Muramasa: The Demon Blade Stunning In Stills And Stunning In Motion (Siliconera Preview)

Siliconera: "Vanillaware's first Wii game looked gorgeous when I saw it at Tokyo Game Show last year and I finally got to play it at Tokyo Game Show this year. While Muramasa: The Demon Blade isn't complete it's moving along nicely. The demo gave players a chance to select two missions one with Kisuke, the male ninja in blue, and the other Momohime, a female ninja in pink. I ended up with Kisuke, an agile warrior who can do a one button sword slash combo. Kisuke actually has three swords. Each blade has a different special attack. One kills all of the weak enemies on the screen. Another unleashes a furious vertical wave of energy useful for killing flying specters. Don't get too attached to a single sword, you need to switch between them otherwise they will break. Swords automatically recover over time so I never found myself in a situation where I was without a weapon."

Japanese games can help bring myths to life

How do you introduce people to folklore and fairy tales? Introducing people to mythology can be easy when they are young or in school, as such stories can sometimes be used to teach morals, introduce concepts that might be difficult for people to otherwise understand, act as warnings and get imaginations working. Once folks get older, it can be more difficult to get them engaged and interested in legends. Fortunately, some Japanese video games can step in to bridge the gap.
