Henry Hatsworth Has His, um, Video Debut

OK, I failed at alliterating, but here's the first footage for this charmingly silly DS puzzle/platforming hybrid.

A few weeks ago, Henry Hatsworth was the most surprising and likable thing to come out of EA's Summer Showcase event down at its Redwood City headquarters. I gushed about the game's clever mix of Tetris-style puzzling and dashing, gentlemanly platforming action at the time. Didn't get a very enthusiastic response out of you people. This is EA! Trying something new! It deserves a moment of your attention.

Well guess what: I'm here to tell you what to like. You think this is a democracy? You will watch this trailer, and you will like it. WATCH.

  


EA's currently saying Henry Hatsworth will be in your sweaty little hands early next year.

EDIT: Poppycock!

This makes me proud to be English :D
This might be the first DS game I've bought AND enjoyed since elite beat agents. (I bought Guitar Hero: On Tour but I didn't....well you get it)

An old school English gentleman exploring, conquering and mastering. Sounds cozy.

Henry had me at "Poppycock!"

Seriously though, the game does look rather good. I'm a little confused how the game will play but I likes what I sees.

Wow, that looks pretty cool, in a Wario-ish kinda way. Sold my DS unfortunately, hope to see Henry Hatsworth in one form or another on the consoles!

I'm not English, but I'm Texan.  If I had a DS, I'd check it out.

Dude! I can't remember the last time I said poppycock. Fiddlesticks! What Ho! Cheers! Terrah! Hasta la vista, baby! Tea and crumpets! Sones and jam! Oh, being a stereotypical englishman is quite humourous, is it not, my fellow countrymen? Tally Ho!

Looks nice and cool looking trailer. But Wario Land 5 is on my list already and I'm much more exited about that anyway.

Doesn't look bad, but I will need to see a video or read a review that details how you control the top and bottom at the same time, or do you just control one and the other is a movie like screen (a la Tetris on the DS).
