Onlysol Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 A fighting game based on Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan made by ARC System Works!? It's like we've entered a parallel dimension where inexplicably awesome things happen on a daily basis! More screenshots at the official product page Some of the gameplay details leaked(?) from this page on Rakuten: Assemble teams from from over 100 different Yokai. There seems to be two different classifications: Aide and UnderlingBeing pitched as a Team vs Team game, where using your Aides and Underlings well is vitally importantMax 4 players, offline or onlineWhen you defeat an online opponent you get one of their yokai(!) More official info is forthcoming...
Linear04 Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 OH GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE EVER IVE READ THE MANGA THINKING ITD MAKE THE PERFECT FG IM GONNA PLAY THIS GAME NOW FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHH BETTER BE REGION FREE
Sahgren Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I wonder how the fights pan out. It looks like there aren't health bars, so you might be fighting over the bar in the middle. Regardless, I want this. PS. Maining Hagoromo Gitsune if she's available. All you niggas can main someone else.
Xtra_Zero Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Soooooo is this Konami or ASW? Because the link doesn't seem to have anything about ASW that I can find.
iw2ma Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Either way this is something i think can be amazing
Linear04 Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Soooooo is this Konami or ASW? Because the link doesn't seem to have anything about ASW that I can find. maybe konami's publishing it, but arc is developing it, like sengoku basara x? dont care really, i just want to play as kurotabou WHO I SEE ON DAT CHAR SELECT SCREEN edit: im guessing its only till hagoromo kitsune arc, which i assume the anime s2 is covering, i only really read the manga
Hawkingbird Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 ASW developed Hard Corp: Uprising for Konami so I can believe it. Never heard of the manga this is based on but I'm liking the style based on the screenshot
Onlysol Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 i just want to play as kurotabou WHO I SEE ON DAT CHAR SELECT SCREEN That first screenshot on the Konami page looks like it's actually of the pre-fight animation... The Japanese in the middle means "VS"
SoWL Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 The fact that it's 360 only for now makes me die a little inside. I've never watched the anime (or read the manga), but the artstyle seems pretty cool, and I love me some Japanese aesthetics. Too bad that all I will be able to do is watch it on Youtube.
Onlysol Posted August 11, 2011 Author Posted August 11, 2011 It's on the PS3 as well: http://www.konami.jp/products/nura_ps3/
SoWL Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Ah, good grief. Well then, now I can be as hype about it as I want. Perhaps I should check out the manga in the meantime.
Hecatom Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 i never heard of the source material, but this looks awesome, what are the chances of this being released at this side of the world
the_d3v Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I recall seeing an episode of this on Animax-Asia. Game looks interesting. The 4 players plus the bar in the middle remind me of some old DBZ game for the PSX/SS. Hoping we get to see some gameplay soon.
Hecatom Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 yeah its the same thing that i thought when i saw the bar, it gives me the vibe of DBZ Legends, i loved that game (i still have it for my ps1)
xlolxlolx Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 im hyped, the youkai team system sounds interesting
Hawkingbird Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 i never heard of the source material, but this looks awesome, what are the chances of this being released at this side of the world Viz Media has the license for the manga and anime in North America so there's a small chance. Chances would greatly improve if they manage to get a network like Adult Swim to air the anime.
Silius Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 BlazBlue director, Takeshi Yamanaka, confirmed that Arc System Works are helping develop the game via his Twitter account this past Monday. Konami plan to release Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan – Great War of a Hundred Gathering Demons on November 17th in Japan. http://www.siliconera.com/2011/08/11/arc-system-works-are-helping-develop-nura-rise-of-the-yokai-clan/
Onlysol Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 Some more screenshots have found their way to the interwebs, courtesy of some Japanese web store I've never heard of. Check out that link for more gameplay screenshots featuring Rikuo, Hagoromo-Gitsune, Tsurararararararara and others. Particularly hype is that it looks like the full VS screen is finally revealed: That's a whole lot of yokai... ( ゜３゜)
SoWL Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 VS screen? Nah, surely that's a character select screen, right? Judging by the structure of the screen, it seems that you may also use the playable characters as Assists or something, and those "card" Youkais also work as Assists, but are not playable. Still curious about how it will turn out.
Sahgren Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 VS screen? Nah, surely that's a character select screen, right? Really seems like a versus screen to me. The number of cards showing your assists matches up with the number diamonds around the "1" and "2" on the gameplay screen, so it could just be showing the main character + assists each player chose before the match starts.

I know, I know, I was just kidding. Though it does make me wonder how the actual character select screen looks.
BloodyRootBeers Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Wonder how strong natto kozo will be...
Sahgren Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I know, I know, I was just kidding. Though it does make me wonder how the actual character select screen looks. Sorry, I suck with sarcasm. orz When you defeat an online opponent you get one of their yokai(!) Does this mean that you at least get default youkai so that you always at least have a minimum team? And an option to turn it off would be nice, I imagine a bunch of people (like me ) not wanting to play since that'd risk losing some of their hard-earned favorites.
