Tecmo Koei has today announced a "unique partnership" with Nintendo as it plans to bring the Wii-exclusive Samurai Warriors 3 to North America. Billed as an "evolution" of the previous games, with a new game mode and storyline, Samurai Warriors 3 was a pretty huge game in Japan, and Nintendo was all over it when it launched over there. Surprising that Nintendo of America is just as keen though.
In any case, SW3 is a pretty robust package, featuring online co-op and a special game mode inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's Famicon title Nazo no Murasamejo. I'm quite looking forward to it in any case, so the rest of you can f*ck off!
Nintendo and Tecmo Koei Team Up to Create a New Breed of Warrior
REDMOND, Wash.-- Nintendo today announced a unique partnership with Tecmo Koei to publish Samurai Warriors™ 3, the newest title in the Samurai Warriors franchise, exclusively for the Wii™ console.
Launching in North America in fall 2010, Samurai Warriors 3 is an evolution of the Warriors series, featuring an innovative new game mode and a completely fresh storyline.
In addition to a host of new characters and combat and game-play elements, the game also will test players with new tactical and strategic challenges on the battlefield.
Samurai Warriors 3 offers two-player online and offline co-op with enhanced sharing features. The game also uses a special new game mode that offers players unique control of characters never seen before. This game mode is based on the Famicom game Nazo no Murasamejo (The Mysterious Murasame Castle™) inspired by Nintendo video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto.

Now if only Nintendo would put Nazo no Murasamejo on the US VC. That game is freaking epic.
WTF? Necessary?
Why yes, it is necessary, given that this game has essentially a Remake of NnMJ, yet the original game itself isn't on the US VC. :<
And racial slurs are the best way to express that?
Anyway, it's nice to have a new system to get excited about upcoming games, for. I think I'm more likely to play this on my Wii than I would be to play the games that heve been released for 360.
1. Kinda hard to be racist against your own race. N-word privileges and all that.
2. If you're offended by simple words, the internet probably isn't for you.
It's not hard to be racist against your own race, at all. It's also possible to not like that word, even when another black person is using it. ESPECIALLY when another black person is using it. But whatever.
Somebody call?
So you'd walk into a room full of black people and say that? I'd enjoy seeing that very much.
I just don't see the point of spouting off slurs in the comments for a video game, and I hardly think it's up to you to decide my opinions. If you'd had some of my experiences, you might be "oversensitive" too.
Anyway, you don't have to agree with me. Just ignore my comments. It's not important enough to argue about.
Just because I think holding up certain words as sacred is stupid, that doesn't mean I'm willing to get shanked.
Some things bother you a lot more than they would bother me, and this is an example of something bothering me a lot more than it would ever bother you. Just because you don't share someone's disdain for something, doesn't make them "fucking oversensitive". It doesn't hurt to look at things from someone else's point of view, from time to time.
On topic, SW is way fucking better than DW, so maaaad hype for this.
I agree the term could be offensive if someone chose to be offended by it. What I argue is that being offended merely by words is silly. If anything, you just give more power to that word and, by extension, the actual bigots that want to use such words as weapons.
A: Said it was a racial slur. Which it is, according to any dictionary.
B: Said it was possible for people to be racist against their own race, in response to Tira saying it was hard to be racist against your own race. I wasn't calling him racist at all, just pointing out that racism against a person'a own group is a real thing that can/does happen.
I just think it's ridiculous to bring any slurs like that into a post about a video game, but that's just me. If he would have used a gay slur, I still would have asked him if that was really necessary. I don't see the point, maybe someone could explain it to me?
To a lot of people the n-word is not just a word like any other, and they have valid reasons for feeling that way. I agree that it would be great if the extraordinarily negative connotations of that word could be magically forgotten or ignored, but this is reality.
I can't believe I wrote all that, it's absurd trying to explain this kind of complex issue on a post about Samurai Warriors 3. Hijacked thread is hijacked.
More importantly, when are you going to post your FFXIII review?
And Koei, you stop announcing new titles until you have a NA release date for Hokuto Musou!
