All I’ve seen ofOnechanbaraso far ismy preview with Dale at this year’s E3,and even though we weren’t allowed to play it at the time, it instantly became one of my most wanted games of the show. No, it wasn’t as graphically stunning asMirror’s Edge, but it’s about a mostly naked chick killing zombies with a samurai sword. Seriously, you would have to be partially retarded to muck up anything with that much potential.
Imagine my excitement, then, when I spied the news that publisher D3 has trademarked the nameOnechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad, on the same day along withOnechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers. Perhaps the final title has not been settled upon .. or perhaps this means we may see moreOnechanbaraaction in the future?
Onechanbarais a popular property in Japan already, having spawned alive action movieand a variety ofPVCfigures. Some of Japan’s big franchises are probably considered too eastern (read: weird) for US audiences, but everyone relates to naked girls and zombies. Let’s hope D3 sees success with the title so we can have more boobs bathed in blood!
