Haha, Princess Crown 3.

The Legend of Kage!!!!

OMG, I can't tell you how long I've been trying to remember the name of that game. I loved it so much in the arcades as a kid and I instantly thought of it again when I saw the footage in this game of the Ninja jumping from tree to tree.

The fact that the game's creators were inspired by it just makes me want the game MORE.

 

[jj984jj]

Haha, Princess Crown 3.

Hopefully with a host of improvements, things are looking good so far. If there is less item management and repetition I'll be happy.

Some of those old pics are widescreen now BTW.

Edit: That was a great interview!

 

[zoku88]

Haha, Princess Crown 3.

Good news for me!

EDIT: Yes, bathing scene. Every jpn game needs one ;P

On the other hand, we condensed the dramatic portions of it. This way, we can avoid how we reused bosses in Odin Sphere, like how people pointed out.

Might make some ppl happy.

 

[Gwanatu T]

I know I've seen that picture someplace before, but dear God if that isn't beautiful. Long live 2D!

 

[Fuu]

JK: We're developing it in the same way as Odin Sphere, so there are bound to be a lot of similarities. But there is one difference: You won't be planting seeds this time around.

I reeeally wish it was "But there is one difference: You won't have huge amounts of slowdown" instead.

 

[Soule]

JK:. . . Also, let's see...the bathing sequence that was cut out for Odin Sphere will make its way into this game in the form of "hot springs." I fought for this to the bitter end.

*Salute*

 

[ThatObviousUser]

*Salute*

Hot... springs? :O

 

[Olaeh]

Will import day one.

 

[_Alkaline_]

It just looks ridiculously good. Almost too good - I hope that the framerate doesn't chug like bitch like it did in Odin Sphere.

HOLY FUCK! :O

 

[Azure J]

I just shat flowers comprehending this game's beauty.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

Man, I am so in love with the graphics yet so skeptical about the gameplay. They are giving next to nothing to go on here.

 

[blu]

yes, vanillaware, give it to me!

 

[LiquidMamba]

Wow. Please, please no slowdown....

 

[TreIII]

My eyes can't conceive this level of beauty and detail!

 

[Twig]

unnnghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

pretty

 

[Soule]

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO

I just got capped this morning fuuuuuuck, what a horrible time to go over the download limit with all these trailers and beautiful pics revealed

woe is me

 

[Hero]

This is one of the most beautiful games ever.

Please, please, please, PLEASE have better gameplay than Odin Sphere.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

fffuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccckkkkk.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

So what are the chances of this getting an English-language release?

 

[Lost Fragment]

It's been announced already. Muramasa: The Demon Blade is the English title.

It has?

OK, I'm all aboard the hype train now!

 

[Fuu]

Localization handled by XSEED Games .

god bless them.

 

[Mashing]

There's no way in hell this game is going to look that good with no slowdown. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment. I believe hand drawn 2d animation is more taxing on a system than 3d animation.

 

[Arkaerial]

Well 2009 will be the year I get the WII - Fatal Frame 4, Muamasa, and Monster Hunter 3 (hopefully it will have a NA release).

 

[darkvir]

simply amazing!

long live 2d!

 

[Caelestis]

Those pics are gorgeous! =o

Wow.

Oh god, those pics are making me light-headed. A couple of things I noticed: It looks like the game supports both 4:3 and 16:9 which I don't think I've ever seen in a 2D game before. I thought before it was just old build shots vs new build shots but some pics are clearly from the same build in both aspect ratios. cool.

And there are shots of both characters going through what looks like the same levels. Since the MMV interview said this wouldn't be like OS it seems like maybe we can choose to play as either the girl or boy ninja instead of being forced to play though story chapters as one or the other (hopefully). Hmm.

 

[somedevil]

don't know if this needs a new thread but here is gameplay footage of it.

[bdouble]

just finished fapping to the gameplay. Very impressive looking stuff.

 

[rollingstart]

that video looked awesome fuck!

 

[lyre]

I'm impressed.

Hype raised to 0.

 

[DarknessTear]

That video is a corrupted piece of shit, though. I can't tell if the actual game had framerate drops or not, because the video keeps going out of sync and it has artifacts and shit on it.

 

[Mashing]

I think it's just the video. Btw, did OS have that 1 screen at a time crap? And why would every adjacent screen be a completely different area?

yeah what was that all about. It was good for most of it then it does go to shit.

 

[Ike]

Video was a POS but damn it looked sweet.

 

[Volcynika]

Very nice!

 

[Olaeh]

I think this is my most hyped game. I might actually buy JP and US versions.

 

[lyre]

Yes, except change short screen caps to long boring flat fields that connects to itself (ie large circles of ground).

Ugh, the video really is borked...Anyway, from what I could see, the action looks even faster, smoother, and more agressive than I was expecting initially. Looking good, indeed.

 

[JaMarco]

this game looks fucking incredible

 

[donkey show]

:OOOOOOO

Shitty vid quality, but fuck... FUCK!!!

It's like the newer Ninja Gaidens, but in pretty 2d!

 

[Ydahs]

This is the greatest looking game I have ever seen O_O

 

[Raistlin]

Unfucking believable 0_0



I can't even imagine what a PS3/360 Vanillaware game would look like. Imagine this sort of thing in HD!?!>!?!

 

[radios shipping overview]

GK: We're developing it in the same way as Odin Sphere, so there are bound to be a lot of similarities. But there is one difference: You won't be planting seeds this time around.

1UP: In what ways does the game use the Wii's motion controls?

GK: We talked about it regarding the controls and concluded that keeping the classic controls for side-scrollers will best fit this game. That's why this game will be using the Classic Controller.

1UP: Apart from the control scheme, are you designing the game any differently because it's on Wii than you would if you were making it for another system?

GK: Not in particular. For better or for worse, this project is not "specialized for the Wii."

Bless you, George.

 

[bathala]

I thought Persona 3 will be my last PS2 game.

One more.
