Well, guys, this is Koei we're talking about.

SW3 WILL inevitably end up on PS3, 360, PC, PSP, and maybe PS2.

I mean, Dynasty Warriors 6 is on all 5 of those consoles, when it was previously exclusive to those two consoles.

So, if you have a Wii, good job, go get the game. If not, just wait until it comes out on the other consoles.

Excellent work Sun And Steel You never cease to amaze me.

So we have news on Samurai Warriors Three? Very Nice, Now it's just a matter of time until we can get are hands on it.

As for being the Wii Exclusive, I don't mind since I own one and what not.

The graphics on Samurai Warriors Three is stunning indeed.

It's good to see the progress on which Koei has reached on it.

The new site on gamecity just opened up. Let's see...

Not... Much on there at all. So far, it just looks like general game news in the upper left corner. Other then that, there is a beastly new Tadakatsu next to Yukimura with his trustly ol' Tonbo Giri.

As far as I can tell, SW3 is not jumping on the Renbu bandwagon like its big brother DW6.

The site leaves much to be desired right now (in fact it isn't much better than it was when it was unopened), but I'm sure Koei will update it regularly. There's just one more thing...

Does anyone here speak Japanese???

[Sun And Steel]

Enough to see what's on the site, which isn't a lot. But first day only, give it is' due.

There is a bundle being sold with the Classic Controller Pro, it simply meantions that both the Classic COntroller bundle and the Treasure Box will be released at the same time, no mention of a stand alone pack interestingly.

[ArcKnight7337]

I have some new news that you guys might wanna hear. First off, there are some rumors going around that the actual number of characters appearing in SW3 is not 35 but 37, which means we may see 2 new characters pop up any day now. On to the second piece of news...

A new teaser trailer for SW3 has been released! Thanks to Koei Warriors for the info. Chances are that the actual SW3 portion of the trailer may be the Game's opening sequence. Anyways, enjoy the show! And you can all thank me later

@ Nixton V: There is a scene where Kaihime takes down one of the zombies, I mean soldiers, Jill Valentine style

[The Little Dragon]

I'm loving the designs so far. Especially Yukimura, Kanetsugu, Tadakatsu & Hanbei.

Yeah and I've read people comment on how they would love to be that soldier Kaihime climbs on. But not with a snapped neck I doubt. If you listen she snaps his neck.

[Date Masamune]

Everybody has awesome designs. Tadakatsu looks kooler and Yukimura my favorite has been updated.

Does anyone here think there will moveset updates along with some musou attacks?

News has confirmed that Koei is adding a new kind of move with a crazy japanese name (similar to a special attack) that is unique to each character, so YES, there will be moveset updates.

Some musou attacks? I'm pretty sure everyone will have one of those too

I belong to the Koeiki(Wikia group), and they have a good article on this mention on SW3, don't know where they got the information from, but it describe it well. There's a new gauge that gradually buffs up and changes your charge attacks as it goes up, and you can also combine that and your musou gauge for a really powerful attack, here's the article:

Now this is actually interesting, What I would like to know is this just for Japan? Or will we be able to get are hands on such nice merchandise here in North America and Europe?

And I wonder if Koei will try to implement some sort of Online Interaction for Samurai Warriors Three?

By the way Moggle Buddy...!!! Nice find on the information indeed.

Normally Koei doesn't release the special edition bundles here in the west, and if the same stays true for SW3, we'll have to buy the game and the controller seperately (unless you already have one), and there's almost no chance of us aquiring any of the other goodies (booklets, shwag, ect.) that the box set would come with in Japan

[Sun And Steel]

Yup, and if you try and import one of the Treasure Boxes expect to pay through the nose on customs or whatever, the boxes are HUGE.

Two new battles going by the scans over at KW; Kizugawaguchi ( naval battle between Oda and Mouri ) and Ishigakibaru ( Ishigaki from Sekigahara seems to have become it's own battle, between the Kuroda and the Otomo ).

Also seeing examples of the Kaiden that Moogle Buddy's link mentioned, if you look at some of the screens you can some attacks that look beyond Musou attacks.

I remember Kizukawaguchi from Kessen 3. I had thought that "Osaka Bay" from SW2 was a fusion of that battle and Ise Nagashima.

[jinkojirodragonmiyamoto]

I see where you both are coming from and that's somewhat understandable and what not.

So how about your guys' thoughts on if Koei will implement some type of Online Interaction?

That's what I'm trying to figure out as well?

And yes ArcKnight7337, Your right in a way. At least that's what it looks like to me as well.
