After a long wait for its release,
Way of the Samurai 3 will finally be in stores for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in North America on October 13. Yes, this is the same game that was released in Japan back in 2008.
Whatever the hold up was, it's finally here. If you plan on picking the game up, you might consider heading to your local GameStop or EB Games. The game's North American publisher UFO Games Interactive has let us know that the retailer will be carrying an exclusive bonus item -- a "The Art and Strategy of the Warring States" DVD!
The disc comes in its own separate case and box, which means that it likely won't be packed with the game. So be sure to remind your friendly GameStop/EB Games employee to give you your damned bonus item. Damn it.

Heads up to all: Not every GameStop is even carrying Way of the Samurai 3! And even then, you cannot preorder for in store pick up!
Be sure to call ahead to your local GameStop. They should all know by now if they're even getting the game.
I've written a bunch about this game. Check me out! :D
At $40 bones, I could really go for that, but I've been burned by samurai games on the 360 before. You wouldn't happen to have a blog comparing WotS3 with Kengo: Legend of the 9 would you?
@ZeroTolo
If that Kengo game is anything like Kengo on the PS2, you're looking at an action game (Wots3) with a story line versus a progressing fighting game (Kengo). Kengo is the spiritual successor to Bushido Blade, which really is a shame. Wots is more about the adventure.
My opinion of Kengo on PS2 was moderate to low, while my opinion of WotS is high to very high. For whatever that's worth.
Well now... If Way of the Samurai 3 is as good as the other two (and I'm pretty confident in thinking so), I'd say that you owe yourself some WotS. ASAP.
Different types of swords, learning moves through use, open palm fighting, NPCs, branching story with at least a dozen endings, blunt side attacks (if you really don't want to kill), forging your own sword from parts that you find, companion characters
... I think its going to be hot!
Maybe I'll give this one a rental (if that's even possible, heh) first before I commit.
