Anybody gonna Baby that Murasaki up?

[idillicah]

So!

Murasaki Baby is releasing next week on Vita! I was really excited about this game because the art style looks great and the gameplay looks a bit similar to that of Limbo, which I really liked.

However, I've just seen that you use the touchscreen to move Baby (the protagonist) around the level. And I honestly don't think I can put up with that.

I absolutely HATED that control scheme on the DS Zelda games, and I don't think it'll be any better on the Vita.

Any thoughts?

Here's a hands on demo:

Not really sure how I feel about the game. Looks great but then again I don't like touch controls all that much.

We will have a review up once embargo lifts.

I doubt I'll get it soon, but it looks like an interesting game. I'll probably get Firefly Diary before this, unless it reviews terribly lol

I was so pumped about it before I saw the touch controls.

Agreed. FD looks really good. Are you gonna import or wait for a NA release?

I'll wait for NA release. It's suppose to be this fall so I would expect a Oct/Nov release. If a localization has been announced I'll always wait for that version. I rather give them money for localizing a title and hope it encourages them to do it more often.

It has a week 1 PS+ discount, so it's a good time to get. But I'm completely put off by the touch controls. Whoever played Zelda on the DS and thought "YES! That's a good idea!"?

I agree! I read it like 10min after it was published, haha. It's very thorough and confirms my fears regarding the control scheme, sadly. It's a shame, I was looking forward to this game a lot.

Dan and Chandler talked about it on this week's episode of Bad Gamers, too.
