Oneechanbara X
Platform: Xbox 360
Publisher: D3
Review Type: Looky
Version: Trailer
The "Simple" series from D3 is a bargain-priced line of mostly bad games. Lately, though, some developers have been throwing some kooky concepts at the wall. The Zombie vs. Ambulance and Daibijin, in which Godzilla-sized babes clad in bikinis attack are prime examples.
The Oneechanbara games are hack and slash in the vein of Dynasty Warriors. The twist, of course, is that your sword-wielding avatar is wearing only a cowboy hat and a skimpy swimsuit.
Jonnyram of the NeoGaf forums clued me into the word play in the game's title. Oneechan is means "sister" or "girl" and chanbara (which I knew from being a martial arts nerd) means "sword fight." Sister Swordfight has a bit of Tarantino kinda ring to it doesn't it?
You gotta wonder if games like Oneechanbara that have been fairly cheap up until now, will remain interesting at next gen pricing. The YouTube link below lists the game as a Simple 2000 release -- which would imply that the game cost 2000 yen, or around $17.15. Very unlikely. But who knows? Right about now folks in Japan should be getting very creative in their attempts to make money off the unpopular Xbox 360. We'll see what D3 has to say for themselves in the coming weeks.
