Imho it'll be PSN/Live release of improved Muramasa. |
Except Muramasa did sell well, that's why Ignition said they were happy with sales.
A PSN/Live release wouldn't be a new title. Plus Vanillaware said they wouldn't do it not long ago.

What does VanillaWare have to do with Ignition's happiness?
|
If Ignition is happy as a publisher, I don't see why the devs wouldn't be happy either. They're both in it for money you know...
Plus this interview was in Nintendo Power.

I still don't see the significance. Ignition pays a fee to get the license to translate it and release the product in America. Vanillaware doesn't get anymore money, so the NA sales wouldn't affect them at all.
It's like Japan Studios coming saying that they're happy the game is selling well in America.

It just means they have fans in America.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
