Zombies across the world will meet their match when D3Publisher (D3P) brings the popular bikini-clad samurai sisters Aya and Saki to our shores in Onechanbara™: Bikini Zombie Slayers on the Wii™ console. Bikini Zombie Slayers will ship to retail stores in early 2009, giving gamers their long-awaited taste of the series famous for its iconic characters and heart-pounding third-person hack-and-slash action.

In Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, Aya is out to find the meaning of her IMICHI ancestors, even if it leads to the answer she does not wish for. Players can master the sword to take full advantage of the Wii RemoteTM motion controls by slashing, swinging and thrusting into zombie enemy hordes. Play as either sister Aya or Saki in single player or with a friend in Co-Op Mode and utilize each of their unique fighting styles and set of moves. Get too much blood on either sister and be driven into Rage Mode and gain more power and agility to destroy enemies faster and deadlier. Every person met and enemy battled brings the sisters closer to understanding who or what is behind the zombie outbreak and putting an end to it.

“Onechanbara perfectly blends the thrill and excitement of a zombie-filled horror flick with a pair of sisters that pack a powerful sword behind impeccable beauty,” said Yoji Takenaka, executive vice president and chief operating officer, North America and Europe, D3P. “Gamers will be delighted that a lot of features have been included to make a fun and easy to pick-up and play title at a great price.”

New titles for the series or regionalization port of the already released Japanese Onechanbara title for the Wii?

I hope it's a new one as I already have the Japanese one.
Though my Japanese isn't really strong enough to follow the "plot" cutaway scenes... Not that "plot" is why you play these Onechanbara titles...

None of the onechanbara games I've played are what you'd call A-class entertainment, true. But if you can't see the fun in bikini/school girl/PVC clad sword-fighting zombie fighting women, I'm just not sure how to explain the cheesy-joy of these things beyond just renting it and trying it for yourself...

Oh and it's got its own live-action movie too... Japan-only, of course.... = ; )
