OMFG.

I wonder if it's just the Wii's amazing hardware sales that allows them to bring titles like this out. I was also surprised a month or so ago when they revealed Capcom vs. Tatsunoko was coming out here.

2010, though...

That's cool. Shiren the Wanderer for the DS frustrated the hell out of me and I ended up trading in the game

Weird, amazon says April, I guess that's outdated?

fujishig · 02-10-10, 08:08 PM

Hmm... just got a note that Shiren shipped from Amazon today. I guess I lost track of it with all the Bioshock hype this week...

Mine should be in the mail today, but I gotta finish No More Heroes 2 first.

PixyJunket · 02-19-10, 08:32 AM

Okay, so I spent a good three hours on this last night (pushing both No More Heroes and Bayonetta out of the way, heh). Anyway, I think if you liked the DS game but found it to be too rough, I think you'll really enjoy this game. Instead of dropping you immediately into a hardcore rogue game, the "story mode" of the game has you going through a series of smaller Mysterious Dungeons while keeping your level. There's also an "Easy Mode" which removes the punishments for death (defeats the purpose of the game, but there it is).

I can't really say too much on it yet.. I imagine this will be a lot like Torneko: The Last Hope in that the game really "starts" once you beat the story mode stuff.

How does this control? Is there an option to use a Gamecube controller or classic controller? Waggle in a rogue-like seems...wrong.

PixyJunket · 02-19-10, 08:48 AM

There's Remote Horizontal, Remote Vertical, Remote/Nunchuck and Classic Controller options.

fujishig · 02-23-10, 06:03 PM

I like games that have classic controller controls and don't use the rightstick. Another game I can play with my Tatsu vs. Capcom stick.

I've only played the first level... Pixy, at some point does it reset you to level 1 for the next dungeon?

PixyJunket · 02-24-10, 07:52 AM

Yes, there are dungeons where you will start on level 1.
