The Mysterious Murasame Castle Set For North American Début on 7th August

Looks cool to me. I think I'll pick this up when it comes out here in North America.

This game is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNNNNNNNAAAAAAAALLLLLYYYYY getting released, after so long.

Also, Takamaru for SSB4 :3

On my birthday! ^U^

No Wii U?

When is Nintendo going to release Famicom games in the west?

SSB4 lacks a random retro character like IC or Pit

This suddenly gets a worldwide release just before Smash comes out

Interesting...

about time it gets released here. Now only if NA could get caught up with everything else. Too bad it is for 3DS only. I probably won't get it now.

I hope NoA will localize more Japan-exclusive games... (Mother 1 and 3, Parodius, Kirby Z games...)

Sounds like fun

Anyone else want a new Wii U game in this series? Nintendo Land advertised it a bit so it could sell well enough...

I will probably pick this up. Wish there was a Wii U equivalent as well...

Looks kinda like Zelda1

I'd like to see them expand upon the minigame. Ninja star throwing was good but there was not enough levels and I would prefer each stage to be broken down for high scores rather than having to finish them all. If they could throw in some Swordplay and other origami Ninja activities it'd be a day one buy for me.

It's nice to see that North Americans will finally get a chance to play this game, but I don't think I have much interest in it personally. I don't really play too many NES games.

So that's where one of the soundtracks in the Mario Bros. stage in Super Smash Brothers Brawl is from.. interesting.

@Dpullam No interest?

Is there text and will it be in English?

Wow, I always assumed this was a light gun game, due to the Nintendo Land mini-game. But no, it's top-down Ninja Gaiden. This looks fantastic. Wish I knew if it'd be on Wii U eventually so I could hold off and get it there instead.

Takamaru for Smash!

Will pick this up when it hits Wii U.

Dammit, why isn't Takamaru not in Super Smash Bros. 4 yet? Also this game needs a proper remake, same for The Adventure of Link, Metroid II, Crystalis, and Star Tropics.

I'd probably check it out if it came to Wii U. I prefer to play that over my 3DS.. in fact I haven't been playing my 3DS at all recently and don't think I will until Fantasy Life comes out. Possibly Smash Bros, too.

Great! Now, please bring us Devil World.

actually i feel sorry for everyone who hasnt played/owns getsu fuuma den for nes by konami instead

Surprised we are getting this, now we just need devil world.

@tripunktoj: You beat me to it, lol.

For those hoping it will come to Wii U, I wouldn't hold my breath. Summer Carnival '92 RECCA still hasn't come to Wii U, so I don't see this one coming to Wii U either.

I'd get it if they put it on the Wii U VC.

Wii U VC or no deal, Nintendo.

But guys, Devil World is terribad.

Well, I can't wait for Mysterious Murasame Castle 2. I mean, come on: Japanese garden tech demo? Takamaru's Ninja Castle? Worldwide released of TMMC on the 3DS VC?
Hopefully it's not a 3DS game...

Ah Takamaru Ninja Castle, the only video game my old man has ever been able to engage in, even if for only a brief moment.

Definetly picking this up.

@Joetherocker It's what I've been saying! I think its a way to introduce the character so he's not so unfamiliar if he's announced! I NEED THE GAME!! I NEEEED EEET!!

Maybe this is a sign more Japan only games like the first 6 FE games get localized.

Reminds me a bit of the game Kung-Fu Heros that I used to play on my NES when I was a kid. That game was pretty rad.

@Dr_Corndog
Yeah I want this on Wii-U too. Surely it will come out on both.

To be fair Takamaru played a big role in Samurai Warriors 3.

@Melkac To be honest I'd actually like to see it be a 3DS game. 3DS might need it if it starts to suffer some droughts due to Nintendo focusing too much on Wii U. That being said, it might have more interesting things that can be done on Wii U with the GamePad.

@rdrunner1178 Summer Carnival '92 RECCA. That is all.

Nice! Finally a new Japan-only VC game! Definitely going to get it, it looks nice, and old-school.

Nice, I guess. I do like Devil World better, though.

It'd be cool if they made a reboot of this. As for now, I will happily add it to my collection.

@ModestFan93 Well, I won't say I have no interest. I have a little bit, but I usually don't buy too many NES games. For some reason they can't hold my attention very much.

@Remisio As awesome as that would be, I wouldn't hold my breath. This game seems to have very little text in it. Where as Fire Emblem games are extremely text heavy. Still would be awesome though.

not bad, only took them 30 YEARS!

@Klunk23 I know. There's also the fact that Takamaru isn't being translated for localization. But there are many fan translations around that Nintendo could use. People say that's not likely either, I kind of agree, but it's not unprecedented: there have been companies that use fan translations, touch them up a bit, and then localize a game with it. But I admit it's still unlikely. Some games that are more likely though are FF 1-6 the real ones so we could get FF2, 3 and 5 because SE has translated them for... IOS... So might as well place them I the VC when their games eventually make it. (though most VC games as of late are Capcom and Konami)

I would like it on Wii U, but beggers can't be choosers.

Finally, I can now get to play this game without having to resort to my Japanese 3DS. Though, I'm not a big fan on how NES games are emulated on 3DS and would rather play this game on Wii U instead. Since the Japanese Wii U eShop recently got the same game, I can see it being released on ours sooner.

Would gladly buy this in a heartbeat for the Wii U, but I'm gonna have to pass for now.

A Famicom game, you say? Something that's quite hard, you say?

Where are those eShop cards when I need them?

Aw, yiss.

Sorry lads, Takamaru has just been announced as an assist trophy.

@outburst Better than nothing At least hes part of the gameplay then.
And to be honest, he would have been another sword fighter who throws projectiles. So rather close to Robin there.

@Einherjar
Plus he just have a handful of games. It will be safer to make him just an assist trophy if they decide to make a new game for him. (More freedom and without interfering with his moveset in Smah if ever).

@outburst Yup, my thoughts after i posted the above
Maybe hell get the Uprising treatment, i would definitly welcome that.

@Joetherocker too bad he's a confirmed assist trophy

@DestinyMan "Pic of the day. I, Takamaru, have waited many years to appear in Super Smash Bros.! Link, Samus, Pit, and I debuted in the same year! Multidirectional Pinwheel Knife Rook Attack!! (FYI, I'm an Assist Trophy.)"

Trollolol sorry.

If im not mistaken there was a mode in samurai warriors 3 regarding to this game ,i'll get this game.

@SheldonRandoms he is in as an assist trophy.

I'm waiting to get my new Analogue NT in September & then get a famicom drive with this game, so I can try it out in its original form.

@IceClimbers But I want an HD Takamaru game...the 3DS can wait.

Instabuy

Hey that's pretty cool that he is an assist. The Smash series is about celebrating Nintendo's rich history. So I'm glad Takamaru gets some recognition.

@dquarius My hopes were not only raised the same day, but were also crushed the same day as well. While he's not playable, being an assist is still good, maybe next time for the somewhat blue haired Samurai!
