Fez: Not just for Shriners anymore!

Hey, remember when Super Paper Mario came out and was like "Hey, I can be in 2D and 3D" and we were like "No wai!" and then Super Paper Mario was like "srsly!"? That was great.

Enter Fez, which looks to be what Super Paper Mario would have been like if it was actually a platformer, and good.

YouTube Teaser
GDC '08 Trailer

A close look at the GDC trailer reveals references to "Trigger Buttons" and a familiar green A button. I would not be surprised at all to find this on XBLA at some point.

The whole thing is rendered with what they're calling "Trixels"; which apparently are somehow different than voxels. It's a very cool looking game, simultaneously looking old-school and next-gen. I was especially impressed by the shadows left by clouds.

I need this game. Now.

(edit: oops, found another thread for this, sorry Djiem. "Fez" is too short to search for :()
