Where there is a new system, there is a new Warriors game, and Tecmo Koei is on hand with a trailer for its first 3DS hack n' slasher, Samurai Warriors Chronicles. You can expect the usual cavalcade of Eastern Medieval button-mashing, but this time in 3D!

I'll obviously be playing this, as I do with all Warriors games, though I still can't help but feel that this one's a little underwhelming, and you should know that I sport a hard-on for nearly all Warriors games. Something seems lacking in this one. Hopefully I'm wrong though. I could always use some portable Warriors nonsense.

Samurai/Dynasty Warriors Games seem like a Christmas tree to me: brought out once a year with all of last years decorations and only a few new. I guess our new ornaments this year are 3D and some simple interaction that would make 1980's pc adventure games weep. Weeksauce.

Looks pretty good to me. We could never have enough button mashing on a portable devices. Its just you Jim, perhaps theres too much 3DS news today you find it hard to get it up.

Wow Jim... i cant imagine why you think this seems underwhelming?!
- Over 40 characters to use.. not including your own that is clearly customizable!
- A fully voiced and in depth looking story system with hopefully branching paths!
That right there seals it for me but I've always enjoyed the Samurai games over Dynasty simply because I enjoy the characters and history more.
Though it does leave some questions... like will there be several different story modes for each faction? or are they going to just try and cram them all into one? and what exactly does "Tag Mode" do?
