Cool. I was expecting them to bring it over eventually.

Madriker

@Erwin: No, let the dude live. Just make sure every last bit of his life makes him wish for death till the point where he kills himself. You'll feel better at the end of the day knowing that you made him go through hell before he goes to hell.

D Mitsuki

I see they are not only trying to appeal to the "OMG HOT LADY IN A BIKINI" crowd, but are also looking at "OMG LOLI IN SCHOOLGIRL UNIFORM" crowd too.
Kudos to D3Publisher

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

@D Mitsuki: Well, yeah, but you really need to specify which type of activity of the lonely nerd you're talking about then.

And why would you kill someone who wronged you? That's just lowering yourself to their level for some cheap vengeance. Random hits and wrongful death of acquaintances ftw, sir.
(I wonder where this conversation will take me next...)

@Communist_Gamer: Probably rapists too (preferably neither), because "rapers" sounds too much like Rapier, and that's just confusing.

Erwin

@jello44: Bah who gives a rat's ass how it plays? I'm as hyped as I was the first time I heard about EDF 2017.

Northern Cat

Seems well enough, but how does it play?

jello44

@Communist_Gamer: Murder and rape are WAY different things. A man kills my family, I kill him. Rape? I like a woman a lot, but she has no interest in me. No I don't rape her, I mean I'm sure we have all been in those situations to lead to a rape, but few of us have been in ones to lead to murder. (At least a sane kind of murder, like a logical reason behind it, not just some psycho crap.)

D Mitsuki

@Mike Fahey: Play dress up? With what, strings and sewing thread?
@Communist_Gamer: "Rapers" is not a word. I learned it the hard way in Scrable *shakes fist the dictionary"

goldwings

@Erwin: Theres a difference between humping your pillow then buying a anime girl on it and pretending that she's real and she's the only girl you need. Just saying.

Murder isn't cool at all. If you kill a person who has wronged you, how will you ever make him pay for it if you just kill him? Slow painful and prolonged ftw.

D Mitsuki

If the media thinks us gamers are murderers, surely rapers isn't far either?

Communist_Gamer

@Northern Cat: Me too, I would have started with "COME deep inside..."

chuffhoncho

@D Mitsuki: Sex with pillows is as American as apple pie and drug addiction, and I'm pretty sure tentacles can catch on since people here are having sex with everything else. And gamers certainly do it, they just don't brag about such things like they do with murders. Murder is cool, I would totally spill the beans on homicide or just giggle uncontrollably around their loved ones. Rape isn't cool. Ever. Except when pterodactyls and zucchini are involved.

Erwin

Bout damn time. Day one purchase for me.

I_Hate_This_Place

gonna be allover this one

push eject

sold.

Thugmunk

@Northern Cat: I would've made it even sexier. =D

Zero_Beat

YES! My prayers have been answered!

Zero_Beat

@Re1gn: Yes, this would be the US release of Vortex. =D

GamesRadar just posted a story up a few minutes ago (don't remember seeing it before sending you this), and the game appears to be targeting an Early '09 release. Maybe they're releasing both games the same day?

yanya

From the official website:

"Go Deep Inside Aya, Saki, and the Legend of Onechanbara in Multiple Gameplay Modes"

I would have constructed that sentence in a different fashion O_o

Northern Cat

@Erwin: Oh no no no, all that stuff goes on (sans tentacles and pillows...I hope) but gamers generally are not the ones doing it. How many time have you heard a gamer say "Yeah I raped that 5 year old girl." Never because the second said that it would be the top story on Fox next day saying SOME GAME he played was linked to it.

D Mitsuki

@D Mitsuki: Are you sure we're living in the same country?

Erwin

@D Mitsuki: AHAHAHHA lmao

Frologic

I'll take it for 40.00.
For 60.00? No.

ocha

well its gonna have market zombies and bikinis couldnt be any more popular if you added in cake and custard

souljacker86

So games like this are actually coming out in America? I just hope to god we don't get a negative "otaku" image that those otaku dudes have in Japan. Because we don't rape little girls, rape older girls, rape your mom, rape you with tentacles, or rape you with cucumbers. Nor do we sleep with pillows of anime characters on them. (Not saying all Japanese otaku do but all that stuff is still marketed so somebody's playing/using it...)

D Mitsuki

Wonder if there'll be a US release.

Re1gn

So this is Oneechanbara vorteX I take it?

Jeff Paine

Zombies plus bikini girls equals Thorax buying this game.

Thorax

Will this be bargain priced?

GrrSnort

YES YES YES!!

I've written an email to D3 every month since it's Jap release!

Thank you!!!!!!!!1

MetalGearMax

Ah! I am so glad it's being released. I was afraid the only way we would see Onechanbara was the Wii version.. and that would have just made me sad.

Deep13

@Thorax: I will be right in line next to you.

cowondinosaur

If this one sells by cheap, the i´m sold...

Daisuash

@Re1gn:
This is just the American version of Vortex.

beem

@TheRealLameDuck: You just broke the rule you know, and so did I, and we both just lost the game.

D Mitsuki

@goldwings:
Why would you waste an "r" and an "s" on such a short word?

But seriously... I've been looking forward to playing this D3 shovelware since it was announced for Japan. I play Koei's Warriors games, so you know I have impressive taste. As long as it's under $40...

*Joker mode on.*

See, that's what I love about knives. You get to watch all of the emotions as they slowly die. Hey, you wanna know how I got these scars?

*Joker mode off.*

Zero_Beat

@D Mitsuki: A Mr. P. Bear would like to have a talk with you, good sir. Something about enlightenment and cake. I don't know, I'm just the messenger.

TheRealLameDuck

@D Mitsuki: Well, yeah, that's just common sense, torturing a person that is, but getting someone in a position to where this is possible is hard in today's world. Sometimes I wish for the good old days, when soda was a nickel, ladies were fair, kids were raised right, and people were tied up and forced into your car with nary a struggle. Just another reason why society is crumbling.

Erwin

Another thing, I could have sworn that there was a re-release of VorteX that added several additional playable characters - is the US version not including them? Maybe they'll be DLC, like they were for the original version.

Sugoi

YES, YES, YES, FINALLY!!!

canchegundam

I love the subtitle. Bikini Samurai Squad.

Yeah, it's going to sell a lot, isn't it? Good game or not.

Nekusagi

My prayers have been answered. A Japanese cowgirl in a bikini, wielding a katana -- how will this not sell?

Does Not Equal

Scary schoolgirl is scary!
Is it just me or isn't her head a lil' to big?
*shivers*

tehvoid

Oh man, yay! Nothing like a little B-grade hack and slash to help you release stress after a long work day.

Incidentally, anybody who loves the Oneechanbara games should really check out "Samurai Western" for PS2; it's a great title in a similar vein, and the ridiculous amount of customization you can apply to your character (along with the hilarious item descriptions) made it a classic that I still pick up and play from time to time.

Sugoi

Yup. I'm buying this. Looks like EDF2017 to me...and I still play that cheese-fest.

mdarnell

@cowondinosaur: I'll see you both there.

Petezah

Haha. Awesome.

Soon to be bought for the co-op lulz.

Really though, was hoping they would bring this over. Not entirely sure why...

sir_carrot

@D Mitsuki: Dude I have a Haruhi pillowcase. Does that make me a freak? I mean the only rape I partake in is the cucumber variety anyway. ;p

sandal-hat17

I showed my wife this page and she immediately said "We're buying that!".

I love that she can appreciate some bikini-clad, cowboy hat wearin', clothes changin', samurai zombie killin' action.

Billkwando

@D Mitsuki: MOTHER FU-AAAAAHHHHHH! I LOST THE GAME AGAIN!

TheRealLameDuck

@mdarnell:

I still play that cheese fest too, but this doesn't look like my thing while EDF def was.

Lot Krotan

YES! So glad I don't have to settle for the Wii version!!

gyoshi

Dude. SOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome!

KagaSakai

Eh, maybe go after this one. I do have my share of quirky games for the 360 (Bullet Witch, EDF 2017, and Wartech, which I just found again for 6.99). Given how fast those titles got reduced, I expect Oneechanbara to do the same.

relic1980

I want it! But how do I get it without anyone seeing me?

Weepee

Yes! I love these quirky Japanese games! SOLD!

GamePark32

@Weepee: Buy it online.

HT Tenrai

excuse me while i go scream in ecstasy...

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

so is this OneechanbaraX that was release in Japan few years ago?

icepick314

@GamePark32: Quirky Japanese games? You make it sound a lot better than it is. This is just jailbait covering up for a mediocre game experience. Stuff 12-year olds would buy to show their friends. Look, I'd love to make a witty comment about how great it is to be a gamer these days and bahblahblah, but getting serious here, I just don't see the appeal. I'd buy it for a friend. As a joke. But not if it costs me more than 10 bucks.

PBz0r

Different than the Wii version, you say? Then I may have to get both!

I was thinking about getting the Wii game purely as a discussion piece at parties. "Hey guys, check THIS Wii game out!" But I may have to pick up the 360 game for achievement points...

Sargus

Sooooooooo....what are the physics like?

Ryodestined

@Ryodestined: What kind of question is that?!

boopadoo

So where is the europe version? *crys*^^

Europe need niche titles too. Even if it's the loliXzombieslasherXsexycostume genre.

Schabrak

The wii version was going to be an instant buy for me but with the 360 version coming I definately will be going for that version. The 360 OneeChanBara has higher production values, a larger budget and way more red gooey stuff. Not to mention DLC and crazyness. Hell maybe I will get both if their release days are are a long while apart.

ninjikiran

=( i envy 360 owners, i want this game too. =(

nekotails

There better be a Euro version, just because you guys can have doesn't mean us Aussies should have it.

PirateMan

@Ryodestined:
Their breasts jiggle a lot.

accela

I may have to re-purchase an 360 for this. I'm a huge fan of these quirky japanese B-level games. I consider EDF 2017 one of the best games of 2007.
