Zombies Beware! The Blood Sisters Are Making It Ladies Night When D3Publisher Brings the Onechanbara Videogame to Wii(TM) in 2009

   Onechanbara(TM): Bikini Zombie Slayers(TM) on Wii to Be Unveiled
                at Upcoming E3 Media & Business Summit
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Zombies across America will meet their match when D3Publisher
(D3P) brings the popular bikini-clad samurai sisters Aya and Saki to
our shores in Onechanbara(TM): Bikini Zombie Slayers(TM) on the
Wii(TM) console. Bikini Zombie Slayers will ship to retail stores in
early 2009, giving stateside gamers their long-awaited taste of the
series known famous for its iconic characters and heart-pounding
third-person hack-and-slash action.

   In Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, Aya is out to find the
meaning of her IMICHI ancestors, even if it leads to the answer she
does not wish for. Players can master the sword to take full advantage
of the Wii Remote motion controls by slashing, swinging and thrusting
into zombie enemy hordes. Play as either sister Aya or Saki in single
player or with a friend in Co-Op Mode and utilize each of their unique
fighting styles and set of moves. Get too much blood on either sister
and be driven into Rage Mode and gain more power and agility to
destroy enemies faster and deadlier. Every person met and enemy
battled gets the sisters closer to understanding who or what is behind
the zombie outbreak and putting an end to it.

   "Onechanbara perfectly blends the thrill and excitement of a
zombie-filled horror flick with a pair of sisters that pack a powerful
sword behind impeccable beauty," said Yoji Takenaka, executive vice
president and chief operating officer, North America and Europe, D3P.
"Gamers will be delighted that a lot of features have been included to
make a fun and easy to pick-up and play title at a great price."

   Developed by Tamsoft, Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers is
currently rated "RP" (Rating Pending) by the ESRB.
