I...want...this...game...

There's a lot of great Wii games that will be out in the coming months, including Punch-Out!!, House of the Dead Overkill, Klonoa, and several others. However, very few of them will match up to the forthcoming side-scrolling action game Muramusa: The Demon Blade.

[GWAVE]

Buy a Wii. This game is one of my most-anticipated games, if for no other reason than it was made by Vanillaware, the developers of Odin Sphere. THAT right there is reason enough to pay attention to it. I hope the Wii haters pay attention to this game. Oh, but they won't...

[Chug]

This game definately stands out from most of the garbage that comes out on the wii. Looks really cool, wish I could play it.

[ChampIDC]

The few amazing games like this make me wish I had a Wii, but I can't justify buying one simply because such games are so few and far between.

[callahan09]

Completely agree GWAVE. Odin Sphere was amazing, GrimGrimoire was really good, and this game looks like it could top them both. Go VanillaWare!

[caladbolg777]

First reaction: Ho-sh!t, it looks like Odin Sphere!
First realization: Ho-sh!t, from the makers of Odin Sphere!

[Simon_Brezhnev]

it looks good remind me of Shinobi 3 on genesis :( i really wish it was on PSN

[qface64]

well im in i wasn't too sure of getting this game but i saw all i need its now a day 1 purchase for me

[Product]

Gorgeous backgrounds, anybody else notice Marvelous Entertainment had involvement which you might remember them from No More Heroes and Killer 7.
Looks like a great game although this looks to be a very specific type of game...........i see the westerners might not buy this and instead buy Madworld.To bad because this looks like what i would want from many games right now trying way to much in 3D.To many people are not giving 2D the attention it still and always will deserve.

[Smacktard]

Finally some love for this game. It's probably my most anticipated game of 2009.

[AWBrawler]

Whats a Smacktard? if you don't mind me asking?

[rhood022]

I want this game too. Odin Sphere was really good, so naturally this game has been on my radar. But I hope they find a way around the slow-down that plagued some of the more massive boss battles. But I trust the devs.

[pippoppow]

Nice list of games coming out overall in 09. Their 09 lineup deserves more recognition then it is currently receiving.

[ACEMANWISE]

I thought the Wii was #1 this generation. What more recognition is needed?

[Skerj]

I've wanted this game since it was announced (as Oboro Masamune Youtouden) and it's looking even better than ever. Goes to show you don't need a kabillion polygons and everything normal mapped to all hell to make a good game. I hope it's as deep as Odin Sphere was as far as non-combat activities.

[commando34]

wow...denial if I want a good side scrolling game, Ill play Maplestory or Teniv :)

[Smacktard]

HAHAHA. You say (or insinuate... or something... I can't really tell with your retarded way of typing) that people anticipating this game are in denial, and yet in the SAME BREATH you say that Maple Story is a good side-scrolling game.

I weep for the gamers of today.

[Reibooi]

I am now again happy I have a Wii. I cannot believe we are getting this game in the US. Odin Sphere was a masterpiece as was Grim Grimore however neither game sold very well and I thought because of that we would most likely not see any future Vanillaware games. I'm glad I was wrong in this case because this game looks stunning.

[samura]

I don't like the Wii, personally. I didn't get rid of it for two games only

This game and Tenchu.

[ACEMANWISE]

The PS3 is my personal preference because it has most of the things I value in gaming. That's coming from someone who played games since atari.

[Zackstorm]

My first time hearing about this game, it looks awesome!

[hotrider12]

very few of them will match up to the forthcoming side-scrolling action game Muramusa: The Demon Blade.

yeah, right CONTRA match it up and surpass it HAAAAAAA and its a side-scrolling action game.

[Obama]

I love odin sphere..I really hope they can bring this to the ps2/3.

[PoisonousPoison]

Wow my first time seeing this game, and now it has become one of the title that I will be purchasing for Wii. So far my list of Wii titles is growing rather large at the moment.

[Godmars290]

I can't help thinking that this would be a XBL/PSN title on the other consoles.

[ACEMANWISE]

There are no limitations. Any and all games are possible as a download on PSN/Xbox Live.

[Marceles]

The moment the video started I knew it was from the makers of Odin Sphere, and I knew I....want...this...game

[Gr81]

Is why the Wii kicks ass this gen. Not so much for this game itself (though it looks awesome), but the symbolic tones this game gives off. It is a throwback, it is something different than the norm, it is something the HD consoles would never be considered for. FPS and TPS, what else? That's a limited demographic. The SNES, the last TRUE console had every genre covered, all types of games, this is where I see the Wii resemble its predecessor.

[ACEMANWISE]

I'm glad to see less shovelware and more quality titles. Sooner or later the Wii mote would wear out it's wow factor.

[AWBrawler]

You don't think the Dreamcast, N64, and Gamecube where TRUE consoles. Cube gave you ONLY games and launched with a console MMO. Dreamcast...oh yeah kinda started the whole Xbox Live Idea nevermind that one. But 64 was ONLY games and gave us Majora's mask, Ocarina, Starfox 64 and countless others.

[KKanjiAnkh]

Kudos for Vanillare, also glad to see Klonoa coming back, sorely missed, keep this trend up, we need these titles. those who know games have targeted this on their radar.

[Shnazzyone]

It is starting to seem like every time i turn around there is another video game title i am getting excited about for wii. I've already got a list 10 games long and with this it's 11. Those people who sold their wii's are going to be bumming this year and next.

[ACEMANWISE]

The PS3 alone has more titles than I can possibly afford this year. The Wii as well. 360 comes last this year...so far. We will be broke that's for sure.

[kunit22c]

Hey ACEMANWISE i will admit the PS3 ahs quite a few games comming this year, but dont try to say they are in first because the Wii is, im not saying that you did say this but your comment kinda makes me think you could be thinking this. Wii ahs most comming and PS3 is in second and the most obvious is the 360 in last but who cares about that thing its not worth what it costs, sure the price of $200 for that is cheap but when you get rrod and get your disk scratched and have to keep buying new ones, or if you tilt it and get it scratched, pay for online, breaking headsets, and all those extras you have to buy for it, it just slowly burns a hole in your pocket. But yeah mayube you cant buy all thses PS3 games because they cost $60 instead of $50? but yeah anyways this game does look very good, i saw it a while bck and thought why isnt this getting more recognition? and now it is and im glad, never played that otehr game people are talking about but if its anything like this i would get it. This is going onto my list of, 22 games? dang i never really went through and counted my list, wow. 22*50=alot, but like 3 of them are wii ware so its ok, but ill still have to miss a few on my list or wait a little while :P!!

[ACEMANWISE]

Nah, who cares which is first. My preference is toward quality. I see a lot of quality PS3 titles this year. Quality over Quantity is important. I hope the Wii has a steller lineup that keeps the Wiimote fresh.

[kunit22c]

Well with Wii Motion+ it should have a complete new feel in 09 and half of the games coming are going to support if so games will now all feel fresh and new, that is if you've ever played a wii before. I already have Wii Speak which will make online much better, and one game i want (boom blox 2. yes it has been confirmed its called boom blox bash party) will be online serve downloadable content, online stage sharing and wont require friend codes. It is going to be awesome especialy the no friend codes part, i just hope with the online multiplayer they include WiiSpeak, but they arnt including Motion+ because, well its not needed i mean for that game you point hold button so the cursor stays in one place then you whip tha wii-mote and the ball goes flying i dont think you will need motion+ for that. But yeah sorry for kinda snapping at ya with my last comment i thought you were a Wii hater but i should have known better because your a ps3 fanboy right? and they arnt usually haters twords Wii its usually only the 360 they hate and i can 100% understand that. Its usually the 360 fanboys who attack the Wii and they always seem to be more stubborn and imature, sony fanboys appear to be the most mature, well most of them, there are a few childish ps3 owners but you arnt one of them, and same for the 360 fanboys not all of you are imature its only about 98% of you so sorry if i just assume your imature but hey you bought the system with faulty hardware and paying for online.
and the only 360 fanboys i talk to are on here, GT, ign, otehr gaming sites and youtube, but hey I could be wrong it could just be the 360 fanboys on here and all the other places i mentioned that are imature, but hey to stop this generalization all togather how about we stop being imature huh?

------------------------edit- ------------------------------- ----------

wow i have another long comment, this makes my second longest comment! :P!

[ACEMANWISE]

What is this open zone section? Is it like being on the outside looking in or something.

[Smacktard]

Oh god. Bubbles.

[mjcrow33]

Looks good, might just have a reason to hook the wii back up.

[Gr81]

I agree with you no doubt. In fact I think the N64 had some of the best games ever. But what I meant by TRUE console, was that it had the best of everything. There was just so many classic games from first and third party and the quality ratio was unparalleled.

As far as I'm concerned the SNES was king. N64 was probably my favorite console, just because of OoT, Goldeneye, WaveRace, I mean Nintendo was really on top of their game, and they needed to be because third parties abandoned ship.

[AWBrawler]

So SNES and Genesis where the last TRUE consoles then.

[kesvalk]

this is a day 1 for me too...
