Vanillaware, the same developer behind GrimGrimoire and Odin Sphere, both gorgeous 2D PS2 titles, revealed in Famitsu's latest issue an ARPG for the Wii, Oboro Muramasa Youtouden. It looks absolutely stunning, almost to the point where we're disappointed in other companies for not working on their own 2D games at a similar level. Loading up the magazine scans, which you can see for yourself past the post break, was like sighting the promised land, a brand new colony, from a distance after months of wandering our ruined, post-apocalyptic Earth. JC fell to his knees beside me, tears in his eyes. The amaranthine sun slipped out of view behind us, leaving our caravan to celebrate its newfound hope. We had many hard months still to weather, but we'd finally found a place to call home.

God.. lets hope it doesn't have the same crippling slow down seen in Odin Sphere. Made it unplayable.

I'm a sucker for a good RPG (let alone ARPG).

Cursed swords make life and RPG's the more worth it.

I never encountered any slowdown in Odin Sphere...
Still, this looks cool. I'm not usually big on RPGs, but I really liked OS so I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

Their 2D is too stylized. I want a Suikoden Wii.
