SNK's masterpiece sword-fighting action game along with Samuspi
The "The Last Blade" series is one of SNK's classic sword-fighting action games along with the "Samurai Shodown" series.
The first game in the Samuspi series was set in 1788, and subsequent games have been set in the years before and after that time, but "The Last Blate" is set in the final days of the Tokugawa shogunate and makes use of the unique settings of the end of the Edo period, including the Shinsengumi.
"Bakumatsu Roman Special Edition: The Last Blate- Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiriyuku Hana" was released on the NeoGeo Pocket in March 2000, and is a fighting game featuring deformed versions of familiar characters from the NeoGeo Pocket.
The game is based on "Bakumatsu Romance Act II:The Last Blade- Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiriyuku Hana" (Bakumatsu Romance Act II: The Last Blade of the Moon, Scattered Flowers).
There are also some specifications unique to the NeoPoke version, including two mini-games: "Houmuran Race" with Jyusan and "Escape from Hell's Gate" with Shikagami (purple mirror).
On the Nintendo Switch, two players can play against each other in table mode or portable mode, so enjoy tense battles with family and friends!
"Bakumatsu Roman Special Edition The Last Blate: Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiriyuku Hana" will be available on Thursday, October 29, 2020! The price will be ¥800 JPY (tax included) ($7.66 USD).
It can be downloaded and purchased from My Nintendo Store or Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch!
Web Comic Distribution & Samuspi Entry!
A message video from SNK producer Oda has been released in conjunction with the distribution of "Bakumatsu Romance Act II: The Last Blade- Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiriyuku Hana"!
The video mainly focuses on the aforementioned "Bakumatsu Roman Special Edition: The Last Blade- Tsuki ni Saku Hana, Chiariyuku Hana", but there was also some exciting information!
Tapas Media, a leading digital publisher in the U.S., has started distributing a web comic of "THE LAST BLADE", the English version of The Last Blade.
Currently, the webcomic is up to episode 4 and will be released one episode per week thereafter.
The story consists of 12 episodes for each of the two seasons, and the first 6 episodes can be read for free, so be sure to check it out!
You can read the first 6 episodes for free at Tapas Media's "THE LAST BLADE" page!
The text is in English, so it's a great way to learn English!
And at the end of the video, the director of "SAMURAI SPIRITS", Mr. Chikatani appeared! At the end of the video, "SAMURAI SPIRITS" Director Chikatani appeared and gave us a little information about the Season Pass 3 that is currently under development!
The characters from "The Last Blade" will be joining the game!
I'm wondering what will be done about the different time settings of these two works.
I heard that the character who will be participating in the game is a favorite of everyone, but it will not be "Genbu no Ou" (the Lord of Genbu). Too bad!
If it is Akari Ichijo, who is talked about as the real candidate, will she be voiced by Mayuko Asakimura ( now Mayuko Omimura)? Let's wait for further news!
