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.

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.

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.

Rising Star Games updated the product page for Muramasa: The Demon Blade and it looks like Europe will get to slice tengu this year.

“For Muramasa we decided to stick with the original Japanese voices and only localize the text,” Shane Bettenhausen, Business Development Director at Ignition, told Siliconera in a post E3 phone interview.

Xseed was supposed to publish Muramasa: The Demon Blade, but now Ignition is handling the duties. The sudden publisher switch was unexpected. What happened? During E3 I set out to find out.
