Upcoming Game, Muramasa: The Demon Blade

Do you like anime, Japanese mythology and 2D gaming in general? Then Muramasa: The Demon Blade is for you.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade
, known in Japan as Oboromuramasa (literally "Hazy Muramasa") is an upcoming video game developed by Vanillaware exclusively for the Wii console. It will be published by Marvelous Entertainment and is an action RPG. It has been announced for a 2009 Japanese release, with North American and European releases from respective publishers Marvelous Entertainment USA (co-publish with XSEED Games) and Rising Star Games also in 2009.

The game is said to have two different methods of control, one for casual players that will presumably involve the Wii Remote, and another for more experienced players who'd prefer a more precise method using the Classic Controller. The Classic Controller's layout have the "A" and "B" buttons for attacking, while "X" is for items. The control stick is for moving right, left and jumping. The left shoulder button switches between 3 swords. Each sword has different attack style, damage and agility. Overuse of a sword can cause it to break and its attack power will drop substantially. Defensive and evasive abilities will deplete the active swords "Soul Gauge" and will also cause a sword to break.
