Oneechanbara: so not-awful it's Revolutionary

Dengeki had a playtesting session of D3's Oneechanbara Revolution, and from what we can gather based on automatic translations, they quite enjoyed the (costumes in the) game. They also seemed to think that the new controls, while requiring a bit of practice, work out well for the action game and create an enjoyable flow. They didn't think it was awful, which is news for the series.

While the idea of learning controls seems antithetical to the Wii ideal, at least they're fun. Oneechanbara Revolution includes a practice mode in which you can just slice up endless hordes of zombies, in order to facilitate the learning process.

Along with the English-unfriendly impressions, there is a nice set of new screenshots. We're fascinated by whatever that on-screen display is in the practice mode.

"PS3 and 360 have DMC, Wii have OneechanBara"

This one 'll be another must have to my list.... damn it, 'll be in debt of more than my soul by the end of 2008, xDDDDDDDD, and we are only at the first month, xD

I am playing Oneechanbara Revolution for 3 days now, and really like it. Especially the movements of the girls are great. So i made a captured Ingame-Video just in the training-room, to demonstrate the special moves and the nice done swordfighting:
