The Dynasty/Samurai/Gundam/Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) Warriors thread

Europe is mad crazy for Tecmo Koei. Especially for musou games.

and yea they still have conventions for them. With pretty damn good cosplayers. (at least the outfits are well done.)

Momiji from Ninja Gaiden and Shennong (Original Character) will join the WO3:Hyper roster…

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII, upon its initial Japanese release, was thought to be PC-only. However, in August, Tecmo Koei announced that the latest installment in this popular strategy game series would hit the PS3 by year’s end, and at the recent Wii U conference in Japan, a Wii U version was also hinted at.

Now, Tecmo Koei has officially confirmed PS3 and Wii U versions of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII, with both regular and limited editions coming to Japanese shores on December 13. This is five days after the Wii U launches in the country, and Tecmo Koei is already showing overwhelming support for the console with Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge (co-published with Nintendo), Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper and the sequel to Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII brings back the strategy gameplay and Chinese history that shaped the long-running series, but adds online play – a main series first – and redesigned looks for every character in the game (several hundred in total). Console-exclusive features include the “Team Strengthening and Tactics” and “Warlord Appointment” systems, as well as the addition of new scenarios. Wii U owners can also play the game on the GamePad without a TV.

The special edition includes a fan featuring the main warlords, an artbook, the game’s soundtrack and a bandanna. Those interested should pony up the cash, however, as Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII is being priced at a premium ¥9,240 in its regular edition and ¥11,340 in its special edition.

A Western release date has not yet been announced, but given the popularity of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms console installments in the United States, Tecmo Koei could very well bring the series’ latest installment over.

I hope it comes stateside…

I wonder what Shennong’s weapon is. Does he just pray over thine enemies??

Koei teasing again…any guesses?

Cryoh · September 20, 2012, 9:58am

A new DW Strikeforce? o.O

Shin_Oni · September 21, 2012, 7:22am

I would love for it to randomly be Bleach but it looks like something I won’t play.

Xu Shu Gameplay on DW7:Empires…

Don_Barracuda · September 21, 2012, 3:56pm

Have they made any improvements over the previous title???

Geese_Pants · September 21, 2012, 4:01pm

I heard that the gameplay in Shin Hokuto Musou doesn’t seem sluggish as in the first game…and more enemies on screen.

Joshkaz · September 21, 2012, 7:02pm

FOTS2 looks amazing.

Ichipoo · September 21, 2012, 8:39pm

You heard correct about the non sluggish gameplay. I remember reading that they wanted to game’s speed to be more or less like their other Musou games. Dunno about the enemies part but that sounds great as well.

Also, has anybody here plat DW7XL yet?

Vynce · September 21, 2012, 8:50pm

About to face Orochi X in WO3 and get the true ending. Been a good ride :tup:.

…But then, I haven’t played as over 100 characters. Maybe I’ll keep hackin’.

And the redesigned Flail just screams Gan Ning.

ckrazy · September 24, 2012, 4:15am

^ in a game full of bull shit that nigga look extra bull shit. LOL god damn.

Ichipoo · September 24, 2012, 6:43am

Has it been confirmed if anything from Vanilla and XL will carry over to Empires? Game data and DLC wise?

Geese_Pants · September 24, 2012, 6:46am

Yes…DLC Music and Costumes.
All the DLC weapons will be included/and remixed to their appropriate characters:
[LIST]
[]Gan Ning - Chain Flail (& changed 2nd Musou)
[]Xiahou Ba - Siege Lance (& changed EX attack, 1st & 2nd Musou)
[]Yueying - War Pike (& changed EX attack)
[]Dong Zhuo - Bombs (& changed EX attack)
[]Pang De - Cudgel (& changed EX attack)
[]Xu Huang - Great Axe (& changed EX attack)
[]DaQiao - Twin Canes (& changed EX attack)
[]Cao Ren - Buckler Blade (& changed EX & 2nd Musou)
[]Sima Shi - Lightning Sword (& changed EX attack)
[]Huang Gai - Iron Boat (& changed EX attack)
[]Zhurong - Boomerang (& changed EX & 2nd Musou)
[]Ding Feng - Moon Blade (& changed EX & 2nd Musou)
[/LIST]
However, the EX/Musou attacks that the were replaced in the list are still in the game for CAWs to use. Example…you can have a CAW use Xiahou Ba’s old EX and Musou attacks.

No data sharing between DW7/XL and Empires.

Azure · September 24, 2012, 6:58am

I didn’t do DLC on that one.

I DID plat it, though.

Two better come out here.

Sent from my thumbs, using SRK technology.

Geese_Pants · September 24, 2012, 7:04am

It will…but PS3 version will be digital download due to it not having English Dubbing.
