New Oboro Muramasa (Wii) pics

Coming to the UK courtesy of Rising Star, so I've been told.

Yes, it's a Wii game. From George Kamitani and Vanillaware, developer of Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire.

Excuse my ignorance, but what format is this due on?

Wii. Made by the Odin Sphere people, or so I heard.

I'm going to assume it looks even better in motion, which should make it pretty impressive.

This. That looks awesome.

It's a Wii game. First post updated.

Wow, looks gorgeous.

Judging solely on those shots admittedly, you could argue the Wii is finally having its 2nd generation of software now. Unless that already passed me by? I'm not that cool y'see.

Oh, well in that case I guess so.

I would like to see more wii games that take advantage of the controls

Nice to see some devs getting their buts in gear and making a game or two that play to the Wii's strengths (or weaknesses, as it were).

Video's gooseberry fool quality, but that looks phenomenal.

No motion controls either; it'll use the classic controller.

Lovely visuals. Someone arsed up when encoding that video though.

IGN Hands On

While wandering through Marvelous's TGS booth we stumbled upon a game that truly lives up to its publisher's name. Muramasa: The Demon Blade is a stunning action RPG from Vanillaware, makers of Odin Sphere. It is presented in 2D with beautiful, layered scenery and a rich color palette. Although it features legendary Japanese swordsman Muramasa, this is a new IP. Muramasa is the star, but he also has a playable female companion.

Players can use either the remote and nunchuk or the classic controller. The game moves along briskly through a series of brief encounters with enemies like ninja and demons from Japanese folklore. Each episode is very short and must be completed within a certain time limit. The fast pace keeps the scenery constantly changing, and during our play session we kept being more and more impressed with each new backdrop. Rooftops, countryside, cherry blossoms, a rushing river... Our favorite was a lush forest with rays of sunlight piercing in between branches.

Muramasa is currently 60 percent complete and is set for a Japanese release early next year. XSeed just announced it will be bringing the game stateside, although we don't know when, yet. While standing in line to play, a From Software developer, makers of ninja fare like Tenchu and Way of the Samurai, confessed Muramasa is his most anticipated game on the horizon. It is definitely one of ours.

Looks lovely but I've heard the developer's previous games tend to stumble a bit in the gameplay department, hopefully that won't be the case here. The combat seems very Marvel vs Capcom-y to me which is no bad thing!
