Koei announced Sengoku Musou Wave when Nintendo spilled the details about the Wii remote. At the time Sengoku Musou Wave looked interesting because it blended the Dynasty Warriors concept with motion controlled sword fighting. I imagined it might have been something like Blade of Honor, but with more things to slash at on screen.   [...]

Koei’s Samurai Warriors meets Dynasty Warriors crossover got a North American release with a new awkward title, Warriors Orochi. There are 77 playable characters from the two franchises crammed into to Warriors Orochi that you rotate through with the new three player tag team system.

Namco Bandai released a batch of screenshots from the Xbox 360 version of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam. In Japan Gundam Musou was only released for the Playstation 3 so these screenshots are a sort-of-first since they are from the unseen Xbox 360 release.   I played a little bit of the Playstation 3 release a few [...]

You have to give Koei some credit for trying new things with the handheld Shin Sangoku Musou (Dynasty Warriors) titles.

One thing I’m digging the most about Musou Orochi thus far is the ability to change between the three commands you choose on the fly, adding a bit of taste to particular [...]

Koei announced that Shin Sangoku Musou DS (Dynasty Warriors DS) is going have a one week delay. Instead of being released on March 29, 2007 hack and slash fans who love the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can pick up Shin Sangoku Musou DS on April 5, 2007. Shin Sangoku Musou DS is an extension [...]

  Musou Orochi, Koei’s crossover hack and slash game, is probably going to be the last Musou game on the Playstation 2. To send the series off to the next console Koei is celebrating the final PS2 game with three ways to purchase Musou Orochi. You can get the game alone for 7,141 yen ($59). [...]

It might have seemed like Koei was going to discontinue making Shin Sangoku Musou (Dynasty Warriors) games since Gundam Musou is in the works, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. In March, the same month that Gundam Musou comes out for the PS3, Koei is going to release Musou Orochi a mash up [...]
