Opublikowane: Październik 02, 2008, 19:49:38 Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED Games Announce Muramasa: The Demon Blade Exclusively for the Wii

    Torrance, Calif., (October 2, 2008) – Game publishers Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED Games announced today that the highly anticipated title, Muramasa: The Demon Blade (known in Japan as “Oboro Muramasa Youtouden”), is currently in development and will be released for the North American market. A unique, highly stylized action RPG (role playing game) videogame, Muramasa: The Demon Blade will ship in North America in 2009, exclusively for the Wii.
   “Muramasa: The Demon Blade is an incredibly special title,” stated Yasuhiro Wada, Managing Director of Marvelous Entertainment. “From the team that created the critically acclaimed Odin Sphere, Muramasa features a stunning visual look and palette that will be embraced by gamers world wide. We’re pleased to continue our relationship with XSEED Games to bring such an anticipated title to the massive North American gaming market.”
    Jun Iwasaki, President of XSEED Games, shared Mr. Wada’s sentiments. “Gamers are already excited for Muramasa. The game has already been included in many ‘must-have Wii games’ lists. We feel this enthusiasm will only continue to grow as gamers learn more about the mysterious ‘Demon Blades, and have the opportunity to experience the life of a ninja warrior.”
    Based on ancient Japanese lore, Murumasa: The Demon Blade plunges players into the mystical Genroku era, ruled by the skilled shogun Tsunayoshi Tokogawa. But this culture is threatened; Tokogawa’s thirst for power leads to a conflict over the enormously powerful, though cursed, Demon Blades. Used in hatred, drenched in blood, the cursed blades condemn those who use them to tragedy, madness, and untimely deaths. As chaos spreads, denizens from the netherworld breach their realm as these malevolent swords summon evil spirits - and the Dragon and Demon Gods as well.
    Featuring hand-drawn 2D art reflecting the heritage and tone of the storyline, Muramasa: The Demon Blade transports players into a little known mythology, envisioned by the creators of the critically acclaimed Odin Sphere. Players take on the role of a male ninja or female kunoichi, utilizing their ninja prowess to traverse the clever side-scrolling levels that feature vertical progression as well as the traditional horizontal stage advancement.

    Muramasa: The Demon Blade is currently in development by Marvelous Entertainment and Vanillaware exclusively for the Wii, and will be unveiled at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show in Japan (October 9-12). The game will be co-published by Marvelous Entertainment USA and XSEED Games in North America and is expected to ship in 2009.

Faktycznie wygląda przepięknie. Widać że producenci nie boją się już 2D jak to miało miejsce ~6lat temu gdzie takich gier *nie było.

*prawie wcale

COŚ PIĘKNEGO! :O

Mam nadzieję , że Europejczycy również będą mieli okazje zagrać w ten wybitny tytuł.

[narkoman]

Myślę że wyjdzie poza Japonią (skoro ODAMA wyszła to wszystko jest możliwe )

Sprawdza sprawdza. Nie ma najmniejszych problemów aby odpalić na Wii grę z innego regionu (bez żadnego czipa)!!!

Muramasa: The Demon Blade - interview
http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3170405
A portion of a 1up interview with director Jyouji Kamitani…

1UP: In what ways does the game use the Wii’s motion controls?

JK: We talked about it regarding the controls and concluded that keeping the classic controls for side-scrollers will best fit this game. That’s why this game will be using the Classic Controller. Currently, we do not have plans to use the motion sensor, but we are in talks about adding some feature enabling it.

Possibly the most stunning Wii game of the show.
http://wii.ign.com/articles/918/918509p1.html

Muramasa is currently 60 percent complete and is set for a Japanese release early next year. XSeed just announced it will be bringing the game stateside, although we don't know when, yet. While standing in line to play, a From Software developer, makers of ninja fare like Tenchu and Way of the Samurai, confessed Muramasa is his most anticipated game on the horizon. It is definitely one of ours.

Opublikowane: Październik 10, 2008, 11:28:58 Game Informer - TGS impressions

·   This is one of those games it is dangerously easy to miss while patrolling the show floor. Trust us, this is a game that should be on your radar.
·   Maramasa: The Demon Blade is currently in development by Vanillaware and Marvelous Entertainment for the Wii. It is a side-scrolling, action-heavy RPG that will release this year in Japan and on an undisclosed date in 2009 for North America.
·   Vanillaware is best known for their work on Odin Sphere, and their eye for beauty and attention to detail translate into this title. The art in Maramasa is 2D and has a hand-drawn quality to it.
·   The game is based on Japanese mythology which is reflected in the art style. In addition, the creatures in the game appear to be something right out Japanese lore.
·   When we got our hands on the game we found there are two methods of control. We used the classic controller to play, but there is also the option to use the Wii Remote for a different experience. We learned that the two control methods are supposed to help the game appeal to both core and casual gamers.  Without a doubt, the classic controller gives the player more precise control.
·   All the controls and instructions were given in Japanese, so we needed to experiment a bit with them before getting a grasp on things. Both A and B were used for attacking, one with a sword and the other with some sort of magic attack. Every once in a while we would also be prompted to hit the L button, which unleashed a large bladed attack on our opponents. We were also able to attack in mid air by after jumping by pressing up on the analogue stick.
·   Opponents came fast and furious. We fought on treetops, in small villages and both during the day and the night. It appeared that the game progressed after clearing stages – after which our results were given.
·   There are two main characters, Kisuke and Momohime – a young male and female. Not much is known about them or the story at the moment. We will keep you updated about this title as new details are released.

- full voice acting
- over 100 characters (NPCs included)

When asked if Momohime will flash her panties during battle, this is the developers? (Nakamura and Mori ) response?

?N?never! Wearing panties underneath a kimono is unsophisticated. You can?t see something that isn?t there! Absolutely? you won?t be able to see?? - Nakamura

?The smooth animation, vibrant colors, and high-quality dialogue is enough to take anyone aback, and the feeling of speed matches the music well. It?s like you can feel yourself melt into the intricately-drawn and beautiful characters and demons. The fighting system, which has you switching between three swords, is clear and easy, absorbing you into play. There is character raising and other RPG elements, but largely it?s a traditional 2D action game.? - Famitsu

Ignition Entertainment Acquires Exclusive Video Game Publishing Rights to Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Due Out September 2009

    Glendale, CA ? April 21, 2009 ?

    ?We developed Muramasa: The Demon Blade in the same way as we did Odin Sphere, so there are bound to be a lot of similarities. I want it to be a very fun game for everyone who picks it up,? said George Kamitani, game director and Vanillaware President.

    Key Game Features:
