hoping we would hear something about it at E3, but sadly nothing was mentioned of it.
Hopefully it's just a matter of time before Nintendo name a date.
