Gamers will be “pleasantly surprised” with Muramasa localization, will have subtitles

This information comes from a recent 1UP Yours podcast…
“We’re going to have the English build playable on the show floor at our booth at E3… [Localization is] going great. I think people will be pleasantly surprised that we’re leaving a lot of it in tact and we’re not [messing] with it so much. There will be subtitles available…That’s a reveal on that podcast.” – Director of Business Development, Ignition Entertainment
I know a lot of you were pretty surprised (myself included) when XSEED said that they were no longer the published of Muramasa. However, it seems as though Ignition is doing more than a respectable job with localizing the title.
