Yuusha 30 was an original concept: You have 30 seconds that can be replenished at certain areas. If you run out of time, it's game over. They use this concept in different modes: RPG, RTS, and top-down Zelda or Secret of Mana-style action.

XSEED has announced that they're bringing it to the US, under the title of Half-Minute Hero.

Here's a Japanese trailer that gives an overview of the different modes:

XSEED also announced that they will be localizing the previously announced (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=224267) Lunar remake, Lunar: Silver Star Harmony.

Indeed, Ever since I saw this on GT I was close to importing it from eBay. But to hear that it's going to get a Western release is awesome.

However for those who don't know, this game is based on a piece of Freeware called 30 Second Hero, it's a really fun game too.

You can download it here http://www.freem.ne.jp/game/win/dl/dlfg01378.html, it's a lot more simplier than the upcoming PSP game, but it gives you an idea what it's like.
