For $30 there are definitely worse games you could buy for the Wii, but most will likely overlook the title due to the inherent "dirty" feeling you get from playing a game about a pair of sisters who slay zombies while barely dressed. If you can look past its glaring issues and let yourself be taken in by the simplicity of the gameplay, you might just find a worthwhile, albeit poorly explained, game that's worthy of at least a rental if not a permanent place in your Wii collection.
Pros:
+ Controls are fairly simple, but work incredibly well for the Wii.
+ Saki's Beat Mode is refreshingly different from the tedious swordplay.
+ Hacking and slashing is fun in short bursts.
+ Plenty of modes.
+ Nice price.
Cons:
- Nothing is really explained clearly, from the story to the controls.
- Will likely make anyone over the age of 30 feel like a dirty old man.
- Generic techno-rock and bland environments.
- Sets the equal rights movement back about 50 years.
- Takes itself way too seriously.
DHGF: So that’s what “What’s Worth Keeping” will be all about. It’ll be about pairing down my collection with the help of you the readers. You’ll let me know what I should keep, what I should dump, and sometimes even suggest games I might find worthy of being part of my twenty games per console set. In taking this journey with me, you will not only get to know my tastes and preferences better, but hopefully your own as well. Every two weeks, we’ll look at a console and see if we can not only keep my number of games down, but also help you the readers decide if your collection needs pairing down as well. With that in mind it’s time to start this version of the column with the same system we started with two years ago – The Nintendo Wii.
Onechanbara might not be a computer game, but that's not stopping it from getting a boob mousepad.
The almost universally dreadful results of the 30 year history of game to movie adaptations, particularly where Hollywood is involved, are highlighted here by Japanese movie fans in this unsurprisingly abysmal ranking. Here are the top ten movies that Japanese gamers couldn't believe were made into movies.
(Warning: Source is NSFW)
Each of the games mentioned have the potential to make a great movie.
Unfortunately the film devs / script writers rarely seem to up to the job.
That's the most annoying thing about it, The franchise chosen for a movie iteration is usually pretty popular, that's why it's chosen in the 1st place. But instead of using the source material and sticking close to what actually made the games popular, the directors seem to have the need to change everything, and it just ends up a complete mess
Considering the millions and millions of dollars that went into making these movies, I'm surprised at least one of them didn't end up being a fantastic blockbuster.
I mean, statistically you'd think at least one would be good with the amount of cash that went into making them. :(
It was actually popular in Japan?
By the way, I'm still waiting for the Onechanbara Z Kagura game to come out next year. I need something pretty to fap to while cutting zombies in half.
Or Mortal Kombat, for that matter! haha :D
(Who would have thought MK would ever be made into a movie...let alone a good one!)
Fair enough! :)
(Though I'm now interested in knowing how popular the game-to-movie adaptations based off American games were in Japan)
