Posted August 28, 2018 Coming January 15th 2019! Press release below... Quote Capcom Press Release:Onimusha: Warlords was first unsheathed in 2001 on PlayStation 2 and introduced players to a world seething in darkness, magic, and demonic greed. Set in feudal Japan after the events of a revolutionary battle, it told the tale of the honorific samurai Samanosuke Akechi and ninja Kaede on a quest to save Princess Yuki from mysterious demons who have invaded Inabayama Castle. As the two travel throughout the castle, they unravel a malevolent plot by those who would serve the evil lord Nobunaga Oda. Upon its release, Onimusha: Warlords sold over 2 million copies worldwide and quickly became a beloved game due to its sword-based gameplay, stunning graphics that exuded a cinematic feel, and riveting story engulfed with strife.Though merely human, Samanosuke is able to vanquish the demons infesting the castle and gains the Oni Gauntlet, which allows him to absorb their souls for multiple purposes like health regeneration and improving weapons. Coupled with three elemental blades he collects along the way, Samanosuke utilizes his vast arsenal of weapons in his quest to save Princess Yuki. In certain segments of the game, you control Kaede, who wields her own kit of tricky weapons perfect for taking down unsuspecting demons.Onimusha: Warlords will be available for modern consoles and include some updated features to improve your demon-slaying adventure.NEW FEATURESHigh-Definition Graphics - Characters, background graphics, and cut scenes have been given a high-definition upgrade to enhance the visibility on your quest to save the princess.Widescreen Support, New Display Options - Both the original game's display (4:3) and more standard widescreen display (16:9) are supported.

Capcom actually decided to not be completely fucking stupid for a change and are supporting Switch!? Did Nintendo bribe them? Did some Capcom exec lose a bet? Either way, I reckon a lot of people will be excited for this one! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 28, 2018 We really need to decide where these threads/news go. We've got a thread here, other consoles and as well as inside the Switch eShop thread. Someone go make a thread in general as well, you know, just to cover all bases. Cant wait for this. The series is amazing and the first game was what got me to buy a PS2. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a Nintendo focused website after all. Hey @Ashley, maybe you could get someone to move the other console thread for this game here? Is that possible? Man, it was so much easier when Nintendo wasn't getting third party support... Edited August 28, 2018 by Glen-i 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey @Ashley, maybe you could get someone to move the other console thread for this game here? Is that possible? Man, it was so much easier when Nintendo wasn't getting third party support... It's a limitation of the forum setup. If I were to create a forum, I'd have threads with catagories (platforms) as attributes, so the same thread can go into separate catagories. In this forum, it's hardcoded to be in one catagory (subforum) at a time. Some people may not be interested in the Switch version.. Anyway, I don't care either way. I have no nostalgia feelings towards it, and I think it looks pretty shitty in the trailer, so I'll pass on this one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been here a while and this is the first time I’ve heard of this general rule; sorry if I was supposed to stick it in Nintendo Gaming, guys I just figured that it’s a remaster of what was first a PS2 game, which also released on Xbox, and is releasing on more consoles that aren’t Nintendo than are, so stuck it over in Other Consoles, but you do make a good point: this is a site with a focus on Nintendo. It’s a weird one, and I think it’s difficult to not end up potentially leaving out those with only one console, whichever sub-forum you stick this news in Edited August 28, 2018 by Julius Caesar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 28, 2018 I enjoyed the first Onimusha (not so much the sequel) so I'm keeping an eye on this and will probably pick it up as I wouldn't mind playing it again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 29, 2018 It arrives on the 20th December over in Japan. If it has English subtitles I can see me importing it, much like I done with the Resident Evil Collection on the PS3. I'll probably be picking this up on the PS4 as the Playstation is where the series was born and raised. It would feel wrong and weird to play it on another console.

Posted August 29, 2018 I loved the Onimusha games (might even have the trilogy still), i thought they were amazing and had a real love for the 3rd one and the segments in Le Mont Saint Micheal, nice to finally have a game set somewhere i know Probably will get this for the Switch depending on reviews, if not PS4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
