The waves at the end always wow me, so gorgeous. The beauty of Odin Sphere + faster action + no slowdowns and hopefully not as much repetition = WIN!

EDIT: this is from the TGS demo btw so if you think it looks too easy and simple, they made it that way specially for the show. So before judging it based on this, let's wait for the game to come out. ;)

If you're talking about looks, this is one of the most beautiful looking game out there imo. As far as gameplay, I'll wait. Odin Sphere had some problems so I'm not ready to jump the gun on that. However one of the big problem with OS was the slowdowns which are no more in this. That's a big +.

One other thing with OS was that there was 5 characters running through the same stages over and over. This time there's 2 characters so that alone should make things less repetitve.

If they manage to solve the flaws found in OS, this should be a pretty sweet game.

This game looks great and I really looking forward to it, but did anyone else notice that the swords swipes sound a lot like the same ones from the Soul Calibur games.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Japanese name was always "Oboro Muramasa Youtouden", and the not-so-official western name was "Muramasa: The Demon Blade".

I`m asking because my friend told me it will be called " The Legend of the Demon Blade " or something like that

Well, "Oboro Muramasa Youtouden" translates to something like "The Hazy Legend of Muramasa's Magical Sword". But the "official" western name for now is "Muramasa: The Damon Blade".

Never heard of this game before so I thought i'd dive right in. It's not exactly what I expected, but it looks alright actually. If it ever hits European shores i'll definately look into getting it. It would definately freshen up my games collection a little.

It does look like one to me too. A really really good one. I just can't see this game and not think Viewtiful Joe (That's not a good thing IMO as I detest VJ) with Better designed characters (That I'd actually play with) hopefully a Much better Storyline, great art style and coloration & Hopefully great controls.

The only thing I can see about this game is that the stages are broke up into enemy segments instead of one large stage with enemies already planted there but it still looks lke an awesome game. Here's to hoping for another really cool Wii Game.

It looks a tad shallower than the epic Odin Sphere, but then again, Odin Sphere's micromanagement potion chemistry B.S. got ridiculous at times. This looks like it's just pure beat-em-up fun but with MUCH more depth than your average Final Fight or Battletoads. Gorgeous visuals, as well. This is NO Wiiware title. If zaku101 knew even the slightest thing about Vanillaware, he would have known better.

when I first saw this game I thought it was a Wii Ware game as well, simply because this type of game isnt made anymore. At least not for consoles, its like one of the old school games you would find in the arcade or a million of on the SNES and Genesis. They were the pre-cursors to the hack and slash genre of today, the game looks pretty fun to me and I am surprised to see this as a full game. I wonder what the length will be, games like this usually dont benefit from being too long.
