New Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires stuff appears, revel in it photo

It's a slow morning as we come back from the Easter nonsense, so let's sneak more Dynasty Warriors stuff onto the frontpage when nobody's looking. Chief among these assets in our gallery are new scans for Empires that shows off the brand new Nanman stage and the returning Meng Huo character, who was absent from Dynasty Warriors 6.

Meng Huo's weapon takes the form of a giant stone pillar rather than the beast gloves he used to have. My main fear here is that he's yet another cloned character, and will play out just like Wei Yan and all the other characters with clubs in DW6. I hope he doesn't, since I stopped playing the last game when I realized Omega Force was replicating movesets at least three times over. 

Also, I can't explain why one of the older screenshots has Meng Huo holding a giant mushroom.

We shall see. Either way, it's been ages since I played a Dynasty Warriors game, and I'm always up for more.

Personally I'm holding for DW: Gundam 2. I've heard good things about putting Gundams in totally out-of-character situations.

I'm jizzing my pants in anticipation of DW: Gundam 2 next week. I have totally realistic expectations, and I'm cool with what will be delivered. I just need my Gundam fix, and it's been a while since I traded in the first one.

Was 6 any good? I heard it had issues, but I loved 5 and I would really like to play another true dynasty warriors game. If 6 is good, is there a system that it is best for?

Maybe the gian mushroom could shoot spores to get your enemies high? Then you can kill them while they look at their hands in awe.

Hopefully Meng's wife is in this game. She was a total piece.

Sengoku Basara is better, but if there will be more original stuff in this one it would be grate.
