New Hands-on on MUramasa sound AMAZING...

I wanted this game since the moment I saw the similarity with odin (now I know that is the same developers :oops: :lol: ) but after this hands-on :shock:

Points to take in short...

1. Great art.

2. 2 different characters each with different lvl design and bosses (thus overlap is present) and each with it owns storyline.

3. A LOT of weapons to find and make.

4. Nice controllers.

5. FUN gameplay for 12-15hours....

and also it kept teh JP voice :D yea, that is not getting old for me :D

here the link to the hands-on

hope is news to someone... enjoy....

Twelve to fifteen hours? That is short. Not only that, the art is not as beautiful as they say.nintendoboy16

Its actually quite the opposite, a side scroller should be short because exploration(in general) isn't a big part of them. And since side scollers are limited in what they do, you cant drag it on for 25 hours. Anyway like it was stated above, it's 12 hours for each campaign, and the are both apparently very unique to minor overlap. Also nothing is more arcadey feeling than a side scrolling beat em up, so if thats an excuse for Star Fox its an excuse for this as well. Anyway 12 hours isn't short, unless you been in deep hiberantion or you haven't played a game since 1998, you should be aware that most games these days are lucky to even make double figures. If a game that was 12 hours is too short for you, you must play like 2 game a year. Sepewrath

Muramasa is a side scroller and for a game like that, it is short.nintendoboy16

Completely wrong.

Metroid games can be finished within 4 hours, even if it's your first walkthrough. Traditional Mario/Wario/Yoshi 2D platformers were not longer than 5-8 hours, as long as you didn't go for the bonus items and secrets ( there's also a lot in Muramasa, so ... ).

Also, that's pretty much the length of most 3D game nowadays too, if not even longer than the average game.

Wait, each campaign? Well, I guess the length is reasonable, but that dosen't help the fact that the game might suck.nintendoboy16

It's my most anticipated game for the third quarter this year.

Sonic Advance has ~13 levels and you can beat each in less than 10 minutes, LOL.

If you seriously need 20 hours for Sonic Advance, you won't beat Muramasa under 30 hours either :lol:

This game looks amazing, day one buy for me :)

same here, and 15 hours for a sidescroller is huge when you consider how straight forward they usually are. So i am very happy to hear that it has length as well as a good amount of depth with the weapon creation among other things, but even if it didn't id still love it for the artstyle and the sheer fun factor.

4. Nice controllers.

I thought the game was 3D (I obviously knew nothing about it...

I was disappointed when I saw it wasn't. That doesn't mean it's not going to be amazing.

So someone confirm this. 12-15 hours in total, or per each character?SMR-Venom

Definitely picking this up since I effing loved Odin Sphere.

:lol: :P .... nah, the thing that got me was actually that was 2.5D like Odin Sphere, which is pretty nice game (exc for the loading time :P )

i didnt need that new hands-on to know it was awesome, but this just makes me want it more :PBrunoBRS

yeap... That was me... but after reading this hands-on... :D I mean I thouhgt it was to be some lil game, but wow 100`s blade, nice gameplay and that thing with braken the blade was just great.... plus shopping and items and such... nice RPG-like :)

hmmm.... *goes to IGN*

sorry I`m never able to say that clear :oops: I mean that the scheme control is well done... and for me the fact that do NOT have motion thingy is GREAT :)

There are 108 blades in all, balanced between the two different characters, so going through THE DOZEN PLUS HOURS TO COMPLETE ONE CAMPAIGN will only grant you half the game's total weapon count. If you want the full experience, you're going to want to play this one through with both Kisuke and Momohime.

For all those asking, in the last IGN article it said that its take 12 hours to get through one campaign. And thats probably just blowing through and not taking the time to seek out swords. So if time means something to you, all in all your probably looking at about a 20 hour game if you just blow through. Sepewrath

Oh, well reading the coverage that there is no motion control (which sucks), it does use a Gamecube controller. That I admit is cool, because Classic Controller can be so awkward. Unless if there's D pad support for movement.nintendoboy16

Why does this game require tacked on motion control again?

I don't know why people think this gamemight turn bad. Nothing about this games seems problematic or lacking.

I've beenlooking forward to this game for a long time obviously.:P

*facepalm* Not the point of the post. The point of the post is if there is D pad support for the controllers, because analog sticks on the Classic controller are awkward. Mainly for how the Classic Controller is shaped.nintendoboy16

I asked you because I recall another thread about Muramasa where you kept on insisting that there should be motion controls in this game.

Two things:

1. Don't facepalm me.

2. I asked you because I recall another thread about Muramasa where you kept on insisting that there are motion controls

I'm quite content that they did not force motion controls in, I wish more developers would understand that not every Wii game needs to have motion controls if they do nothing to add to the experience. Sepewrath

Can't wait. My most anticipated game of the year actually.

I think this game will dissapoint, but I hope im wrong.

*now begins to see why Wii remote play will fail* Okay, I'm convinced. I still think the graphics aren't that great, but gameplay wise yeah.

*facepalms at self and does inaudiable rage for not noticing that like Nostalgia Critic reviewing Good Son*
