Beautiful!

XSeed abandon ship

 

US, April 20, 2009 - Fans eagerly awaiting the American release of Muramasa: The Demon Blade should keep their eyes peeled for some new publishing news in the near future. First, IGN has learned that XSEED Games, formerly set to debut the title stateside, will no longer be handling distribution. The company released a statement to IGN confirming this news this morning.

 

XSEED Games confirms that it is no longer involved with the North American release of Muramasa: The Demon Blade. XSEED Games and Marvelous had previously announced the game as part of the initial line up between the two publishing partners. We firmly believe in the product and will look forward to seeing it release in North America. We enjoy and respect our relationship with Marvelous, and are committed to working together to deliver an amazing line up of games in the US including the highly anticipated Little King's Story, the epic RPG Arc Rise Fantasia and Suda51's intriguing mystery adventure Flower, Sun, Rain.

 

IGN expects news about the game's new U.S. publisher soon. Stay tuned.

I think it's just Gametrailer's video capture that's a bit off. All of the import impressions I've read (extended) mention nothing about frame rate issues.

Love how the enemies come( and go). The artistic work is great.

Framerate problems?

 

This game is the answer from god for my prayers about an action 2D side scrolled. It's so gorgeous.

 

Framerate problems? I didn't see them.

Does anyone has this game running on HBC/Gecko OS? I just imported Taiko Drum Master and Tatsunoko VS Capcom and both work on my 3.4E Pal Wii. Such joy :D

I couldn't find this game while I was in Asia a few weeks ago, so I'll just import it. I may want to wait for the US version though.

I want Taiko Drum Master SO much :( I'm tempted to buy another Wii and homebrew it just for it!! What are the chances of the game coming out in the west? Same as the DS versions?

I played this at my bro's tonight. Only played for about 30mins but this is a great 2-D side scroller. Even in with no english you cant really get stuck!

Is this due out spring 2010? May add this to my other Japanese games for my 2nd Wii (which I probably won't even get). Damn Nintendo and their freeloader blocking ways!

The artistic work is great.

 

Indeed, it is.

 

Over 100 blades? Nice. Hope there are hard challenges in order to get some stronger swords.

If they do get it out this side of xmas that's be amazing. I'd be incredibly happy. Not too sure though. They were confident in saying that we wouldn't get it till next year so what's changed that's brought the title back for a 2009 release? Guess we'll have to wait for an official statement regarding the release.

The US/EU version will have the Japanese voices with english subs.

That article only talks about the US release by Ignition, not the EU release by Rising Star Games.

It will probably be same case with the EU release though.
