Sept 2009 Muramasa US Release! Yey!

http://wii.ign.com/articles/974/974820p1.html

Wow, here I was, thinking the game was pretty much done.

September? What else do they still need to do that will take 4+ months?

Well I'm glad they're not rushing it, I suppose.

Am I missing something about this game? Everyone seems to be excited about it, it just looks like a 2d sidescroller hack'n'slash :-/

Is it supposed to have a good story? Be innovative? Or is based on an Anime show people follow or??

Not trying to sound like I'm bashing it, I just don't understand what the excitement is for it:-/

lack of dual language in the key features list seriously worries me. I wanna play this in Japanese with subtitles and all the more reason to have it considering the setting. Was hoping for Atlus to pick this up, I wouldn't be worried about that with them as I'm sure they would've put that option in like they did with OS.

Sweet. I'm so excited for this game. Was kind of hoping Atlus would pick it up, but I'm just happy it's coming. It'll be a nice bday present for sure :)

It just so happens to be that Muramasa looks like a freaking awesome 2D sidescroller hack'n'slash.

I looked at the link and videos/screens but... I just dont get it? It looks good for a 2D game, but (In my humble opinion) Okami looks a lot better in its 3d goodness. Sharp controls should be standard in a side-scroller, since you dont exactly have a ton of movement options available, like I said I just don't get the excitement.. glad for you guys following it that it's coming to the US, I guess I am just not keen on Japanese games:-/

Gross oversimplification, Halo and Zelda set themselves apart from "just another ____" every game in their series. Which is why I asked for what sets Muramasa apart, because I just dont see it like everyone else seems to:-/

Yes!!!

For a minute I thought it would never come to NA after that annoucement last night that it wasn't going to be published. The good news is that its around my birthday but at the same time, the school year begins so I won't beat it in one week if its as long as Odin Sphere.

EDIT: The dual language would have been nice since Odin Sphere had it and the setting would make sensein Japanese. Oh well. The voice acting in Odin Sphere was ok so I'm not too worried about it as long as the game comes to NA.

Sept?! Thats a long time from now. Way too long. By the time it comes out so will Ratchet and Clank and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2.

Don't get the hype up again people. If it comes out in September in US then that's awesome and we'll be grateful for the US release (due to the fact that most of us will buy it) but just don't get hyped too much so if something else happens, you won't be majorly disappointed. Besides that, thanks for the great news TC.

Rising Star Games are publishing it in Europe, I'm very excited about that!

glad to hear that

That is good to hear since I was kind of worried this would only come out in 2010.

It's pretty easy to call Halo just another shooter. In fact that defines the series. Muramasa sets itself far apart from other games. I actually cannot name a single 2D hack and slash. Are there many in existance?

Good news indeed, September is a ways off but ill have quite a few games to play around the summer so its not too bad since it will definitely be worth the wait.

That is great news! Looking forward to September.

I better get myself some work so I can buy it.

Can't believe this game isn't getting more fan reaction. IGN's latest footage looks absolutely stunning. http://wii.ign.com/articles/101/1012109p1.html

Sadly, this game will probably be in the bargain bin for $19.99 by the time the holidays roll around.

Another soon-to-be great game doomed to gut-wrenching sales. WHEN WILL IT END?!

Have you play Odin sphere? if not... well is a 2D RPG-like, that if the load time where no so freaking annoying it would have being GREAT... This game has the same concept (minus the load I hope), the art is amazing.... That is what have me excited :)

btw: I love the idea that It seems they have left the JP voice act :)
