Oboro Muramasa's Release Date Confirmed. Also, Trailer.

Marvelous has just dropped word that their upcoming Vanillaware-developed Wii action-RPG, Oboro Muramasa, will be officially hitting Japanese retailers at the beginning of April this year.

Oboro Muramasa follows the exploits of the amnesia-stricked ninja Kisuke and the kinapped-by-demons beautiful princess Momohime through their Japanese folklore-heavy adventure during the Genroku Era in Japan (1688-1704 AD, typically thought of as the "golden age" of the Edo Period).

Oboro Muramasa is created in beautiful hand-drawn 2D by the same studio behind Princess Crown, Odin Sphere, and GrimGrimoire, and has been near the top of my "do want" list since it's announcement. It's nice to finally see a date attached to it.

Oh yeah, they also released a new gameplay trailer for the game. Check it out below.



Oboro Muramasa will be available on Nintendo Wii on April 9, 2009 in Japan. It will be released as Muramasa: The Demon Blade in North America by XSEED and Marvelous, though no date has been announced yet.
