Marvelous Entertainment candidly stated during a financial presentation they lost money on three out of the four Wii titles published in the first half of 2009.

The information actually comes from Martin Defries, managing director and COO of Rising Star.

Where does Muramasa stand post release? Is it everything Vanillaware and Marvelous made it out to be?

Two points to consider: 1.) It’s based off Play Magazine’s risque Muramasa: The Demon Blade cover. 2.) It’s size XL.

Europeans don’t have too long a wait ahead of them before they can play Rising Star’s version of Muramasa: The Demon Blade.

The biggest mistake you can make is to let an enemy find their footing — and give them a chance to block or retaliate in doing so — after you’ve launched them. If I had to make a comparison, I’d say that Muramasa feels like a 2D Devil May Cry.

Ignition has been releasing trailers of Muramasa: The Demon Blade showcasing the game’s locales and boss fights. Here’s something they haven’t shown yet, a boar and Momohime in the hot springs.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade is coming to North America soon. Naturally, magazines are highlighting Marvelous’ gorgeous looking game, but the way it’s being advertised in North America is quite different than Japan.

“Should the market be exclusively about 3D graphics, then some who are very talented in 2D would not feel the need for them to get involved in the industry.”

It’s official! The North American version of Muramasa: The Demon Blade will come with the wall scroll Japanese gamers got for everyone who pre-orders the game.
