Why should we care about
yet another Dynasty/Samurai Warriors game from Koei? Because Shigeru Miyamoto does, that's why. Nintendo's Senior Managing Director surprised press by appearing at Koei Tecmo's press conference for the Wii-exclusive
Samurai Warriors 3, and announcing a new gameplay mode based on
Nazo no Murasamejou, a samurai-themed
Zelda-like game released only on Famicom Disk System.
Samurai Warriors 3 will support the Classic Controller, and will be sold in a Classic Controller Pro bundle like
Monster Hunter 3. It is due in November, with a playable demo presented at Tokyo Game Show. These things still sell in Japan, so we expect this to move some Wii hardware, as long as it isn't in
first person or anything like that.
