Power of XBox delivers exclusive features to Capcom's first XBox product
SUNNYVALE, Calif. October 26, 2001 Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced plans to release Genma Onimusha for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft. Scheduled to release in early 2002, Genma Onimusha is an enhanced version of the award-winning Onimusha Warlords that has sold more than 2 million units worldwide. The power of Xbox is utilized as Genma Onimusha displays more enemies simultaneously due to its powerful graphic capabilities, supports 5.1 Dolby Surround technology and more.
Other new features that enhance its critically acclaimed gameplay include a new attack system, new areas, visuals and costumes, and a new soul rope-pulling fighting system. Set in 16th century Japan, with battle scenes inspired by famed Japanese director, Akira Kurosawa, Onimusha introduces players to Samanosuke, a legendary samurai warrior faced with a quest of epic proportions. Genma Onimusha is rated M for mature audiences by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB).
As part of our multi-platform strategy, Capcom is very excited to have several products in development for Xbox, said Robert Lindsey, senior vice president sales and marketing, Capcom Entertainment. As our first product, Genma Onimusha takes advantage of the power of the system by delivering more action at one time and supporting 5.1 Dolby Surround technology. Our research and development team has outdone themselves by offering an entirely unique and incredibly detailed experience to the massively successful Onimusha storyline.
As one of the premier software developers in the industry, we couldnt be more pleased to have Capcom creating games for Xbox, said J. Allard, general manager, Xbox Platform. We are working very closely with Capcoms development team to ensure they have all the tools to deliver hit products that will utilize the power of our system.
