Though there’s a lot to be said for the cheeky sexuality of Bayonetta and the slapstick ultra-violence of Mad World, of all the games Japan based collective Platinum Games announced earlier this year, DS space epic Infinite Line had me at hello.

It wasn’t just the promise of vast, free space exploration shrunk down to palm size, or the fact that you could decorate your warships with lipstick kisses (though both helped), it was designer’s Hifumi Kouno’s assertion that “in playing through the story, across vast space, the player will discover what it means to be human in this vast emptiness.”

While we wait for more detail on quite how Kouno can affirm our essential humanity, thanks to Tiny Cartridge we have the first English version of Infinite Line’s happily perplexing anime intro short.
