Dragon's Lair goes Blu-ray

Dirk the Daring is back, and ready for some sweet, High Definition action.

That's right, Digital Leisure, who has brought us a few laserdisc ports to DVD, including Thayer's Quest, Mad Dog McCree, and the overwhelmingly terrible Shadoan, is revitalizing the classic Dragon's Lair franchise for the Blu-ray format.

According to a recent press release, the studio went through the original footage frame by frame, and updated the image into HD. What do cartoons look like in HD, anyways? They also enhanced the sound to 5.1 Surround Sound.

The game will be available June 15, in most software retailers across the country. If you're a little anxious to start saving Princess Daphne, you can order the game online at Digital Leisure's website.

I'd pick one up if I had a PS3 (which, by the way, it's compatible with. Obviously.) Now, Digital Leisure, get to work on an updated version of Time Traveler.
