2y agoYay more Vanillaware. Here's to hoping we get the updated Muramasa ported from Vita someday, too I wouldn't say no to Switch ports of Dragon's Crown or the Odin Sphere remaster either.

2y agoHoly crap, finally! I have this game on PS2, and it is fantastic. I've always wanted a port to modern consoles, because I haven't had my PS2 hooked up in ages.
