Dynasty Warriors 6: Special coming to PSP, has new stuff photo

Dynasty Warriors 6 was supposed to be the current-gen debut for the series, yet it was the PS2 version of the game, Dynasty Warriors 6: Special, that was infinitely superior. This was mostly thanks to Koei de-cloning a number of characters and giving them unique weapons, such as Zhang He's claws, Taishi Ci's beatin' sticks and Cao Pi's sword. It was a strange move, but at least it now means Dynasty Warriors 6 is heading to the PSP.

The superior version of DW6 will arrive in portable form with a number of brand new features, including Empires' Meng Huo as a playable character, new costumes and the ability to do "Air Musou" attacks. Koei Warriors also says that "six new de-clones" will be available, but it's unclear if they just mean the original Special de-clones, or if six brand new movesets are being introduced for the PSP version. 

Dynasty Warriors games seem to work really well on the PSP, not just because the hack n' slash simplicity seems better suited to portable gaming, but also because Koei does an amazing job of fitting a huge amount of content onto one little UMD. This should be a good time.

As long as it's got the maps of the grown-up game, then this should be awesome. Oh, and wireless play would be nice. I know so few people who have a PSP and so few who like Dynasty Warriors, the venn diagram has just me in the centre.
Still, it gives me a reason to use the PSP as more than just a shiny paperweight.

It's been a long time since I bought a dynasty warriors game and this one sounds like it would be a good investment. I might just go for it.

Just to confirm Jim it's the 6 decloned from DW6S on the PS2, not 6 new declones. ^_^

And the air musou apparently comes from DWSF..
