Konami has shared the first teaser trailer for Beyond the Labyrinth. The trailer is mostly text, but it’s also the first look at the game in motion, so it’s worth a watch. The game will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show, so we can expect to see more of it soon. What do you think of it so far?

  • Dae

    I really really want this game. Yeah.

      I Translated and threw annotations for those who want to know whats going on in the PV

      I’ll throw this up top to be seen XD

    • http://www.youtube.com/user/sa66o6?feature=mhum sa66o6

      Thanks.

    • Nutmeg

      Me too. Here’s hoping that the North American version will have speaking too but in English with a voice that I can actually listen to for more than five seconds without losing my sanity.

  • Turt

    I had doubts about this game at first. But after seeing how beautiful this game is in motion i think I will definitely buy it.

  • Tim

    hmmm….well not much to think about..it looks nice. i probably want it, but what it is supposed to be about. can’t wait to see some gameplay of it, than i will certainly know if i want this game or not

  • lewis

    no hd that sucks but cool trailer and the character is so talkative

    • Matt

      HD? The 3ds top screen is 240p. That’s a long ways away from 720p or 1080p.

    • Rej

      @matt maybe he’s talking about hd trailer of Beyond the Labyrinth.

    • mr koolaid

      the 3DS top screen is at a 480p resolution. The bottom screen is 240p

    • http://aksoft.us DaManWitDaPlan

      @koolaid – Wrong. Top screen is 800×240 (400×240 for each eye). Bottom screen is 320×240. They’re both technically 240p at different aspect ratios.

  • Acecombat

    Certainly looks as good as ever, may have to pick this up when it comes out.

  • FinDefaulted

    Man, I really want this in Japanese, but my console is european… Wonder if it would have Japanese audio as choosable option?

    • Oscar Figueroa

      My exactly thought, actually it would be very cool if every game has that option.

    • http://youtube.com/khfanlizzie lizzie1238

      Some games do, so who knows?

  • Ap0c

    i hate those childisch voices of those chinees girls.

    • Sarah

      Japanese. Get it right.

      Or if you’re going to get it wrong, at least capitalize and spell “Chinese” correctly.

    • Exlon

      They’re Japanese, silly. You may hate those CHILDISH voices, but one, Asian girls tend to have higher voices and FYI? You can’t even spell. And you obviously don’t know the difference between Asian languages.

    • http://youtube.com/khfanlizzie lizzie1238

      I actually kind of like the girl’s voice. And I feel like I’ve heard it before somewhere…

    • Potato

      this guy sounds like troll

    • http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/bags/e8da/ ケヴィン

      かわいい! i love her voice! i hope thay dont dub it for NA.

    • Crazyhobo100

      @Potato
      I’ve read his previous comments and he’s a total troll

    • Ap0c

      If you think i sound like i troll that is your probkem. People whining about spelling. I am dutch so in my country i spell it like Chinees. I made the mistake because i typed mindless but when i try a bit harder i can spell proper english. Now you try to spell proper dutch you stupid ignorant bastard kids.

    • Sarah

      Ap0c, quit acting like a kid will you . Pick on ppl your own size you german bastard ;p

  • Ap0c

    So what is the game actually? A girl with an anoying voice that can’t stand on here feet. Our goal is to try and make her walk like a normal human being? :S

    • why capcom why?!

      probably.

    • http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/bags/e8da/ ケヴィン

      Ap0cのばか!!!

    • Captain Falcon

      Ap0c, you really need to shutup.

    • Nutmeg

      Actually the first couple times I watched the video I found her voice pretty annoying, but now I’m kind of warming up to it. :)

    • Sarah

      TROLL!

    • Ap0c

      So what you gonna do about it? To all, i an be your daddy on age. STFU, i say what i want, this game is shit. I wait for Res Revelations, Mario land 3D and a lot more but this game is shit. Now you little bitches can’t tell me to shut up because you won’t tell your father to shut up and listen. It’s the other way around, deal with it.

    • Michael

      Someone please ban him.

    • Sarah

      oooooh, big man hiding behind the internet forums. yeah you’re overcompensating for something.

    • Sarah

      he says what he wants here because he can’t get away with it in real life. Big, tough man on the internet; punk pushover in real life. It’s ok homie we understand :)

    • Sarah

      and he gets off on calling ppl “younger” than him little bitches and imposing his non existing authority. What a wonderful role model you are :p and you’re not our “daddy”, so yeah, shut the HELL UP! Everyone’s fine and you come stirring shit on a board. Act you’re age gramps

  • Sarah

    Wasn’t expecting her to be a klutz. I thought maybe she’d be a bit more mysterious… I think it’s kind of funny. ^_^

    Still wish this trailer had shown more, but that’s okay.

    • Symbol de Au

      I always thought the game itself was the most mysterious.

    • Zack Zion

      @Ap0c lol you should be a developer

    • http://youtube.com/khfanlizzie lizzie1238

      @Zack I think you replied under the wrong comment lol

    • Zack Zion

      ow your right i did oops

  • Ios Dawn

    Wow… That falling animation was amazing. Looks pretty good… But anybody know what this game is about, or anything about the gameplay.

    • WingedOne

      It’s about a girl and a labyrinth… or something.

  • daniel

    shit i am at school cant watch videos untill when i go to my houseeee whyyyyy!!!!! wanna watcch it

  • sawada

    i like the art style..
    it is more beautiful than i expected

  • WingedOne

    Anyone have a translation? I’m curious about what the text and girl are saying.

    • Samurai

      top dude lol look under the first comment

  • Keith

    So can’t wait to get my hands on this beautiful piece of software. :D Its been one of my most anticipated 3DS titles since it was first announced. lol.

  • Lia

    Looks great. Will wait for some videos of the gameplay but I think I’m pretty much getting this.

    I hope the Japanese audio with subtitles will be an option.

    • stu

      Anyone notice how she “moved” the camera and that she constantly looked directly into the camera?

      I’d put money down that she is filming/narrating her adventure.

    • Hitokiri_Ace

      Pretty sure you are just playing as a second person, so I’ll take your money now :) On account of her asking if she can be the leader/captain and such.

    • Ran

      I’m in the middle of doing translations for it, but that will be ur face she moves. U are helping her move thru the labyrinth

  • http://youtube.com/khfanlizzie lizzie1238

    Can anyone translate? Both the text and what the girl is saying would be nice, please.

    • [V]ark

      not sure about everything but:
      V = voice | T = text | = not sure

      V: moshi moshi (hello).
      T: dareka yonnderu? (are you calling someone?)
      V: dareka imasenka? (is anyone there?)
      T: yappari, dareka yonnderu yone? (you’re calling someone after all, right?)
      V: saa, hayaku ikou (C’mon, let’s go)
      T: dokohe? (where to?)
      V: sorejya, shuppatsu! (Thats it, we’re going!)
      T: dakara, dokohe ikuno? (As I was saying, where are we going to?)
      V: kokokara sakki ni ikesoudayou (I’ll be going on first from here).
      T: unn, dokohe? (Yeah, where to?)
      V: shikatagani shine (something can’t be helped).
      T: a, soreha hon(?) (ah, that’s true (?))
      V: mite,mite, ueni suzuku michi ga aruyo (look,look, above is a way that goes on).
      T: tonikaku, kouka? (anyway, shall we go? )
      —trailer start—-

      some things she sais:
      - lots of ‘lets go’ things… :P
      -yu..yureteru (it’s , it’s shaking.)
      -taichou ha watashi de iiyoune? (It’s okay if I’m the captain/leader right?)

      —trailer end—

    • [V]ark

      Hmm, guess the ‘not sure’ symbol didn’t work out. :P
      It was between ””
      (left, right arrowhead)

    • Hitokiri_Ace

      Spot on as far as i can tell Mark, nicely done.

    • Ran

      Not bad, bits here and there are off, and with the subject out of context it makes for some guessing. Like ‘dareka yonderu?’ since object is gone, may seem like saying the object is ‘dareka’ or subject is, but the object that is excluded is “me”, so its “someones calling me?” and its a question to himself.

      or ‘Nayandeitemo shikata ga nai shine’ missed the top, and the kanji was “A, sore DAIJI”. stuff like that.

      Youtube is upping my vid, taking forever so can’t add mine I did yet. So see them then.

    • Ran

      can compare them there*
      didnt mean to make it sound mean XD
      Youtube is just sitting there saying my vid is processing for like the past 15mins, for a 1 min video XD

    • http://youtube.com/khfanlizzie lizzie1238

      Thanks for the translations :)

  • StarTropics

    If this game gets localized for Noth America, I kind of want Stephanie Mills(Lindsay from TD, Vana from Sidekick, Chan Lee from Bakugan) to do her voice. But we’ll probably get some over used american voice actress…….

    • StarTropics

      Whats wrong with dubs, I’m an up and coming voice actor myself(though I probably won’t get any anime roll because I’m in Toronto) and when I go to anime conventions, english voice actors are praised. I don’t get it.

    • Hitokiri_Ace

      Dubs are not inherently evil.. I just think they usually do a poor job of conveying characters in english. Some are good, some are bad. Simple. Ne?

    • Yagyuu

      i agree with Hitokiri_Ace…….i just hope they let there be choices of having different dubs options

  • Zack Zion

    graphics are just as good as kid icarus

  • Pisses

    REGION LOCKED!! DAMMIT!

  • Hitokiri_Ace

    Huh, a labyrinth game? Sounds kinda fun! The girl is cute, though, apparently you play as a different character and watch her. Reasoning for that is pretty solid. The girl asks you if it’s ok if she’s the leader, tells you to come on, let’s go.. etc. This game looks beautiful, and interesting. I’m getting it! I just hope for the ability to have original Jap audio :) She sounds great in Jap.

    • Exlon

      Oh so you’re basically your own person within the game and she’s your buddy or whatever? Cool. ^^ That’d be a fun way of making the game personable.

  • MegaRobEXE

    Day 1 buy for me

  • Bryan

    I dont know what shes saying, buuuuuut the game itelf looks complex and beautiful. Makes me wanna buy it.

  • Drewciffer

    lmfao Win.

  • samsamsamsamsam

    2 things. This game looks fantastic. And I feel like it will be Japan only. But well see…

  • KingofIkana

    A few things I’ve noticed – speech is not synched properly with the facial animations as far as I can tell or alternatively the animations are really basic at the moment, at least I hope so. The juxtaposition of the protagonist’s [or rather who I assume her to be] high-pitched, excitable voice does not work well with the lack of emotion shown in the her face. I hope they address these issues because they’re really noticeable and could tarnish what could otherwise be a truly amazing game, especially if voice acting is to be a key plot builder as mannerisms and facial expressions are just as important when expressing one’s self. The game’s score will be produced by Motoi Sakuraba and if you’ve heard any of his works then you’ll be as confident as I am that the soundtrack will sound incredible. I hope this title gets a lot of coverage at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Konami would be wise to release this in the West as would Level-5 with Ni No Kuni [PS3/DS]…

    In the mean time tomorrow can’t come soon enough [Deus Ex: Human Revolution!!!]

    • http://www.YouTube.com/khfanlizzie lizzie1238

      I’m pretty sure deus ex already came out…

  • cloud W Omega

    here is how i see this, you dont play her. cool if thats how it is

  • elbebo25pr

    The game looks awesome…What is it about?

  • Nathan, soon to be SleepyGuyy

    That trailer looks neat but i have no idea what style of gameplay it is.

    • http://www.YouTube.com/khfanlizzie lizzie1238

      Yeah, and even the fact that it’s an RPG doesn’t tell us much, as there are many different types of gameplay in RPGs.

  • Trulaw

    Nice.

  • Invictus

    Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.

  • kidtendo

    Idk what this game is about… but it seems interesting. I like how immersive it is by having her interact with the camera.

  • Exlon

    Okay, I know everyone else thinks her voice is really annoying, but I think she’s adorable. XD And the clumsy thing was totally unexpected, but that’s cute and funny to watch too (Cue the falling over).

  • ABEzilla

    kind of seems like us (the players) will be guiding her…
    meh im still on the fence on this one…

    • Sarah

      Aren’t we (the players) always guiding our characters? As long as it’s not a point and click then it should be alright

  • xXSuperNintendoXx

    Cool Konami, now put Little Kings Story 2 on 3ds

  • dems_da_Hyrules

    beautiful game for 3ds

  • Linkx7

    in Nintendo eshop is now currently Undergoing Maintenance 8/25/2011

    • Glitchmastermario

      lol, didn’t know this was posted

    • Billiam

      I was about to say something about that haha.. Huh..

  • Glitchmastermario

    *off topic*

    the e-shop is under matinence for me right now, could that mean something?

    • http://www.YouTube.com/khfanlizzie lizzie1238

      I bet when it comes back online it will have the ambassador games announced on it :D

    • Glitchmastermario

      or maybe memo? After looking up some stuff, this was one of the “guessed” days that it would be released, but probably not.

  • Neoxon

    Emerald Coast from Sonic Adventure (or possibly Wave Ocean from Sonic ’06) confirmed for Sonic Generations 3DS (& more shots of Casino Night). This throws off my theory of the portable levels completely. One must wonder if there’s still room for the GBA & DS levels.

    http://www.sonicretro.org/2011/08/dodge-emerald-coasts-orca-in-generations-3ds/

    • Billiam

      I’m hoping Sega might add some levels as DLC.. since Nintendo did say that they are going to have quality downloadable content.

    • Sarah

      off toipc ppl. But meh. Seems like another remake but with several remakes within it. We’ll see how it turns out

  • GEEKnorway

    I love how the guy says KONAMI at the end. In Norway, kona mi translates; My wife :P

  • cacaboy12369

    annoying girl, wats it about

  • Crazyhobo100

    I wish I could see the trailer:(

  • Anti

    Me gusta.

  • Fred1712

    Please get a good english voice actor…Please get a good english voice actor…Please get a good english voice actor…..

  • Stefano

    Oh so it’s sort of like a puzzle/adventure game like they did with pokemon mystery dungeon isn’t it?

  • Cornholio

    This NEEDS to come to America, we deserve it!

  • GERRELLEY

    The graphics are.really pretty,I might get this. I’d like to know what the story plot is first. :P

  • http://OperationMoogle.wordpress.com/ Brian L.

    Let’s hope Konami brings this one overseas.

  • http://sundaughterpress.com Lady Mushroom

    I am so excited for this game. It looks great – I love the girl’s voice too!

  • KingofIkana

    lizzie1238 I posted that comment in the afternoon on the 25th. HR was released at midnight on the 25th in the UK. I pre-ordered the game so I received it Friday morning. There are different release dates for different regions.

  • Paris

    This game reminds me A LOT of trace memory on the DS. What a great game what was… Long forgotten now though…
