“So, we need to get some screenshots for Phantasy Star Zero.”

This was the way it all began. Suddenly, I had a shiny blue box in front of me, a DS system, and a build of Phantasy Star Zero. I’d be playing and taking pictures at the same time (not as easy as it sounds), and some would be going out exclusively in the September issue of Nintendo Power, with the rest going wide across the net.

I was told we needed something like 10 good shots.

So I took 40.

Everyone knows that Newmans rock the party.

All of those screenshots are now live across the net, including right here on our Flickr page. Enjoy Phantasy Star phans – the game is coming out near the end of this year, and very soon you’ll be hearing  more news about some special PSZ specific goodies we have in the works. If these screenshots don’t get you more excited for the US release, you’ll be seeing some things soon that definitely will.

Until then!
