Aw, I miss the good ol days of great 2d gaming. Sony did a great dis-service to the genre when it did everything but kill it off for good back in the PS1 days, they made developers afraid to do anything but the rare gem.
Blame Sony America, the Japanese and European branches didn't mind.

Case in point: You see the fat, super muscular chick in scan 2? Yeah that one.............what the hell is that?! And what the hell is she holding? Double-sided dildos?!
After taking another gander.........damn I love the style! The backgrounds are gorgeous!

putting aside that one particular character aside I'd definitely buy this game. I'm sure someone out there realizes this will be a good sell to America and publish it here, most likely Atlus. Unless for some reason they drop the ball and NIS picks it up.

Will you have an on-screen cursor ala Mario Galaxy? I don't actually see motions working out. Since it's 2D, it'll feel weird swinging the wiimote while the character swings his sword left or right.
I think something akin to Phantom Hourglass could work particularly well (except for the whole tap here-move here thing).

Well, what we've seen is also already a year old...NP claims the game looks better than Odin Sphere now, take that how you wish until we get some media...Yes, I'm aware. I didn't mean strictly graphics. I'm sure Muramasa will have its own quirks, it just doesn't seem terribly different from Odin Sphere thus far.

And? What IS gaming if not fun? These are finally things these people can enjoy! Hell, I don't even get how you can claim "non-games" have no challenge, most if not all of them are highscore hunts and I don't see people getting gold or platinum medals on their first few tries.
What IS a "good value for their dollar"? Seriously, what? When a game is fun, isn't that enough? What exactly do you need to get a "good value"? Are you just saying again that you don't like the games?
What IS "quality"? Good games, no?
Aren't all your arguments "I don't like their games therefore they are stupid"?
You know, I've been saying that 3d Zelda < 2d Zelda... 2D Zelda didn't have much story. Neither did 2d Mario. You probably saw me call OOT and M64 bad. I still stand by that, I don't like those two much. Both have massive increases in complexity from all that 3d movement stuff. Mario doesn't just jump and run anymore, he can sideflip, backflip, triple jump, slide on his belly, kick, wallkick, stomp, ... Why? Wasn't jumping and running enough?
...cracks me right up.

The STYLE is remarkably nice, because STYLE is a perfectly valid concern when making games or any kind of art, and the world would be aesthetically VAPID without the benefits of style.

Also, the game is looking better with every sceen though it still doesn't wow me as much as Odin Sphere did when I first laid eyes on that. I guess to be fair, I'll wait until I'm playing it at home which I will when I buy this the day it comes out. If Vanillaware creates a game that doesn't choke on slowdown like Odin Sphere sometimes did, this will automatically be better my book. And I'm glad that this game uses the Classic Controller.

After watching that trailer, I got to thinking on how cool could it ever be if Okami was done by the same company that is doing Muramasa, and in full hand drawn visuals... bliss I say, bliss.
Wouldn't be terribly cool, they'd turn it into a "kill everything, go to next screen, kill everything again" game. :P
Post by: Hostile Creation on October 10, 2008, 10:43:12 AM
Seriously, they have a real depth and beauty and give a remarkable sense of space, like you're actually moving through a landscape, like you could actually venture into those backdrops. It gives a sense of inhabiting a vast world. And that's just from screens and a trailer. Can't wait to try this out; besides, it's been too long since I played a real good side-scrolling action game.

I think the appeal I was trying to suggest is the 2D artwork, and we do know that the game play mechanics could be generic but I think we all know that is present in pretty much every game now.

I don't think there's a NA release date yet but I believe it comes out next week in Japan. Europe has to wait until next Spring which may or may not be before the second coming. I'd expect the price to be the same as any other brand new Wii game. Odin Sphere was $50 when it first came out so I can't imagine this being any different.
I guess I should be glad that I decided not to care about the game.

Post by: vudu on April 22, 2009, 02:16:22 PM
In any case, I've heard Ignition's translations are sub-par. Any truth to that?
That's what they say, but Shane Bettenhausen (who now works at Ignition) promises that the Muramasa translation will be good (http://gonintendo.com/?p=79960) (for what it's worth).

Having a nice flow, but also holding a decent challenge is ideal.
I agree, though I think I may side with challenge just a bit more than flow (and I do mean just a bit).
Yes, because I like feeling badass and stringing together awesome combos without having to burst a blood vessel doign it. Viewtiful Joe comes to mind.
Do you mean Viewtiful Joe was an example of bursting a blood vessel or having the right balance of flow and challenge? I remember feeling like it had a decent balance. I'd be happy if Muramasa turned out similarly.

There isn't much gameplay details that we don't know aside from you will be able to play as both characters.You can switch between them. Start with Kisuke beat a level then go play as Princess Momohime.The stories intersect at times.Also the sword treesthat define the prerequisites for each character's weapons.
If you are interested in learning more about the story of the game look up Sengo Muramasa,Kanadehon Chushingura,Sakurahime Azuma Bunsho. The latter two are what the scenario's of Kisuke and Princess Momohime's stories respectively.

I want this game but I still think it's retarded what Ignition did in order to get this title (wait for XSeed to finish localization and then buy the publishing rights from Marvelous). As an Xseed fan, I hope Ignition rots.
Was that really what happened? But if XSeed didn't already have the rights, why were they translating it? Also, XSeed just shouldn't hand over their translation work and make Ignition do it from scratch. That is wrong.

No, it's business. Xseed was stupid enough to do the translation without any publishing contract, so it's their own damn fault.

Incorrect, they made a deal last year that Xseed will co-publish with Marvelous a specific set of games in order to help them gain a presence in North America. One of the games was Muramasa, Ignition simply bought the publishing rights from Marvelous sometime around April.
Quote from: press release
Torrance, Calif., (May 9, 2008) – Japan-based game publisher Marvelous Entertainment Inc. and
Los Angeles-based game company XSEED Games announced today their entering into a
strategic co-publishing partnership. The deal will help to establish a US publishing presence for
Marvelous Entertainment and will provide XSEED Games an opportunity to access and bring to
market titles from Marvelous’ portfolio of high quality, popular games. Under the agreement,
XSEED Games will support key Marvelous Entertainment titles for publishing and distribution in
North America.

I get the impression there's an uncomfortable split in pacing between regular group skirmishes and boss encounters; the bosses seems to make you do honest hacky-slash work with platforming and dodging, but the regular enemies seem to just roll over at your presence. If it's not necessary to approach the regulars with caution, does it mean they don't put up a worthy "dance" with the player?
Maybe the bottom line is the product is full of retro action goodness.
Post by: rbtr on September 04, 2009, 08:38:02 PM
Lots of fun, I've died quite a bit just from being stupid and not paying attention to my health meter.
The levels are big, and have lots of areas to explore, monkeys take you to hot springs. I bought food and stuff in a city, there was ghosts. Ninjas are a bunch of fun to kill, it's great when a group of 8 appears and you just kill them like an awesome ninja should. Bosses are fun, fought a giant ninja turtle wannabe, and 3 giant centipedes. You get more swords on this huge branching path with experience you get from killing, and each sword has a new skill, so its almost like a skill tree.
It feels like I'm playing a fully realized NES game about ninjas, and that's a good thing. The pacing, the music, the vague story, and the action really feel like an NES game.
Can't wait to play more. Its good fun, and its gorgeous, it's really great looking.

And yes, this game is awesome. MUCH better than Odin Sphere, though I would certainly have appreciated more backgrounds. There's an awful lot of recycling in this game, though to be fair the artwork is beautful (it makes Odin Sphere look ugly by comparison, and that's hard to do). I just beat the boss of Hida (I'm playing the Momohime path first) and gained the Green Barrier-breaking Muramasa, and so far the game's been a blast though the boss battles have been strangely hard. Definitely prioritize picking up recipes that create consumables, because you'll need them.

Well, I'll tell you if I run into it. Apparently it's a random encounter of some sort when you're going through a particular sailing section of the game.
Speaking of which, that Play Magazine cover is just disturbing. That thing comes so close to a tentacle rape anime screenshot (from what I've heard, mind you. The most extreme stuff I watch is Hellsing Ultimate) that I'm just astonished that thing is being allowed on store shelves.

There's a lot of running, almost aimlessly because the backgrounds repeat a lot, but the repeated backgrounds are so nice to look at it doesn't matter. Getting used to the combat, and hopping around like a ninja more.

*sigh* Kids these days don't even know what an actual spoiler is. This is a spoiler: Momohime dies in the end credits when she jumps inbetween Kisuke and the final boss, impaled upon his sword (yes, I just made that up). This is not a spoiler: Momohime's final boss is more annoying than hard.

You know, that's one of the optional bosses I still have to kill. When I beat the game, I tried to take out any enemy lairs I ran into along the way but left most of them to deal with later. The problem with the Octopus boss is that you have to talk to a specific fisherman in a specific area (which is different for both characters) to get him to take you to another area by boat. There's then a random chance that you will either just jump to catch fish the whole way, you'll run into a mermaid who throws fish at you ( -_-' ), or you'll encounter the giant squid boss. I've only tried that run once and I didn't get the squid, but from the looks of the Youtube video I've seen of it it does look pretty scary between the rain; the crashing waves; and the giant squid with glowing eyes. But then again, I was pretty creeped-out as a kid playing the NES Little Mermaid game (don't ask, my pickings were slim those days on the rental shelf and I've always been a big Disney nut) fighting Ursula. It's that creepy grin with those eyes...*shudders*. And she has that same look in the two Kingdom Hearts games. *shudders again*

How does gameplay with the regular enemies hold up compared to boss battles?
Is typical gameplay a matter of interaction/adjusting to enemy attacks or a matter of being overpowered and plowing thru them by sheer advantage?
It doesn't hold up compared to the boss battles. The normal enemies only pose an actual threat to you if you aren't paying attention or if they're all ganging up on you at once such as when you're fighting off 100 of them in sequence. An example of this is when you're fighting Ninjas that are spread out over a map, who like to throw bombs out as well as Shuriken and occasionally chains. If you don't remember to hit low to hit the bombs as well, you can easily kill the enemy and then get hit by the bomb explosion. Otherwise, you're mashing the A button to utter victory without even really trying, occasionally swapping out swords as they get low on Soul Power to keep them from breaking.
Most of the bosses are a different story, requiring you to watch for patterns so you know when to evade to prevent taking critical damage to your sword (usually resulting in them breaking the sword).
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on September 08, 2009, 02:46:16 PM
Amazingly, this sounds like a shoot'em-up rather than a platformer. Waves of enemies that fall easily but set you up for small mistakes, while serving as sources for level score/point generation. Not sure that I'm drawn to this mix. I'm also not a fan of Capcom VS.-style hyper-animations.

To be honest, I'm not sure I can recommend this game as a $50 purchase. It's truly a gorgeous game and I have a lot of fun playing it, but the gameplay is extremely shallow and the story's pretty poorly told (which is wierd for how much emphasis the plot gets). It's a great rental, but I don't think this mix of gameplay is worth a purchase till it drops another $10-$20.

I see Dynasty Warriors an awkward 3D evolution of the 2D beat'em-up mixed with the behavior of the 2D shoot'em-up. Result: keep pressing "A", and you'll continue to cut through multiple enemies, where simple offense is part of your simple defense, and you bounce around to dodge when needed.
I now see Muramasa as a refined 2D implementation of Dynasty Warriors. AUGH.
It's boiling down to how much care and attention do I have for each individual button press, relative to the damage that's successfully dished-out. Is it working because I'm being careful with my button usage (and platforming)? or is it working because I get to press it a lot?

However, the game is supposed to play completely differently based on which mode you choose: It's actually a difficulty setting. Muso mode has you automatically block attacks when possible, and the amount of damage enemies do is relatively minimal. Shura mode is by far more difficult, and enemy groups can deal anywhere from 1/4 to 1/10 of your health per hit.
Either I'm terrible at the game, or when I enter a new area, enemies are actual threats to kill you. Since you instantly revive in the same room you died in, they're no real threat, but still, they can do great damage. Those monster lairs with 100 enemies really require you to identify and understand the best way to avoid one particular kind of enemy, which can be very difficult in some cases.
I'd say it's worth it, so long as you don't play wimpy on Muso mode, and instead choose Shura.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on September 10, 2009, 01:03:19 PM
So the game is preset to run in CASUAL MODE like Metroid Prime 3 is? HOLY ****, that's an important detail!
Why aren't more players bringing attention to this? If it weren't for the excessive smearing cloudy-black damage animation effects, I'd pick this game up eventually.

Any self-respecting action game fan NEEDS to buy this game. At full price. Right now.

Win/win situation?

I'm not sold on the visuals. Backgrounds and individual sprites are great, but the low-frame-count vector-type Flash-style animations stand out and aren't pleasing when laid over the flowing high framerate of the scrolling backgrounds.
Not pleased with the controls in a platformer context. Biggest offender is the lack of a jump button; never liked pushing up to jump. Some analog sensitivity to aid animation transitions and other tweaks would've been appreciated to better adapt the feel to the Wii-Chuk control scheme, to avoid the "floaty" feel and other things.
It also doesn't help that I spent some time with Viewtiful Joe a few days before I bought this, tho I wasn't my intention to create a comparison.
Seems like a great sidescroller game for the "Capcom VS." crowd, but I'm in no hurry to play more of it. Deadly Creatures and LKS are high up in the queue.

I bought this a couple weeks ago, played an hour of it, Shura mode only. I'm not very drawn to it from that short time. The first boss was enjoyable, involving more pseudo-platforming and adaption, but the regular swarms haven't been interesting. Slashy combo combat and animation is inherently exciting, but I feel like my job is to keep the combo going and move across the screen as some infinite combo blob, such that projectiles won't hurt me. Not exactly what I want out of games, as I appreciate more exchange/adaptation with opponents and platforming as a means of defense.

Not surprising, the game got a positive response overall so obviously you wouldn't like it!

I'm trying to get some feedback on this game from the people that play it, it's not out in the UK yet but if anyone's played the Japanese/US version or seen the trailers etc, I'd be interested to know what you think of it!
Thankyou!

This game crept up on him, it seems the sort of thing that's enjoyable in 40minute increments, but impossible to play for long periods of time. He compares it to a book that you enjoy reading one chapter of every night. It's not a page turner/all-nighter though, which is why it strangely uncompelling to people who've only played a little bit of it. Of course, since the game keeps your end-of-game progress for both characters after you beat it, you can easily switch between the two of them and work out the secret endings the game hints at.
Which brings me back to my original reason for posting here. Anyone know how to unlock the Muramasa Oboro blade? My brother says he can't for the life of him figure out how to unlock the four key blades that he needs before he can unlock what we believe to be the last secret ending.

I'll definately buy this when it drops in price...which it will, because it's 3rd party, and appeals to a niche audience. $20 in 2010? A girl can dream!
What, you still think it'll be retailing for up to $20 by next month?
