Atlus has some screens and art available for download, from their upcoming party RPG Dokapon Kingdom.  You can check the release for the links to the new art.  Don't get me wrong, I love Atlus because they're one of the only publishers still releasing maddeningly difficult RPGs and games like Trauma Center, but really, a party RPG?  It sounds to be like they're trying to casual-ify one of the most hardcore genres in gaming.  RPGs are typically difficult for casual gamers to approach, stepped with backstory and gameplay as deep as the grand canyon.  Do we really want to give this long-standing hardcore genre the dreaded Wii disease?  I have faith, though.  If anyone can pull off a party RPG, it's Atlus.
