Looks musou-esque to me

I think that’s a Renbu gauge on the side, hopefully there’s more special attacks in the game though (Warriors Orochi R1 style specials please). I’m hyped.

I imagine the release of reskins will look something like this
Evangelion>Gurren Lagann>Code Geass>Transformers>Gundam>Gundam>Hello Kitty

Rinse, wash, and then repeat.

I was skeptical at first, but having Team Ninja involved definately changes the equation!

Raoh needs white hair, its far cooler and intimidating than blonde.

One more day left till the announcement right?

Raoh should have his hair black…Kenshiro needs a beard…This better come to the USA.

Man this game better come over here.

Black hair, no beard.

Will we see a US release for this?

Should this thread be moved to fighting game discussion forum?

Why…is it a fighting game?

nope.

so why is smash in fgd? OOOOOoooooooooooooooh

Because we don’t want to hurt feelings…

but this is SRK…

Mr.Wiz says, “no” but our neg reps says, “yes, fuck smash”.

Just don’t tell nobody.

Back on subject, Kung Fu Jesus better be tops in this game.

It’s a musou game…so I know I’m bound to get this game.

because I’m too lazy to google it, whats a “musou” game :wonder:

I’m tempted to reactive my old tecmo account and start petitioning on the forums that we see a western release for this game!

Musou = Dynasty Warriors

I dunno where people are getting the idea that Team Ninja is working on this. I haven’t seen anything that would give me the impression that they are. Yes, Tecmo owns Koei now, and yes, Tecmo owns Team Ninja, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Team Ninja will automatically work on this. Unless someone can point me to a source that actually says TN will be working on this, I call bullshit.

Essentially, a “tactical action game” which features a playable character fighting against a LARGE multitude of forces, as in armies, by using your attacks, special moves and musou/super move. It’s like a much more crazier beat-em-up, basically. Started off with the Sangoku Musou/Dynasty Warriors series, based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Later on it moved to the samurai era in Sengoku Musou/Samurai Warriors and even Gundam.

Capcom took the formula and made it even crazier with it’s own Sengoku Basara series, which has it’s own fair share of popularity as well.

Ontopic: Very much looking forward for HnK Musou. Can’t wait to see a trailer (and with internal exploding action!)

The fact that its coming out on 360 also gives me a reason to believe we’ll get a western release

I’m not sure what other departments Tecmo owns that develop combat orientated games, so Team Ninja seems to be the most logical step, and there has been talk for many years of them moving onto another fighter besides DOA and NG.

Although it does sound rather complicated, it does sound like their will be alot of depth to it. I don’t want to play a button masher but I don’t want to play some so over complicated it ruins my experience of being the greatest and most dangerous martial artist the world has seen because I can’t do X or Z move.
