Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah... Unless the Samurai Warriors series has had some vast improvement over the first two that I don't know about, Sengoku Basara is far superior. Sengoku Basara 2 made me drop the Musou series for good.
Sengoku Basara is good but it's just a hack and slash and going from point A to B not caring for much else, Samurai Warriors has some strategy behind it. Plus it feels more like an animu.

Go pick up Samurai Warriors 3 for the Wii or something, best one so far.

I'm not sure if anyone has posted it yet, but here's the official site.
The game itself looks pretty interesting. At least it's something different from the normal Pokemon games and it doesn't look like crap. I hope it gets released in English, otherwise I can always play the Japanese version and hope for a translation patch.

what with this being a DS title, a translation patch might not be too far off, depending on whether or not skilled people are interested.

I want to know more about the format of the game. If it's just straightforward SRPG (or whatever type of game this is supposed to be), then bleh... but if they actually add simulation elements from the Nobunaga strategy games in, it would be very interesting.

The video says it takes place in the Ranse (lansay?) area, and that "now is the time to take the 17 castles". I hope that means we'll get 17 officers altogether, not just the 5 on the website. We've already seen Hideyoshi with a Chimchar, but for some reason they don't list him on the website.

Eww. I hope the game fails and the pokemon creators realize what a mistake they made. So I have to wait another year for a new REAL Pokemon game.....Great
there's nothing to suggest that Pokemon grey or another core game is held back because of this existing. Don't forget gamefreak isn't developing this so they working on their own projects which is the usually the main Pokemon series.

I can't believe some of you people want it to fail because it is different. I mean come on now. :sleep:

Well this is the result of everyone becoming so info-hungry. In the 90s (and even early 2000s), if there was some big game announcement that was only intended for Japan, nobody outside of Japan would know about it. Everyone would go about their days in blissful ignorance....

....until one day someone finds a screenshot of the "legendary Pokemon game that never came to America", and all Pokemon fans start on some "WELL THAT'S THE BEST GAME BECAUSE WE NEVER GOT IT!!!" BS.

And then one guy will be like, "Yo, I totally played Nobunaga Pokemon, and it's the best ever!"

And then the fans all start demanding a localization, and someone starts a fan translation, and everyone plays it and says it's the best thing ever.

Then after 5 or 6 years, after the translated game is well-known, everyone will pretend to hate it: "Yo that game was terrible, way over-hyped. I know why they never brought it to America in the first place."

Chances are if someone is looking at this and saying, "Wow, looks terrible, where's my real Pokemans!?", it's because this announcement wasn't for them, and they have no business knowing about it. They can come back and complain when ""Liberty or Death plus Pokemon" is announced.

the true thing that makes me unsure about liking it is, that similar to advance wars and mystery dungeon, you will be that inexperienced guy with a tiny cuddly pokemon and you will be facing off against all those legendary giants and still pummel them all ><

wonder if you can get rid of eevee or evolve it before you finish the main game

I assume it'll allow you to use a variety of Pokemon or this game would flop completely. I'd shoot myself if I would've been forced to use an Eevee in any Pokemon game.
