D3 bringing sex and violence to the U.S. with Onechanbara


We've been hoping for a localized version of Oneechanbara Revolution, the motion-controlled Wii entry in Tamsoft's once-budget horror action franchise, since D3 Publisher revealed the game at last year's Tokyo Game Show. The company just announced that we're getting our wish: the series is headed to the U.S. for the first time, under the title Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers.

Players will control one of two sisters, Aya and Saki, who slice up piles and piles of zombies, stopping only to shake the tainted blood off of their swords (lest they become slower and get stuck in zombies more often). Getting blood on the girls, however, triggers a "Rage Mode" in which Aya and Saki attack with increased speed and strength, while their health decreases.

After No More Heroes, we have been slavering for some more sword-based action. Now we're looking forward to E3.

Oneechanbara R is sensual, blustery


The Oneechanbara series falls under the category of "wacky" for a number of reasons. First, and most obvious, is the impracticality of swordfighting zombies and monsters wearing only a bikini. We would want more protection if we were going to carry around a big sword, much less approach the undead. Second, an important part of the game is sword maintenance. You have to keep it clean or it will move more slowly and even get stuck in enemies.

And in the Wii version, as in others, large combos are rewarded with words of encouragement like "Sensual!" and "Bluster!" Doesn't that make you want to slash some stuff? Unfortunately, Oneechanbara-R seems to suffer from some nasty dithering effects in these screenshots, but we're hoping that the old "looks better in motion" chestnut turns out to be true for this. We'd so like an action game on the Wii.

Watch movies on your Wii!
