At this year's E3, there was a lot of talk about Muramasa: The Demon Blade being the Wii title "most likely to succeed", and no wonder. Created as a 2D action side-scroller by the makers of hit titles Princess Crown and Odin Sphere, Muramasa was one of the best-looking, best-playing games on the exhibit floor. After that first exciting look, it wasn't easy to wait another three months for it to be released here in the 'States but you know what they say about good things and what happens when you wait…
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.
If I ever get a wii I this is the first game Id get.
If you like 2D games, this is a must own.
The art style and the japanese voice work is tops.
I love 2D games!~
