Nobuhiro Watsuki Works on Shinsengumi Game:
The Japanese Shonen Jump announces that Kenshin creator Nobuhiro
Watsuki has provided Sega's Red Entertainment division with character
designs for an upcoming 3D fighter that the company will release in
December.
The game, Shinsengumi Gunrou-den, takes place in the late Edo period
of Japanese history, at roughly the same time as the Kenshin
storyline, and revolves around similar events in Japan's history.
Players in this swordfighting-action-game will take on the role of
Shinsengumi commander Okita Soushi and will seek to protect the
capital city from a rebel group that seeks to return power to the
emperor. Okita Soushi is a real historical figure, and is joined in
the game by other historical members of the Shinsengumi such as Saitou
Hajime, Kondou Isao, and Tsujikata Toshizou.
