Well, once the game releases, I'll have more information. But, thank you.

I have a Wii, but I won't be buying this game for it.
Figure, I'll be patient and wait for the ports to 360/PS3.
I probably won't fully complete this review until then. I'm gonna add the Famitsu scans to this review as well. And, if I have time, the screenshots.

Edit: Official character count confirmed: 37.

Big character update. I'll update the new one with high-quality CG arts once they come out.

Now that I look at it carefully...Yukimura almost...kinda...slightly..looks like DW Zhao Yun doesn't he? Or is it just the hair?

(But then again it might just not be just me. Nobunaga and CaoCao are so similar in appearance)

Yeah, Yukimura's very similar to Zhao Yun, in the fact that they are both the poster boys of the series, and now in looks. Yukimura's new hair is probably my least favorite part about him. His straight flowing hair was much better.

And yeah, Nobunaga is similar to CaoCao, and Tadakatsu is similar to Lu Bu in regards to being the "ultimate warrior". There's several characters that share similarities.

Minor Update: Oichi has a confirmed weapon change. She previously wielded a Kendama, but now uses a Bladed Ring.

Major Update: Lots of returning characters, and surprisingly, Kunoichi from SW1 is returning after being absent from the series for several years.

Another update. First one in a long while, so quite a bit has been added.

She's been gone? Wow I never knew that. I thought she was a really important character since she was like Yukimura's right hand man.

Yeah, she was cut from SW2, and replaced by Nene who had basically the same weapon and attacks. Now both are in the game, so hopefully they mix them up a little bit.

Oh! I just checked out Nene's pic and she looked like a ninja too. Neat!
But I kinda liked how Kunoichi looked before with the hat. (Just checked out Kunoichi's pic as well)
Now the only thing is when will it come out for us here in the US? crying
PostPosted: Thu Nov 26, 2009 8:48 pm


Yeah, she's showing a bit more skin now it seems. I'll probably have the pictures of those last few characters by the end of the week.

A US release'll probably happen by January/February. I'm just gonna wait for the ports to 360/PS3. The english version of those probably won't be around August of next year, maybe not until the end of '10.

I'm guessing maybe late of '10. Translations take forever!
