Shipping with a display stand that is not unlike that which accompanies real swords, the Soul Controller measures 38" in length and is designed exactly like a real Ebon ceremonial Tachi sword. How it works, however, is still a mystery until we get the chance to try it out for ourselves. It ships to Japanese retailers on February 26 and carries a suggested retail price of 14800 Yen ($137 U.S. Dollars).
Also recently announced to accompany the Japanese release of Onimusha 3, is the official Onimusha 3 memory card. Though it's a standard 8MB storage device like most other cards of this type, its front is embossed with a golden Onimusha 3 logo and ships inside a carefully crafted wooden box. Expect to see it on February 26 as well, with a suggested price of 3500 Yen ($32 U.S. dollars).
Photographs of the sword and memory card can be found on the media page below. Chances of seeing either one of these peripherals accompanying the American release of Onimusha 3 later this year, however, are almost unfathomable. Interested parties should do themselves a favor and seek out their closest import shop and pre-order these bad boys as soon as humanly possible. We'll see you soon with more.
