A new trailer for upcoming Wii sidescroller Muramasa: The Demon Blade found its way onto YouTube yesterday and, naturally, we are thieving it for our own sordid purposes. After the jump, you can check out the latest footage from Marvelous Entertainment's slice 'em up.
The game looks incredibly pretty, but I'm concerned about the gameplay. When I tried it out in Tokyo last year, I was a little disappointed. It played decently, but a little blandly. Hopefully that was because everything was in Japanese and I didn't know how to do any of the cool stuff. At least it's gorgeous, and has big, red, half-naked, bearded demons. That's important.
Make sure to hit the jump and check out the trailer.

Not to say that Odin Sphere is bad or anything....just...ya know...had issues. Still, Muramasa looks pretty good.
And I prefer it that way.
...What were we talking about? Something with Odin Sphere?
That's really good to know, I had not heard that.
Personally, I found Odin Sphere's system very enjoyable, in the extra challenge it wove throughout the combat. It was micromanagement, but it felt organic to the gameplay.
This is the only reason I have not sold my Wii.
Anyway, I love sprites, and I think this may be one of the best looking games I've ever seen.
