Nintendo World Store Muramasa Event.
Pictures and More

Muramasa

Today I headed to New York City to check out the Muramasa launch event at the Nintendo World Store. There was tons of little events going on inside the store all related to Murasmasa such as getting your picture taken with a boss, and getting your name written in kanji. You could also pick up the game with a special limited edition gift which sold out two hours into the event.

Overall it was a huge event and where everyone was having a good time I managed to snoop a shot of the new Nintendo DSi colors.  So Come inside to check it out!
Party time

As I headed into the Nintendo World Store I noticed that there was a lot of stuff relating to Wii Sports Resort on the first floor. It said the Muramasa party was upstairs so I decided to look around a bit before heading up. You always manage to find some cool items lying around the store.

Entrance

There was a giant projection screen playing Muramasa trailers and you could hear music from the game.

Pink and White DS

I spotted a White and Pink Nintendo DSi sitting in a case. The Pink DSi looks a bit more Red than pink.

Giant Fan

I headed upstairs and saw a whole bunch of fans and other asian nick knacks strew about the store.

Tea Set

Cool tea pot and hand fans! Saw a rob in the case below it!

Dramatic Sword

Playing

People were playing the game around the store. All the kiosks on the second floor had Muramasa in them.

Some guy apparently was playing the game for a while as he already reached level 15 with Kisuke.

Game2

Muramasa has a deep weapon forging system where you can use collected souls and parts to forge new swords that help you out as you progress in your game.

Oriental Doll and Fan

More hand fans and Asian dolls, that’s a bright red kimono.
