Clearly, wishlist numbers do not instantly correlate to gross sales, so this does not actually assure something. That being stated, it does inform us the sport is trending nicely amongst shoppers previous to launch, so it is more likely to get off to a very good begin.
There might be many causes for the sport’s wishlist momentum. Onimusha followers who’re desperate to see the collection return, those that get pleasure from motion video games generally, and individuals who have, justifiably, a whole lot of belief in Capcom might all determine Method of the Sword is price their consideration.
The playable demo definitely helps, and whereas it drew some criticism for being on the simple facet, Capcom has since assured the full game will be tougher.
For what it is price, assistant editor (and large Onimusha fan) Robert Ramsey played the demo to death again in June and got here away feeling very optimistic.
