The title Onechanbara is a combination of two Japanese words, onee-chan, meaning “big sister,” and chanbara, meaning “sword fighting.”  The game Onechanbara is a combination of zombie slaying, Dynasty Warriors-type action, and co-op.

Things are going to work a little differently with this edition of This Week in Co-Op.  Every now and then, I get writer's block, and I just can't seem to get everything typed out.

What happens when you take the Bikini out of Bikini Zombie Slayers or Bikini Samurai Squad?  You get a girl in a cowboy hat with samurai swords and a backache. 

Check out those ESRB ratings: M, M, M.  I'm pretty sure this is the only week ever where three different M-rated co-op titles were released.  House of the Dead Overkill continues a fine line of co-op shooters, this time on the Wii.  And the Onechanbara games... well, what can you say?  Girls in bikinis, katanas, zombies, and a very large cowboy hat all mixed up into two quite unique co-op gaming packages.  You have to give them credit for creativity, for sure.  Provided below, for your ease of use, are handy links to Amazon.com for each game; purchases help support Co-Optimus!

Warning, the following post is going to confuse, baffle and perhaps excite you.
