''3D Dot Game Heroes'' is a title for the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]]. It's an homage to ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' series and retro gaming in general. You play as a young hero trying to save the kingdom of Dotnia from some legendary evil. It references and parodies several gaming themes and clichés. It's not limited to gameplay, either. The entire game is depicted as a 2D title that has been converted into high-definition 3D; old-school sprites now look like giant chunks of polished [[LEGO]] bricks. Though hardly groundbreaking, its humor and nostalgia appeal to older gamers.
 
[[3D Dot Game Heroes/Shout Out|This Shout Outs list]] is a secret to everybody.
Line 14:
* [[Badass Princess]]: The female Royal class PC.
* [[BFS]]: The default swords are already powerful, but upgrading makes them ridiculous.
* [[Bow and Sword Inin Accord]]: One of the weapons you'll get early on.
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Used, by name, by {{spoiler|the Princess after you save her and refuse to take her along. She will continue to say this until you agree.}}
* [[Cap]]: You can only upgrade the swords so many times.
* [[Character Customization]]: The Character Editor lets you build and upload "any" 3D sprite you can think of.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: You can ask an [[NPC]] for an Infinite Money Code. He'll just mock you and say to earn it yourself.
** Also happens throughout [[New Game+]].
Line 53:
* [[Loading Screen]]: Complete with references to several classic retro games.
* [[The Maze]]: Getting to the second dungeon
* [[Metal Slime]]: The Crystal Slimes, which have a fair amount of HP and move entirely too fast.
* [[Money Spider]]: You can make a small fortune by killing bosses.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Aside from dialogue differences based on your character class, {{spoiler|[[Save the Princess|saving the princess]]}} also factors in, but can't be done in the same run as the regular ending.
Line 97:
** ''Onore no Shinzuru Michi o Yuke'': Shippu
** ''Fuuun Shinsengumi Bakumatsuden Portable'': The Okita playable character.
** ''Super Mario Sunshine'': Life Up GET!
** ''Demon's Souls'': An entire cave which includes: Sticky White Stuff; Examining a certain corpse will get you a Hero's Soul; A nearby [[NPC]] will chide you by saying, "Come on guys, this game isn't THAT hard..." There's even a readable message that you can recommend, which makes someone, somewhere regain their health.
*** Also, "I've got this Demons game, wanna trade? It's too hard!"
