Super samurai woman: Zombie hunter R

Super samuai woman R There’s a game in the works for Wii which looks exactly like Devil may cry, instead it features a lead character who looks like a female stripper instead of a white haired male one. I honestly couldn’t stand Devil may cry. I found the first game in the series to be so boring and monotonous that it put me off of games number 2 and 3 and has me not caring in the slightest about the forthcoming Devil may cry 4, 5, 6, 7, DS and 8 EX+ alpha. So the prospect of playing a similar game albeit with Wii remote controls doesn’t do much for me. But I could see why others would be interested in this game. It certainly looks better than Soul Calibur legends.

Screenshots don’t do this game much justice because it really does look just like Devil may cry. I have a feeling once we see some gameplay footage of this game it’ll also run like Devil may cry with developers quick to say “No, no, no! It’s all about the controls!” But we’ll see. It’s just good to see a game on Wii that doesn’t involve chibified characters running around and ghetto ports of Xbox 360 and PS3 games. A zombie slasher game starring a slutty looking character who looks like an extra from Christina Aguilera’s “Dirrty” video will definitely help shift the Wii’s kiddy image.

I should probably mention that Super samurai woman: Zombie hunter R is not the official name of the game. I just made it up. Famitsu’s page is entirely in Japanese and I can’t read Japanese. So I’m not sure what the title of the game is. So if a  DD reader who can read the good language can scour the Famitsu page and enlighten us with the name of the game - that’d be super! Until then, it’s Super samurai woman: Zombie hunter R.

**UPDATE: October 29, 2007** DD readers have dropped comments and identified the name of the game and it is called Onee chanbara R. It’s actually a series and has seen games released on the PS2, Xbox 360 and even on cellphones. So that’s that!! A shame though, because I quite warmed to the title Super samurai woman: Zombie hunter R.

      “ghetto ports of Xbox 360 and PS3 games” This is probably a direct port of the ps2 game that has been around for years now.

      An interesting idea, but the gameplay is horribly generic. Not even close to Devil May Cry’s which has a lot more depth to it.

      I’m sure it’ll be a great rental when it comes out (supposedly the 360 is getting a version as well sometime next year)

      this looks a whole lot like Oneechanbara 2 from the ps2, probably because it is. i just hope they dont charge $50+ for this. i for one am not willing to pay that kind of money for a game that was made specifically to be a budget game. i dont care what system its on.

      If it’s the newest game, it’s Oneechanbara Vortex, which i was aware of only as an Xbox 360 game. I think D3 is working on localizing it to be published Stateside.

      I thought “No More Heroes” is the one helping to shift the Wii’s kiddy image.

      Ok, so what i said before was a bit out of date. http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/7/929267_68882_front.jpg Japanese box art for Oneechanbara VorteX

      The Famitsu one’s Onechanbara R, which appears to be a Wiimote-focused reiteration featuring only Aya (Vortex has Aya and her younger sister (both of whom use katanas), as well as a female cop who uses guns. i can’t read many Japanese kanji, so i can’t say much of anything for sure
