That's all for now.

I never expected to buy a WII for a new SW game. Anyone else that's a fan of the series?

[Xero Kaiser]

A crappy spinoff of a crappy franchise made by a developer who can't pull themselves away from last gen gameplay and graphics.

I hate this game already.

[Young Avenger]

You played one game in the series you'll played them all.

So not a fan? :biggrin:

Nobody probably cares but there's finally a SW3 update!

Some new characters announced.

From left to right:
Kuroda Kanbei, a Toyotomi retainer who is also known for being a devout Christian. His weapon is a ghostly sphere.
Kaihime, daughter of Narita Ujitaka, a Hojo retainer, and concubine of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Her weapon is a sword whip.
Katou Kiyomasa, a Toyotomi retainer who joined the Eastern army during the battle of Sekigahara. His weapon is a scythe.

Updated look for three of the old characters.

Other known informations

* There are 3 main storylines here
1. Sengoku 3 Heroes - Nobunaga, Hideyoshi & Ieyasu
2. Kantou 3 Kingdoms - Takeda, Uesugi (& Hojo?)
3. Sekigahara Young Warriors - Kanetsugu, Yukimura, Mitsunari
* There is not much difference on gameplay feeling compared to previous games.
* Control will be more optimized on classic controller rather than remote controller. Here's the known list of buttons used.
D-pad: Use items
Left joystick: Move
L: Camera position fixing (Maybe this could be the guard button as usual)
Y: Normal attack
X: Charge attack
B: Jump
A: Musou attack
* The game will perhaps introduce timely presses producing advantage rather than the usual mashing. In case of Kanbei, If you just mash the button, he will only attack with 2 orbs. But if you use timing on the pressing, he can attack with up to 4 orbs.
* You can use cannons and such on siege battles
* Musou gauge have 3 bars like before
* All characters can now call horses
* A stronger musou attack, Musou Ougi - Kaidan, is added. There is a line of spheres next to musou gauge and when they're fully charged you can release it.
* There will be a new mode 謎の村雨城 Nazo no Murasamejou, which is based on an old NES game of the same name

Probably have to get a Wii because of this...or I'll wait a couple of months when they announce it for the PS3. :biggrin:

I still play the first game, but that's about it. Might get this if it comes to PS3
