XSEED Drops Muramasa

Publisher XSEED Games announced yesterday that they have officially dropped publishing responsibilities of Marvelous and Vanillaware's 2D side-scrolling action-RPG, Muramasa: The Demon Blade (known as Oboro Muramasa in Japan).

XSEED remains adamant about their partnership with Marvelous, and has confirmed that they have not dropped publishing duties of other Marvelous titles, such as Arc Rise Fantasia and Little King's Story.

Though the press release doesn't mention a new publisher, XSEED states that they will "look forward to seeing it release in North America." Whether that means the game has indeed been picked up by another publisher (like, say, Atlus) or simply that XSEED remains hopeful that someone else will pick it up is anyone's guess. Kind of usettling news, though.

Stuff like this just confirms to me that buying a North American Wii is a total waste of money.
