Wii #XXXX - Oboro Muramasa (Japan)

[raulpica]

I was waiting for it!

I love good old 2D Hack'n'Slash, and the graphical style of this is awesome.
Too bad the PAL release is gonna be in early 2010

 

[Smartpal]

Well atleast the US release is earlier

 

[mooyah]

Gave it a quick 15 min bash and it's pretty good. Besides looking absolutely stunning, the controls are well done too. Instead of just tapping A to do the same combo there's some nifty hold A and flick the analog stick swishy action going on. Will have to see if it holds up after putting in more time and seeing some bosses.

 

[Hadrian]

This game is so good! Vanillaware have done a very good job at making this hack 'n' slasher one of those that doesn't get too repetitive.

Its also so god damn pretty, this is what Konami should do with Castlevania Wii games instead generic fighters.

 

[BiscuitBee]

Wow, the animation looks so smooth. I'll look forward to trying this one out.

After playing Odin Sphere, I've been waiting for this.

Been waiting for this game too, but I think I'm going to wait for an english version...

Although Odin Sphere had a great gameplay system, it had a very poor story and character design looked like crap - IMHO - I couldn't stand playing it and gave up in a few hours, thanks to my friend I just borrowed it.
Now this looks like Okami all over again, but it looks pretty good from what I've seen so far. I really hope the story won't mess up with the experience like Odin Sphere did.

 

[Yuuko]

And Europe don't get it before 2010.

It's just a shame.

 

[cosmiccow]

wow, that looks sweet! has some fantastic backgrounds - i'd play it for these alone

 

[Anakir]

Wow this game looks great. I love the art work.

 

[DeMoN]

Was the file size incorrect or something? Why is this nuked?

 

[nehe32]

Was the file size incorrect or something? Why is this nuked?

i think it is because all scrubbed releases are nuked

 

[Chanser]

Correct.

 

[nehe32]

wow, this is an absolutely brilliant game

 

[taggart6]

So tempted to give this a run, but I rather wait for my Us copy. Good to hear people are enjoying it.

 

[Endogene]

Heh getting a disk read error again. Some pal users already confirmed it worked on their Wiis so i guess that my laptop is messing it up once again.

 

[SonyUSA]

Correct.

It's not scrubbed, it just compresses to 900MB in archive format. If you extract it, its the full 4gb size!

 

[WhiteX]

this is the definition of scrubbed.

 

[SonyUSA]

I meant in .rar package its 900mb. It could just mean a bunch of garbage data at the end that got compressed really well

 

[BiscuitBee]

That's how scrubbed images work AFAIK. It enables it to be compressed with rar/zip.

EDIT:
It's pretty fun, kinda' repetitive so far, though.

 

[Sharpz]

Just got past the first boss and I'm loving it.Very awesome and fun,I just wanna know what they're saying haha.Well I'll play this 'till the US one is released.
