Oboromuramasa will be released in Japan in less than a month, so Marvelous Entertainment is unleashing the last wave of advertisment-frenzy. Where better to attract potential consumers for a 2D ninja themed game than Akihabara? Marvelous set up several booths at various otaku points of interest throughout the area including Sofmap, Messe Sanoh, Asobitcity, etc. Despite the apparent rain, it seems quite a few people turned out.
At each booth, customers could play a hands-on demo of the game, which started with a tutorial and ended with a boss battle against Kurozaru (roughly translated to black-monkey). Writers at both Gpara and Dengeki that played the demo mentioned they were impressed at the speed of combat, which contributes to the feeling of ninja-action. Other elements of the game such as music and graphics were praised as well.
Those who tried the demo received an additional reward of 3 bromide cards featuring the game’s two heroes, as well as a villain card:
I will simply move past my intense jealousy and instead throw in a bit of comic relief. It appears that at some point in the game, the player can bring their main character to an onsen to relax a bit. I don’t really know the purpose of doing so, but I found the images rather amusing:
I think those are supposed to be Japanese Macaque in the onsen with Kisuke. I don’t know why but I find that picture especially comical, since everyone has a very angry look on their face.
When it comes to Momohime, she is bathing with Kongiku, who appears in the form of a well-endowed woman. Judging by her skin color, ears and the fact that Kongiku wears a leaf on her head, I believe she is most likely a kitsune.
I love the animal lore that is being included in the story, but I just hope that certain translation mistakes won’t be made come localization time. Tanuki does not equal raccoon-dog.
