"Early this morning, I had the pleasure of attending a private appointment with Ignition Entertainment to check out their biggest and most anticipated Wii game of this year, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, an action-RPG set in feudal Japan developed by the team that made the PS2 classic, Odin Sphere. Eric Rodgers, Associate Producer at Ignition Entertainment, took me through a full demo of the first area for each of the game's main characters"
Nintenderos: "We kick off our interviews this year with a very special one with George Kamitani, president of Vanillaware. In case you didn't know this study, it is the one behind games of the stature of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Odin Sphere or Dragon's Crown. In addition to, of course, unforgettable titles like the wonderful 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim published by Atlus a few months ago."
With the ongoing pandemic shutting down many IRL cherry blossom viewing parties, here are some games where you can still enjoy some beautiful spring sakura scenes
How do you introduce people to folklore and fairy tales? Introducing people to mythology can be easy when they are young or in school, as such stories can sometimes be used to teach morals, introduce concepts that might be difficult for people to otherwise understand, act as warnings and get imaginations working. Once folks get older, it can be more difficult to get them engaged and interested in legends. Fortunately, some Japanese video games can step in to bridge the gap.
"It’s also worth noting that the game has not been, and will not be fully localized. Rodgers mentioned that while text and menus are all in English, the Japanese voice work will kept. This is due to the fact that they knew, no matter who they hired to do vocal work, players would complain about the “poor English vocal tracks”."
Dammit. Am I the only non-weeaboo gamer? I want english. I don't care about voice acting. Bad voice acting > foreign voice acting.
