Muramasa: the GameStop preorder bonus
Click to Marvelous-sizeWe didn't
dare think it could happen, but when we saw the pre-order bonus for Japanese copies of
Muramasa: The Demon Blade, we secretly wished for Ignition (well, XSEED at the time) to bring something
half as awesome to us here. The bonus is a
five-foot-long scroll featuring a series of amazing pieces of character art from the game.
GameStop has just revealed the North American pre-order bonus, and it's
exactly that! We couldn't be more thrilled. Well, we
could be more thrilled if
two things happened:
- We confirmed that the back of the scroll had the same enemy and stage artwork as the Japanese version
- We found out that GameStop's September 1 release date (a Tuesday!) was the real release date for the game.
We've contacted Ignition about those two points. In the meantime, we can all enjoy the prospect of getting a really nice-looking free thing by buying another thing.
