Flower, Sun, and Rain screens take us to exotic locales

The 3D art in the DS remake of Suda 51's PS2 adventure game Flower, Sun, and Rain is beyond rough. Suda's games are usually low-poly for stylistic reasons, but this goes beyond style and into "just unintentionally weird-looking." Of course, being a Suda game, all of the non-3D parts -- the maps, the puzzle screens, and even (especially) the typography -- look really damn cool. The maps and in-game guidebook mimic travel brochures, and the puzzles juxtapose realistic depictions of objects with pixel art.

We've updated our gallery with six new screens from the game. The source of these screens, French gaming site Wiiz.fr has "confirmed" this again for an American release, but only in that they said that it's coming out and didn't provide any attribution or evidence.

Low poly count, smoe bolly snout.

Crossing my fingers for a more official release announcement.
