What the fuck is this? Answers, please!
Also, 10 internets for anyone who's actually played this.
Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Feb 10, 2009
The first Oneechanbara game for the Wii, featuring motion controls. Known as Oneechanbara: Revolution in Japan.
What the shit?
It's like the video game equivalent of a B-movie. Except that people don't want intentionally bad video games, so it will fail miserably (sales wise)
It's a game that if i'm not mistaken is already been out in japan for the PS2. It's just as you have heard by now its a game about killing zombies with a sword and maybe a few guns all the while wearing bikinis and other scantly clad clothes. And if I recall the girls do get covered in blood as well.
This is a well known budget series of games in japan. I think I have said all of this before on Giant Bomb.

Europe has seen the release of these games as well, as Zombie Zone, Zombie Hunters, and so forth. But like nearly every game in the Simple series, they never came out in North America. :(
This game will always remind me of how lame Gamespot is after that censorship thing..
It does look like low quality crap on Wii, basically a muddy port of the PS2 game. The game is for fans of the Manga primarily, I cannot see many people interested in this one.

Edit: What's it called? I can't find any manga with these characters.
I actually think it looks sweet. And if this is an incentive, the achievements are mad easy. You get almost all of them for just beating the game and have to put in a little bit of time for other challenges.
"It's like the video game equivalent of a B-movie. Except that people don't want intentionally bad video games, so it will fail miserably (sales wise)"Intentionally bad video games, hell, just bad or even mediocre video games in general, can be a lot of fun under the right circumstances.
I recently watched a drunk guy play through Pokemon Snap in one sitting while a bunch of other drunk guys (myself included) watched, and it was a lot of fun. The game itself wasn't that fun, but the camaraderie and such was... kind of like watching a B-movie with like-minded individuals.

Sure they do....Sometimes a bit of mindless stupidity can be fun. Not every game needs to be a deep, meaningful epic that profoundly effects the player. As rexualhealing said, under the right circumstances mediocre games can offer a type of entertainment value that an "A" title can't. Oneechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers will be priced as a budget title (under $40), so it knows what it is and its place in gaming hierarchy. Wait a few months and pick it up for $20 or rent it for a weekend. Enjoy the goofiness, and just go with it.
When you're done playing the game, there is a movie out, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTo5dDhFMQ4
"Geno said:Western Wii version will be somewhat upgraded over the already available japanese version though."It's a shame that the Wii's graphics are too bad to take advantage of the theme (who wants to look at grainy, blocky manga girls?)"Get the 360 version then."
