Vanillaware working on new 2D action RPG for Wii

Wolfwood | September 05, 2007 | Other | Wii 
The folks behind Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire for the PS2 now have their sights set the Wii, as Famitsu reveals that Vanillaware is developing Oboro Muramasa Youtouden for the Nintendo console. In addition to utilizing very stylized 2D presentation like Odin Sphere, Oboro Muramasa Youtouden is also set to take advantage of the Wii's motion sensing controls. As you will see, the game echews European-styled fantasy for a more feudal Japanese theme this time around.

    I'm intrigued. 2D ARPGs don't come often, almost never on consoles. I'm quite fond of the genre, as well. It will use the Wii remote for sword fighting, which is nice. I'm keeping an eye on this one, and if turns out to be good (and reasonably priced), then I may pick it up. I want to see more, however. Two scans aren't going to make me buy a game.

    I really love the art style.

    Odin Sphere looked very cool graphically, but it was hurt by load times and relatively pendantic level progression. It was at times a beat 'em up, but also an RPG with its alchemy system. Here's hoping the flow is better with this title, because Vanillaware's on a roll!

    Marvelous Entertainment announces in the Japanese magazine Famitsu a new play on Wii entitled Oboro Muramasa Youtouden. It will act of an Action-RPG developed by Vanillaware, at the origin lately of Odin Sphere, using Wiimote as a sword or others weapons. In this connection, two modes of gameplay are announced, one requiring of the precise and repeated movements of Wiimote more for the hardcore gamers, er the other more casual with simple and fast movements. No date of exit for the moment.
