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

Get Warriors Orochi 3 instead. Just my opinion.

DW7: Empires is out in Japan…

DW5E intro still one of the best Empires intro IMO.

The intro scenes showing Gan Ning and Ba with their old weapons Pre-empires shows just how rushed this game prolly was. Adds a touch of sloppiness on Koei’s side.

New character vids for Ken’s Rage 2…

Super stoked to try out Shu and Juda. A bit disappointed at how they don’t yell out their signature attacks anymore though but I’ll live.

Famitsu scans shows the return of Sun Jian and Lu Xun…both have new weapons.
Lu Meng returns also.

Debut of Lu Su(Wu)…Wu liaison for Wu/Shu relations.

More HNK 2 promo videos…now I wait.

Lu Xun also has a unique dual sword moveset that utilizes phase shift move attacks

Lu Meng, pretty much more of the same for him

Overall Koei is really uping the bar with this shit. Apparently Sun Jian can do sound Attacks with his 9 RIngs sword and that phase shift move attack for Lu Xun is pretty damn innovative for Koei. Shit keeps looking better and better.

I wonder that 9-ring sword will make jingle noises whenever a player moves…similar to Gan Ning wearing bells.

So far the leaker has been correct on the new characters…I thinking Shu will be the next reveal.

Word there may even be a PV in December…hope they put these new attacks in action.


They also put up the first song on their JP website…it’s the theme for the Battle of Chi Bi.
Sounds really good IMO…even though most think the song doesn’t seem to fit that event.

Still hoping this game gets English dubbed.

DW7 Empires Dated At February 19th For North America

A bit later than I was hoping for, but eh. I can finally delete the Japanese demo soon.

That date is fine with me…but damn if I’m not hyped for DW8 more.

Same here. So much that I’m not even bothering with Empires at this point.

Of course, on the other hand, anything relating to either Sengoku Musou 4 or BASARA 4 (if not both) will make me drop everything. I’d like to think that with the amount of time that’s passed since each of their 3rd games, the next definitive releases will be truly something special.

Perhaps more so the case with SW4. Tenth anniversary in 2014? Let’s do this, Koinuma.

Why Not?

I am hype for DW8 more than Empires 7…

Gan Ning

Huang Gai returns…with his Iron Boat[/details]

True, my passion to finish WO3 died once I saw the official Declones and new characters in DW7:E. And now my motivation to purchase DW7:E has shrunk immensely since Koei has shown the new designs for DW8 and the fact that they are Decloning everyone and adding new characters. DW7:E is already outdated and it hasn’t even dropped yet in NA.

Went back at played Ken’s Rage and noticed I had two achievements left before I Platinum the game. Trying to see if I can play Raoh and use the Hokuto Shinken ability on his meridian chart.

Now the PSN release date for Empires 7 is February 26th…while Fist of the Northstar: Ken’s Rage 2 will be February 5th.
PS3=Digital
Xbox 360=Disc

massive boner right now. Oh em gee.!

Apparently Shin Hokuto Musou is out on Japan’s PSN.
