Babes & bikinis & blood, oh my!
The latest installment of the Onechanbara series will debut on Xbox 360 next week in Japan. Is it significant that this cult franchise has jumped from PlayStation 2 to Xbox 360? Has Microsoft finally scored a key victory in Japan? Definitely not. In fact, Microsoft likely prefers to distance itself from this unexceptional achievement. As Onechanbara Vortex opens we find our heroine washing off the day's grime, her schoolgirl sister eyeing the news just as zombies emerge. Newly rinsed, our heroine elects to don a cowboy hat, bikini, and blade, and, joined by sis, embarks on a bloody quest to save the world. The one-button hack n' slasher is rounded out by a dress-up mode. While seemingly an amalgamation of two high-profile titles -- Dead Rising and Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 -- Vortex's budget production likely means the game will never see release outside of Japan.
Admit it, girls with swords are awesome
While typing up the post on the new Saints Row video, I stumbled across some Famitsu images of the Japanese game, Oneechanbara X. That's the hero character over on the right: a girl wearing panties, a straw hat, a katana, and what looks like a feather boa. Famitsu was kind enough to print an English translation of Oneechanbara X, which reads "The Devil Evolution Human." Hopefully, when and if this title makes it to the states, publisher D3 will give it a more fitting title. Allow me to suggest one: "The Adventures of Panty Samurai: Escape from Thong Mountain."If a half naked chick with a sword can't move 360s in Japan, what can?
