[Alter] Kongiku 1/8 (Muramasa)

alter kongiku

Shown previously as a prototype earlier this year at several hobby events, Kongiku from the cult hit Wii game, Muramasa: The Demon Blade is up and ready for preorder.

Like Alter's earlier release of Momohime, Alter did an excellent rendition matching the pose relatively exact. The sculpt looks fantastic and I really like simplistic base with the stones and flora. She will be released later next year in late February 2013.

Although this 'top heavy' kitsune will probably never make it to my shelf, I would be very interested if Alter decides to make a figure of the 'bottom heavy' Yuzuruha also from Muramasa. Anyone else want to see a Yuzuruha figure?

Rumor: Vanillaware Games Going HD

Vanillaware's cult favorite RPGs Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Odin Sphere may be re-released as downloadable ports. The two games are reported to either hit Playstation Network or Xbox Live Arcade, which are certainly different from their retail releases in the past.

[Alter] 1/7 Momohime (Muramasa)

As part of their second announcement, Alter will be releasing a figure of Momohime from the critically acclaimed Wii game, Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Standing on top of a beautiful base of rock and water, she can be posed with her sword sheathed or unsheathed. The figure was shown earlier this year at the Winter Wonder Festival and will be released in July 2010 for approximately 8,190 yen.

Muramasa: The Demon Blade Review

While the Wii may not be the best console for hardcore gamers, it does occasionally have a few surprises here and there. Vanillaware's Muramasa: The Demon Blade is one such surprise. Muramasa is one of the most visually appealing and artistic games and a perfect example of art in entertainment. I had to dust off my Wii just for this game, which is a testament to the lack of hardcore games on the system. Will Muramasa be enough to make the Wii worthwhile for hardcore gamers?
