Man, this game is looking good. I hope this footage is from early and/or E3-ified levels, though, because it looked kinda easy. (I mean, if you're going to release a super-Japanesey 2-D sidescrolling beat-em-up, you might as well give up on accessibility and make it challenging.)

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #151 on:** June 01, 2009, 03:25:03 PM »

No, shut the hell up. There's nothing wrong with not being ball-bustingly difficult.

NovaQ · « **Reply #152 on:** June 01, 2009, 03:41:57 PM »

"challenging" =/= "ball-bustingly difficult"

I just don't want to coast through such a great looking game.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #153 on:** June 01, 2009, 05:20:08 PM »

I do, because the less effort I have to put into actually fighting, the more effort I can put into appreciating the flow of the game.

NovaQ · « **Reply #154 on:** June 01, 2009, 05:33:20 PM »

I generally don't mind doing that the second time through a game, when I really know what I'm doing. RE4 comes to mind as an example.

Also, if Muramasa is all about combat, do you really want to put so little effort into fighting enemies?

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #155 on:** June 01, 2009, 06:23:31 PM »

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.

Stratos · « **Reply #156 on:** June 01, 2009, 10:08:01 PM »

Prince of Persia Warrior Within also had that issue for me. I kept hurling myself off of walls and over ledges to my doom. 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).

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.

So this game was in the newest Nintendo Power.Issue 243.

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.

Don't worry about it, thats just how Dirk is.

I don't hate you. I'm glad you are here

I bet Greg does. Me I will try depending on how my finances are

Stratos · « **Reply #170 on:** August 16, 2009, 05:20:57 AM »

It is one of my priority purchases before Summer ends.

Rune Factory, Muramasa, Cursed Mountain and Overlord are what I want to get. Also Resort if I can push it. I probably won't complete that list until September or October though. I can't splurge too much.

Tanatoes · « **Reply #171 on:** August 16, 2009, 09:30:54 AM »

I have my pre-order in. This, Rock Band Beatles and Scribblenaughts are my most anticipated games of next month. Hurry up and arrive already, September!

I'm very cautious, I didn't like Odin Sphere much and the media loved that one, the previews on Muramasa were less positive...

Adrock · « **Reply #173 on:** August 16, 2009, 12:49:46 PM »

I am. Pre-ordered months ago.

Either this or Knights of the Nightmare will probably be a b-day present from myself next month. Then again if finances improve, I'll have both before October.
