From the makers of Odin Sphere and the perhaps lesser known Princess Crown, comes Muramasa: The Demon Blade. This title made exclusively by Vanillaware for the Nintendo Wii really shines with it's beautiful hi-res 2D graphics, fast paced action, and very well done art style.
This review is for the Japanese version of the game, which has already reached the top sales list in Japan, making the game quite rare. It hits US shores on September 8th. Make sure to grab your copy when it's released, as this title is expected to be a big success. NOTE: Review contains some adult language, as well as sarcasm. Spoilers at the end of the video.
Nintenderos: "We kick off our interviews this year with a very special one with George Kamitani, president of Vanillaware. In case you didn't know this study, it is the one behind games of the stature of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Odin Sphere or Dragon's Crown. In addition to, of course, unforgettable titles like the wonderful 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim published by Atlus a few months ago."

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.
