Savvy marketing, this. For the September issue of play magazine, Ignition entertainment managed to get gorgeous Wii side-scroller Muramasa top billing on the front cover. Bottom billing, too.

This amazing, dare we say sensual cover was drawn by Vanillaware's George Kamitani, and yes, it's a tip of the...hat to Hokusai's sexy/creepy classic "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife". Only this time with swords.

Wonder if it ships in a plastic bag...
