Okay, I'm not sure if these are actually new, but hidden within D3Publishers' assets for Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad (Xbox 360) and Bikini Zombie Slayers (Wii) were a few screenshots we hadn't posted before. So here you go: more bikinis and zombies.

With today being Halloween--and, apparently, heroine Onechanbara's birthday--D3Publisher has issued a new, celebratory trailer for Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers (Wii) and Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad (360), both due in early 2009.

Following up on yesterday's revelation that Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad (360) is coming to North America, D3Publisher has announced that both Bikini Samurai Squad and the Wii sequel Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers will arrive on the same day.

Beyond a vague "early 2009" promise, D3 did not specify when North American gamers will be graced with developer Tamsoft's take on barely legal zombie slaughter. Instead, the company provided screenshots from the Xbox 360 version, perhaps in an effort to distract its target audience with bikinis, cowboy hats, schoolgirls and the undead.

Roughly a month after D3Publisher announced that it would be bringing the bikini-clad heroine Onechanbara and her zombie-slaying antics to the Wii next year, the studio has revealed its plans to publish the Xbox 360 release in North America as well.

Much like the forthcoming Wii version, the Tamsoft-developed Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad has lead Aya and her schoolgirl sister Saki batting against legions of the undead in both singleplayer and cooperative multiplayer modes. Read more »
