At the time, we wondered why XSEED would decide not to publish such an eye-catching game. The short answer: it wouldn’t decide to do that. XSEED’s Jun Iwasaki and Jimmy Soga gave us details on the Muramasa situation, as well as the recent Fragile announcement, and the timing of Flower, Sun, and Rain. And, of course, they gamely accepted our pleas for Retro Game Challenge 2.

“For the casual gamer, we say this like it’s strange, but casual gamers go to horror movies,” he explained. “There’s a reason that we all started playing survival horror — it was new and different and, ‘Oh, it’s like scary movie that I play.’” According to Hulett the game’s control system, which thrusts the Wiimote into the role of a flashlight, is intuitive enough to accomodate … your mom. “I’ve had my mom try it out and she only plays Animal Crossing, but she can walk around as Harry Mason and run from creatures. It’s really easy to pick up and play. If there’s a casual gamer who enjoys going to the movies and seeing The Ring, they can go to the store afterward and buy Silent Hill and have a horror experience at home.”
Well, as long as they don’t pick up The Room. That’s a different kind of horror experience at home.

First, we tried the canoe game, in a two-player race. The goal in this game variant is to cross five checkpoints before the other player. In this game, the Wiimote is a surrogate for the canoe’s oar, held vertically with both hands as if it were an actual oar.

The localization of Tatsunoko vs Capcom is pretty awesome, no doubt about it. And to celebrate such a great success on Capcom’s part, the company has teamed with I Am 8-bit to produce the shirt you see above, available in very limited quantities at Capcom’s E3 booth for “VIPs and Unity visitors.” On the back of the shirt, Capcom Unity notes that a similar silhouetted version of Ken the Eagle from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman is present, however the blog failed to get a snapshot of that.

If you wanted to see more of the dual-sword moves seen in the Famitsu scans, well, here you go — this video is loaded with shots of an older-looking Travis Touchdown swinging two Beam Katanas around. It also introduces the new assassin Nathan Copeland, who starts his fight with Travis by throwing ladies at him. Even with that weirdness, the tone of this trailer is much more serious than before — though it ends in a very No More Heroes way.
If that’s not enough for you, check Famitsu for new screens!
[Thanks, Mr Khan!]
