Some of the remake's voice cast announced.

[luminous_manic]

Fellow otaku such as myself will be happy with who does who. And if you don't care, good for you, skip this. Fuck.:

* Travis Touchdown: Kazuya Nakai (Mugen, Roronoa Zoro.... PERFECT.)
* Sylvia Crystal: Marina Inoue (Yoko from Gurren Lagann)
* Dr. Peace: Chikao Otsuka (Dr. Eggman, Goemon Ishikwawa XIII... ALSO PERFECT.) * Shinobu:

Great. Now I'm going to imagine Simon calling him "Sir Kamina Motherfucker"

[luminous_manic]

I must say, I was surprised with this choice myself.

Oddly enough, Suda51 made a Samurai Champloo game, so first I laughed about it and then I was like 'HEY WAITAMINNIT...'

[kojikatsuya]

SUDA DID THE SAMURAI CHAMPLOO GAME???

I kinda ignored it because it looked bad, but now...

[luminous_manic]

Yeah man, that was his work. It's was 'alright', but it had an interesting take on the whole 'hack and slash' action with rhythmic beatdowns.

GUHHHH!!!

[manachwan]

I will have an effin orgasm! That is too awesome for words.
Mugen-Zoro-Travis has made this a must have now.
And I am so mad. I love Inoue Marina but hate Sylvia. ^u^'
And Shinobu has a couple of redeeming voices. Saya from Blood+ and Ami from Toradora!. Saya especially. That's too fitting.
And while the other voices do mean something for me... After those three, Kamina-Henry is all that matters.

The voices alone will definitely get this NMH lots of attention.

Now we just need a Simon. Throwing in Megumi Nakajima somewhere wouldn't hurt either. (But I guess we need to wait until an idol assassin comes around? Maybe I should send Suda something about that...)

Yeah. I'm just going to go orgasm now. Sorry I had to repeat it.
And ya know, half of those seiyuu are probably bigger here than our own VAs are. And their own Japanese fans make up a surprising population too.
Wow. Go grasshopper. Perfect bloody effing cast.

Re: GUHHHH!!!

[luminous_manic]

Honestly, Simon for Harvey. I can see that.

And seriously, you'd think 'NMH with japanese cast? Kinda odd...' then you see who is who and you're like 'Man, I actually DO want to get this port~

Re: GUHHHH!!!

[manachwan]

That would be.... awesome. Do we know who Harvey is?

Those were my exact thoughts. A small part of me was 'cool!', but most of it was 'hmmhmegghh'.
The port is a must have now.

Re: GUHHHH!!!

[luminous_manic]

Harvey wasn't announced yet.

Also on another note, Ubisoft said 'NO' to publishing it in America, but Marvelous is looking for another American publisher. Just saying, Capcom is an obvious choice.

[rikasaurus]

Mugen?

As in Samurai Champloo's Mugen?

I approve if this is the case! :D

[rikasaurus]

And oh my god Kamina, too?

I think I want to play this game now lmao

[luminous_manic]

XD Well, if that's what it takes to get you into a rather baller game, then so be it!

[luminous_manic]

Yup, the very same!

As I said to someone, I find it funny that Suda made a Samurai Champloo game and he felt that NMH was 'like Samurai Champloo with its own universe'.

Plus that rebellious stubborn headstrong attitude that makes Mugen and Zoro cool fits Trav.

[lord_robo_ky]

Who the fuck is Quinton Flynn?

[luminous_manic]

Yoiks, man....

But yeah, he's Kon currently. Also worth noting he's Raiden from MGS, and also does alot of American cartoons. Also is a writer for most games as well.

[kojikatsuya]

*laughs* He's Marcus from Digimon Data Squad....

[kojikatsuya]

He's also Reno from Final Fantasy VII and Axel from Kingdom Hearts II. Got it memorized?

[azrael_mr]

Dr Peace + Goemon = LOVE

Too bad I probably won't buy this if they're selling it at full price. Love the game, honestly, but I didn't even pay full price for the first one when it came out on the Wii. I damn sure I aint shelling out fifty bones for a game I played through already. Added content is good, but I don't care for extra boobs in my NMH.

[luminous_manic]

Hopefully, if and when Ubisoft brings it over here, they'll be smart enough to at least make it 30 - 40 bucks or so; I can't imagine paying FULL price for a PS360 port of a Wii game, even if I did enjoy it. Will probably wind up getting it, mostly because that's an easy 1000 gamer points/ Full Platinum Trophy that'll make my profile look better.

That, and I'll bite; Japanese Travis I kinda need to check out.

But yeah. Dr. Peace with Goemon's voice actor? Gotta say that was a pleasant surprise~

[azrael_mr]

Definitely a pleasant surprise. Dr Peace being my fave Assassin and Goemon being my favorite cartoon samurai.

[luminous_manic]

Marvellous Entertainment are indeed a smart bunch.
