The Rurouni Kenshin PS2 game hits Japanese stores September 4th. The Kenshin fanboy within yearns to pick it up, despite my strong suspicions that it will indeed be the worst possible video game realization of Kenshin's masterfully written second story arc.
Rurouni Kenshin, for those who might not know its pedigree, was a long running manga in Shonen Jump, and followed the life of Kenshin Himura, a wandering samurai with a reverse bladed katana. There is far more to the story, but I would rather not reveal it for those interested in reading the manga or watching the anime.
The game seems to be based on the Shishio story arc, which was the best written, and most popular throughout the manga's life.
No word yet on a US release. Here is a magazine scan with some shots from the game, courtesy of the Megatokyo forums:
