Muramasa: The Demon Blade Officially Announced For 2009 NA release!

[VictimOfScience]

The game that has been heretofore known as Oboro Muramasa Youtouden in Japan and that many of us have been looking forward to is finally officially coming!! Vanillaware is the developer behind the utterly gorgeous side-scrolling action RPG Odin Sphere and the equally pretty Grim Grimoire, both for the PS2. This one looks to take the visuals even further while keeping some of the best old-school side-scrolling action-packed gameplay that makes games like Shinobi and Contra so much fun.

This just jumped to the top of my most-wanted-for-2009 list. :thumbs:

It almost makes me wish I hadn't sold my Wii, I remember being so pumped when it was first announced and it still looks pretty awesome.

DAMN that's pretty. <3 2D.

Never did get around to trying Odin Sphere. Hopefully this one's a little less laggy.

Yes, that was one of the only complaints anyone had about Odin Sphere and for 95% of the game you will never see it so it is REALLY worth a play or 3. Get it NOW!!
