D3 bringing sex and violence to the U.S. with Onechanbara
We've been hoping for a localized version of Oneechanbara Revolution, the motion-controlled Wii entry in Tamsoft's once-budget horror action franchise, since D3 Publisher revealed the game at last year's Tokyo Game Show. The company just announced that we're getting our wish: the series is headed to the U.S. for the first time, under the title Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers.
Players will control one of two sisters, Aya and Saki, who slice up piles and piles of zombies, stopping only to shake the tainted blood off of their swords (lest they become slower and get stuck in zombies more often). Getting blood on the girls, however, triggers a "Rage Mode" in which Aya and Saki attack with increased speed and strength, while their health decreases.
After No More Heroes, we have been slavering for some more sword-based action. Now we're looking forward to E3.

Is it Onechanbara or Onee Chanbara?
Regardless, Bikini Zombie Slayers is how the game should be known. That's probably the best name for a game I've heard all year.

Three questions:
Will any content from the Japanese version be cut?
Is this similar to the 360 version?
Is it any good?
But yeah, bikini babes and samurai swords and zombies sure sounds like win.
