D3 showed off an early version of Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers in their conference room. And by "early version of Bikini Zombie Slayers," I mean "final Japanese version of Onechanbara Revolution." The retail game. Even so, I wasn't allowed to play it! Isn't that weird? And not in the funny, campy way that Onechanbara is usually weird.
I did get to watch the game in motion, and found the visual upgrade over the PS2 version impressive. Apparently the price is getting a downgrade from the Japanese release: the D3 rep said that while they had yet to set a price point, it'll be marketed as a budget game.
D3 also had the costumes from the Onechanbara movie in their booth -- all four square inches or so of costume. I did geek out a bit.

Lowering the price? I suppose that means they won't be fixing the controls. What a shame.

I'd do the one in pink.
No, I don't care if it's a mannequin. Sometimes...mannequins are hot...and they're the best you can get.

Maybe D3 can get Itagaki to do the next Oneechanbara, since he's a free agent now, and this kind of deliberate sexualization is right up his alley
It'd be pretty sweet

Don't you know it. I just preordered it, with super-saver shipping (since i don't get it until late August as a birthday gift anyway), from Amazon for my jubbly mini-poster
