Muramasa: The Demon Blade has been confirmed for a November 13 in Europe.

The 2D side-scrolling action game looks gorgeous, honestly, and it’s great to know Europe is getting the Wii title.

There’s a full game synopsis over on D’toid should this interest you.

The ESRB has rated Muramasa: The Demon Blade for Wii, and the Teen rating is due to alcohol, violence, and suggestive themes.

Suggestive themes including comments like: “It is customary for women to be sold here” and “You harlot! I poured all my money into your establishment and now you humiliate me”.

One female character wears a kimono that exposes deep cleavage with her breasts frequently sway up and down, apparently.

Day one purchase for September.

Thanks, GoNintendo.

There’s no detail apart from that, but hopefully there’ll be more soon.

Ignition will publish Vanillaware’s Muramasa: The Demon Blade exclusively for the Wii this September.
