I found one page scan of PlayStation version of Onimusha from EDGE 73 from July 1999.



Are there other informations about PSX version from other game magazines? Time frame is April 1999. to October 1999.

Here is short history about game:

According to Gamespot Capcom officialy announced game in April 1999 and Japan release date was planned for Winter 1999. Name of the game was Onimusha: Demon Warrior. According to wikipedia: The PS1 version of Onimusha was about 50% complete before it was cancelled.

Here is link to "rumor" about Onimusha switching to PS2.

At Tokyo Game Show 1999. Capcom official announced that Onimusha became PlayStation 2 videogame. Tentative release date was summer 2000. Here are more info from IGN.

Here is something important: Capcom on that TGS released 3 videos of PSX version: Intro CG, Battle montage and Puzzles and battles. I cant find this videos only. According to GIA: Of particular interest is the introduction movie, highlighting some of the most realistic human figures ever seen in computer-generated FMV.

And I found only 2 videos:

Wow, that's very interesting. Never knew that the game was supposed to be a PSone game before.
Since this is the first I hear about it, I don't think I can help much though. :-/

All I can say is that the US title Onimusha: Demon Warrior is a little strange as it's literally Demon Warrior: Demon Warrior.
Since Oni means demon and musha mean warrior in Japanese.
