D3 says Onechanbara got some graphical upgrades for its North American release photo
#D3

When I played the Japanese Wii version of Onechanbara Revolution, I remember thinking to myself, "This could be a fun game if it didn't look like sh*t." That may sound pretty rude, but the grainy, hard-to-see graphics detracted from a game that should have been a blast -- after all, you play as a mostly naked chick in a bikini!

In a recent conversation with Siliconera, D3 actually talked a bit about tweaks being made to the 360 sequel, Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad. D3 Consumer Business Division rep Oohashi Toshiro commented:

"...the mere thing is that the graphics are now in higher resolution in comparison to the Japanese version so we were able to implement and present something that is more visually appealing.”

Yay! Those words sound like a dream come true to me. The game is slated to be a budget title, so I knew not to expect the best, but its nice to know we won't be getting the worst. Looking forward to this one next year!

hell this could've been a direct PS2 to 360 port for all I care. I'm just glad the us is getting SOME type ofOnechanbara love. It saves me the money to import the PS2 versions for now.

This game looks like a lot of fun. Is it? All I have seen are cheesecake pics, which is fine and all, but I am still wondering if the game play is executed well and doesn't get boring/redundant. Any opinions out there?

Ooo, wait- I thought the Wii version was getting higher res textures in NA? This makes more sense I suppose.

So the Wii version was fun then?

<i>Bikini Samurai Squad</i> is the name of the 360 game (and is not the sequel).<i>Bikini Zombie Slayers</i> is the Wii release (and is the sequel).

Anyway, good to hear! I'm looking forward this game.

I wonder what will be Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad achievements...

Deer in headlights - Explode 10 zombie heads with your boobs.

ROM-COM-ZOM - Beat the game with Co-Op.

5. Ideal protection - Kill 50 zombies while wearing almost nothing.

I am going for the 360 version, better graphics and basically the same gameplay.

So I was right!?!?! A cursory glance showed zombies, and I'm all about killing the undead scum!

"Wait and see, for now, soldier."

I'm really looking forward to this game. it has everything American male gamers need. Hot women, zombies, gore, and swords. If Chuck Norris popped up from time to time just to give you the thumbs up it would be the end all PERFECT GAME we all crave.
