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.
