Yeah 1 to 1 tracking on sword motions would be good... As well as to do various other things within the game world. My biggest hope for this game is that it will have something more than just slashing at monsters... Maybe some team elements, that has one person puzzle solving how to open a series of doors while the other 3 are taking on monsters.... Hopefully maybe the monsters require an element of teamwork in co-op mode.... maybe a sequence of hits to different areas by one of the four different classes, Imagine taking on 4 gigantic monsters at the same time... all requiring varying hits from a sword, bow, whatever else to be taken down... adding a layer of depth to the multiplayer as well as some puzzle solving.
Still I am thrilled to see more...

This has to come outside Japan. Why would they bother with online co-op otherwise?

It is assumed that the game is on February 11 next year. I do not think we will see in America until 2010.

dont get your hopes up noa has been full of suck lately

I fear that it won't show up in the west, but i hope it does. Am i correct in saying there's no other game like it so far? Seems like it's had a fair amount of effort put into it and it could be really good which is why i'm paying attention to it, maybe it could be a surprise hit over here too :)

Link doesn't work for me.

I agree with this. Online co-op certainly doesn't seem like a feature that a Japan-only game would be given. But we must remember Excitebots, fully equipped with online play, and released only in America

If they think it's too niche, that's the end of it.
