GiantBomb - Patrick teams up with Ryan to turn Samur-I into Samur-US.

Sakura Samurai brings a slew of intense, twitch-intensive action at the price of $7 and let me tell you, it goes out with all my recommendations.

Chris Buffa (Modojo): From the looks of it, 2012 will be a great year for 3DS at retail, with such games as Paper Mario 3DS and Luigi's Mansion 2.
With this in mind, Nintendo has plenty in store for the system's eShop, delivering a variety of downloadable titles for fans to enjoy.
On that note, here's a more in-depth look at what you'll see during the New Year.
GameXplain: "I’ll be honest: I was pretty terrible at this game. Pattern recognition and timing are some of my weak-points, so I found Sakura Samurai to be a little frustrating at times. But so was Punch-Out Wii, which I quickly learned to love. And in many ways, Sakurai Samurai feels like its spiritual successor with even more depth, so I’m eager to sink some more time into it. And fortunately, the wait shouldn’t be too long as it’ll be launching within the first quarter of next year on the Nintendo 3DS’s eShop channel."
Why does so much about this remind me of mystical ninja goemon?
