Some reviews of Muramasa are starting to trickle in. Reactions have been mixed so far:
http://www.gamerankings.com/wii/943228-muramasa-the-demon-blade/index.html
It seems the big con is that the gameplay is shallow.
I can’t say I’m surprised that some of the reviewers were going to say something along those lines about the game. Also apparently the game may have got pushed up from it’s Sept 8th date to Sept. 3rd shipping date since that’s what showed up in our books recently. It may end up being on shelves by Friday.
Why is Wii Fit Plus More Money?
the bundle is going to go for 99.99 as opposed to what the original was of 89.99. People who already own the board don’t have to worry about the price though since Wii Fit Plus will be 19.99.
Dead Space Extraction Goes Gold:
It’s on the printing press right now.
IGN Guitar Hero 5 Wii:
9.3 I wasn’t expecting that high of a score but with the stuff Viscarious Visions has done with this game (no Friend codes instead they use the Wii Codes, stream from SD, High Capacity SD card support, and having the wii exclusive features of Roadie Battle and Mii Freestyle) I can see why it got what it did. They should put a Nintendo exclusive track up like they did for the 360 (Halo 2 theme ‘Mjolnir mix’) and PS3 (God of War 2 ‘The End Begins (To Rock))’. I’d grab some tracks from [media=youtube]VG4Nvv8w6gc"[/media] since they’ve already done some good stuff.

6.5 had a lot of good points…sucks this game isn’t as good as it could have been. Probably be worth it to try it out when the price drops.

Fucking work computer with the inabilty to upgrade the Flash Player.
I’ll have to wait until I get home to watch it.
Oooohhhhhhhhhhh shhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiitttttt. 
NMH2 looks absolutely insane. I’m loving the twin sword attacks, my god.
I finally get to review it. Even though I’ve been sitting on the JP version for months now. Everybody in this thread needs this game on their Wii. The game is just that fucking good. Just play Easy Mode first to unlock Tsugu-Min and everything after that is cake.
BUY THE MUHFUCKIN GAME!!!
BWAHAHAHA! As if recharging your meter wasn’t obvious enough, they made the meter itself a dick. 
IGN Muramasa review:
8.9 basically mentioned that some things could of course be improved like the mobility aspect of the game and mentioned that the combat itself wasn’t very deep like other reviewers said. Game is still great though with pros outweighing cons. If you play the game on the harder difficulties you get more bosses and more blades. I’m wonder how GT will review it.
Yeah…Muramasa did come in today and I picked up my copy. I don’t think I’l be able to play it tonight though :(.

NMH 2 looks amazing. Im a huge fan of the first. ( i think i played it like 3 times in a row) But this is my most anticipated game on any console right now. January cant come to soon. I really cant wait to try out the new 2D mini games.
I’m hoping to get some quality time with Muramasa tomorrow…will post up impressions and what not

Muramasa is beautiful! If you own a wii and like 2d buy it. Sure the combat gets repetitive but the game is so easy on the eyes. The music is good as well as the story. I’m only about 2 hours in and am really enjoying it. This game gives me a reason to play my wii.
