Muramasa: the Demon Blade

General
Once and again I get excited about a video game... I mean really excited. Some times I get excited for games on systems i don't even own and so I watch them pass me by. But this time, I'm going to be all over it.
The game is called Muramasa: the Demon Blade (Oboro Maramasa in Japan) and it's being developed by VanillaWare for the Wii and the art looks so fantastic it gives me a boner. It's the kind of project I can only dream of being on.
For those that don't know VanillaWare, they made Odin Sphere on PS2 a few years back, another boner inducing game that I sadly missed. Now, I haven't played the game yet but it's the art direction that gets my engine going. See I'm a sucker for awesome 2D art in a game and this dev team does it like no other. Huge characters beautifully animated all over the screen is enough to make me drool.
From what I've read, the game is being called an action RPG and drops down here near the end of the year. The story takes place in feudal Japan and the character and background designs are fantastic. Japan gets the game this week though and I'm extremely jealous. Oh to live in Japan!
One last thing about this is that the game spouts some nice T & A. A lot of the female characters have HUGE boobs, and there is even a little tease of a hot springs scene as well. All that is okay in my books ^_^ I can't wait to pick this one up. It's going to be HOT.

Muramasa is a spiritual sequel to Odin Sphere... it will likely have the same fighting style and RPG elements... it already has the same graphical style. It'll also probably be read like a storybook such as Odin Sphere was.
If the late PS2 classic tells me anything about the upcoming Wii title, Murasame will kick ass.
If you want, i'm going to Japan again this year (end of april) if you want me to look around for it.
I don't have a modded Wii so I wouldn't be able to play it but thanks for the offer. But if you see any hot/sexy/naughty gashpon capsule figures... I wouldn't say no... I'd pay you back of course. ^_^
And yeah, Odin's Sphere was sheer loveliness in a disk form. They just use the sprites for the cut-scenes. but when you make a sprite look and move as good as they do, you don't even notice. And the voice acting is very nice too.
I only got 2 story lines in though before I got a bit bored with the repetitive gameplay. It was always... 1. Choose a room, 2. Run around in the circle of a room, killing everything by mashing one button, 3. Use Magic to help own everything, 4. Win, 5. Repeat until boss room.
