Muramasa: The Demon Blade EU Release Confirmed and New Screens

Rising Star Games announced that Muramasa: The Demon Blade, a game developed by Vanillaware, will be released in Europe on November 13th, 2009, exclusively for Nintendo Wii. Based on ancient Japanese lore, Muramasa: The Demon Blade plunges players into the mystical Genroku era, ruled by the skilled shogun Tsunayoshi Tokogawa. But this culture is threatened; Tokogawa's thirst for power leads to a conflict over the enormously powerful, though cursed, Demon Blades. Players take on the role of a male ninja or female kunoichi, utilising their ninja prowess to traverse the clever side-scrolling levels that feature vertical progression as well as the traditional horizontal stage advancement.
