Media: Muramasa: The Demon Blade ‘Heroes’ Trailer

Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Vanillaware’s spiritual successor to Odin Sphere, has got itself a fancy new trailer titled “Heroes.” In it, main characters Kisuke and Momohime get their slash and dash on, tearing apart Oni in Genroku Era Japan.

This is the game that will finally drive me to purchase a Wii. Just look at it. It’s gorgeous. Watching this trailer is like watching a piece of artwork that just sprung to life. My only concern is that Murasama will suffer from the same crippling slow-down that, for me, made Odin Sphere unplayable. Nintendo’s Wii is at least more powerful than PS2, right? ‘Cause I need this.
