You already knew the concept for Onechanbara was great, but how about the new US name for the Wii title? Bikini Zombie Slayers? Yes!
D3 Publisher led me into a back room of their booth, complete with a beaded door and dimmed lights. They warned me of the "freaky mannequins," but I wasn't ready. Inside, I encountered two mannequins, both dressed with the actual outfits from the Onechanbara live-action movie. Naturally, I rubbed myself all over them.
They gave us a brief showing the upcoming Wii title Onecanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers. The game is still in the localization phase, but we're told that they're not just porting this from the Japanese version. The story and game will see some upgrades, though no details were given.
The story is simple: Aya Imichi is taking a shower. Her younger sister Saki pops in the shower and informs Aya that zombies are attacking. And like any good sister, Aya jumps out of the shower, throws on some lingerie, and grabs her ninja sword to chop up some zombies. Oh, and the best part? This whole thing was set to Warrant's "Cherry Pie."
The game permits same-screen co-op, with players controlling either Aya or or Saki. The Wii Remote lets you perform slashing moves, while the Nunchuck lets you kick. Tons of blood fly with each slash, so much so that Aya's sword becomes caked with it. When it becomes too thick, her sword gets stuck in zombies, leaving her vulnerable. There's a sword-flicking motion that needs to be done, leaving a pile of goopy blood on the ground for zombies to tread through.
We were also told about a Rage Mode, which we didn't have time to see. After a meter builds up form combat, Aya becomes "practically naked" with rage, and the blood spilling becomes unstoppable. It's not fair to promise "practically naked" and not show it. You owe us, D3.
Of course, this game comes from the Japanese Simple series of budget games, and it really is simple. You can just pick up the Wii Remote and Nunchuck and flail your arms about to see a mostly naked girl slice up zombies. What else do you need to know?
D3 Publisher is aiming to release Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers on the Wii in early 2009. They haven't set a price point yet, but they are sure it will be a "budget title."

hot babes, bikinis, bloody zombie killing action. They sure as hell beter not fuck this up or I will be a very sad panda
hmmmm makes me think of Wild Zero meets Burst Angel wild west version with kill bill swordfights, i'm sold....
why no 360 version?
Fucking sex. One of my favorite games from the whole show.
Finally coming to the US, gonna buy, hell yes.
Not sure why the Wii version made it over here given the stigma around the console, but meh, Zombies are Zombies. DO WANT!
Prediction? Poor financial success in the US.
I am sold on the name alone. Bring it on.
"practically naked" with rage
LOVE. IT.
It sounds like this game could be entered, and win, the "best damn video game intro" award that I just made up 15 seconds ago.
Zombies and "practically naked" chick with swords...how can you go wrong?...Unless it's a trap :(
Yes.
Best GAMETITLE ever!
You spelled "Oneechanbara" wrong again.
Win! I need this game now!
No, no! It's a trap, folks! That's not just some bucksome babe with a sword. She carries vagina dentata.
Pussy trap...never party with strange women.
Sounds like it's gonna be awesome, I'm looking forward to this now.
Though it saddens me that they're mining the Simple series and they won't port over Zombie vs Ambulance. I want to play that so bad ut don't know anywhere around here to get my PS2 modded.
This is what me and my best friend would do in a zombie attack. Seriously. If you're going to chop up some zombies you may as well look dead sexy doing it.
Bikini Zombie Slayers? What a title. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
Did you say... "Wii"?
Ok, at least I'll rent it. At least.
Sold and sold.
When I saw the title thought, "Zombies in bikinis!?! HAWT!" Then I read the article. Very disappointed.
It's got two of the things I love, sexy women in bikinis and zombies!
Can't wait! ^__^
I've got one of these games on PS2, and it's fun for about 15 minutes....Unless they add some different weapons or something to this, or it's 20 bucks, I'm not checking for it.
Do want... provided the price is right.
hot anime inspired asians + zombies + bikinis... (not zombies w/ bikinis) = win... actually hot zombies w/ bikinis couldn't b too bad..
I actually look forward to this but am a bit wary of this reworking for US audiences. Yes I am one of those purist that likes subs over dubs in many Anime. I mean its a Bikini Wearing Zombie slaying game it almost needs the Japanese sensibilities to make sense at all and may get over done here or loose itself to it(not to say the game isn't supposed to be wacky in its own ways). Basically the game can take it self seriously even if the concept is absurd but often times here games like these become over the top loosing the feel of the original game.
But hey I am not really one to say I have not played the previous Japanese releases its just that Purist Anime Otaku blood boiling about having flashbacks to a horrid California Girl Devil Hunter Yoko. I hope the game remains fun and if so I will pick it up I mean what else does one need bikinis check, swords and blood check, and zombies check seems like a perfect concept to me.
Sorry the proper term should be Valley Girl on my Devil Hunter Yoko reference. But Oh my god it made the show like suck major ass.
They can have some of my money.
Any idea what color they're gonna have for the blood? I know the import has like 10 different colors and none of them were actually red. Green was funny, there's a pinkish color and purple looked cool.
