I got Muramasa: The Demon Blade

So today, I decided to go pick up Muramasa: The Demon Blade for Wii. Originally, XSEED Games was going to be publishing the title, but Ignition Entertainment aquired it from Marvelous instead. The original release of the game was planned for July, but was pushed back to September instead, but that's okay with me!

I just love the art style. I decided to start playing as Momohime first, later on I'll play as Kisuke. It's gonna take me a while to learn this game, such as all the different combos you can perform, as well as the special move each blade you aquire can perform. I'm really enjoying it though, I just wish it wasn't out at the same time as I got my PS3, because I'll be torn between it and the Wii.

If you are one of the people out there who are claiming there are no games geared toward gamers on the Wii, then you should pick this game up! It's such a beautiful game and it's a hack n slash with tons of different kinds of swords.

I also picked up from Best Buy, the Studio Ghibli films Pom Poko (which I just watched) and Porco Rosso. I absolutely love Ghibli films, not only for their art style and presentation, but for the stories they revolve around. Can't wait to pick up more films in the future!

Pokémon Rumble headed to WiiWare Soon

Pokémon Rumble, the English release name for the game Melee! Pokémon Scramble that was released in Japan, will be headed to the WiiWare in North America (and I assume other territories) soon.

In Pokémon Rumble, you play as a Pokémon and attack many other Pokémon in one huge Melee...I mean Rumble. See, it's kinda like Smash Brothers, and kind of like street gangs having a rumble.

I was really hoping this game would be coming soon and it finally is. More as it develops!

Sin & Punishment 2 hits Japan on October 29th

As revealed by Nintendo's own Japanese website, the long awaited Sin & Punishment 2 is finally being released somewhere...in Japan on October 29th. The game has a subtitle 罪と罰　宇宙の後継者［そらのこうけいしゃ| Sora no Kōkeisha). Various sources are saying that it means Successor of the Sky, but there is no way to confirm that at this time.

Nintendo of America stated recently that Sin & Punishment 2 would be released in North America in Quarter 1 of 2010. With a Japanese release around the corner, I hope we get a release date soon! It would be nice if we had it in time for Christmas, but like Endless Ocean 2, probably not until January 2010 :(

Okamiden is Okami for the DS

Click to Expand

A couple of weeks ago, it was discovered that Capcom filed a trademark in Japan for something called Okamiden. Speculation soon began, and now we have this image from Famitsu that looks pretty real. It looks like a DS sequel to Okami, but we don't know anything yet.

I really need to go play through the first game on Wii which I've owned for over a year now. Anyways, I'm excited for this. DS is still going strong apparently almost 5 years later! ^_^
