Got bored reading the title halfway through. The point is, do want.
Oboro-something

Been waiting for this. I will be very unhappy if there is not an American release.
-
No gameplay videos out yet?
-
Huh. That certainly does look interesting.

There were a few seconds of footage in that wii video montage during the Nintendo conference on the 2nd.
-
Oh hell yes.

This press release says it'll be released sometime next year in North America. The game will be official unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show next weekend.

Looking gorgeous:blink:
-
It does look pretty dope.
-
this looks amazing… it's really a shame it's only on the Wii, cause... I don't have one, lol.
Dammit Vannilaware... Odin Sphere was amazing! I played the heck out of that on the ps2.
-
Been following this for months, I think its supposed to come out spring this year. I will buy this game!!!!
-
I want a PSP port of this game.
-
This game proves that 2D isn't dead. I agree with Gecko; Odin Sphere was amazing. If the gameplay is anything like it, count me in, too.
-
ok, it looks really cool and all, but i feel there is something i am missing, that everyone else is hyped about this game.

Famitsu's Oboro Muramasa feature:

Translation by Stormbringer @ NeoGAF:-
The boy, Kisuke, is a fugitive ninja which lost his memories, to the point that he couldn't even remember why he was being chased after. The only thing he is sure of, is that he is now motivated by an intense desire to pursue and find a certain "katana", even if this means fighting for that.
-
The girl, Momohime, is a pure and beautiful princess which was one day possessed by an evil spirit. This tragedy led her to flee her castle, and to vanish…
-
You can use two types of katana : the regular, long sword, and the bigger sword. The regular swords excel in 1-on-1 and aerial battles, while the bigger, more powerful swords are better suited to take care of multiple enemies.The proper use of weapons depending on the situation is a key element of the battles.
It's said that the battles are not just about blowing off enemies, as there are many strategic elements to them. -
You can perform defensive, as well as evasive moves, at the cost of a depleting soul gauge. When the gauge reachs zero, your weapon breaks, considerably reducing your attack power (you'll then have to switch your sword).
-
You can equip up to 3 katanas. After a certain time has elapsed, you're able to use one of your weapon's special power ("iai kiri"). To do that, just switch to it, and it will be unleashed automatically. Switching your weapons strategically is actually a key element.
-
As you collect more and more katanas, you'll find out that each of them has a different secret skill concealed within it (i.e : some spinning move, lightning-quick jabs, etc)
-
That game takes place on the Genroku era's Honshuu. You're free to start the game with any of the two characters. If you choose Kisuke, you start from the West side of the map. Alternatively, if you choose Momohime, you start from the East side. From then the story of both characters branch out independently.
-
On your quest, you'll be able to meet various characters, visit some villages and cities where you'll be able to shop, eat, and restore yourself, and experience many events.
-the development team actually invested a lot of time and effort into the animations which are played when you eat the various meals at the restaurants, so they hope you'll enjoy them .
-
You'll be able to travel long distance in a short time thanks to boats and other vehicles, though you'll have to pay for these services. You must be careful though, as you could have a few surprises during your trips…
-
the preorder bonus will consist of a 2 meters long, reversible folding screen with artworks printed on it.

Looking very good :O
-
Dear god, I still want this. STOP TEASING AND RELEASE IT ALREADY! My Wii needs to play something. It's been gathering dust for months.
-
Good god it's like right out of a folk tale! Not that many more days until I can import it!
-
I love this game so much. Granted I have no idea whats going on in the story, but it's just really fun for me.
Your sword breaks if you use it or damage it too much, you then switch to another sword until your other sword heals, or you collect what I'm guessing are souls/spirits of fallen enemies to heal your weapons. Pretty fun if you ask me. -
Whoa! It looks JUST like Odin Sphere.
I so need to get it.
I still haven't finished Odin Sphere though.
-
Here's a gameplay vid.
Is this Wii exclusive? It'd be great if it was multiplatform. -
Wii exclusive :X
-
So, I just bought this game. I've been playing it for about half an hour. I'm really liking it so far, even if the gameplay is about as repetetive as Odin Sphere. The highlight is definitely the artwork, though.

Just wait till Shigurui mode. Makes Muso and Shura look easy. I found the gameplay repetitive also, but there's something about it that is fun. Especially when you have the narukami band which prevents your blades from breaking and ougi's are unlimited.
-
Bought it too. Pretty impressive presentation, regarding music and graphics of course.
The map design could be a bit more complex like Castlevania / Metroid, but therefore the few RPG elements and battles shine more through, so…
