Indeed.

The Musou series has needed something really to give its battle system a shot in the arm, like a crackhead that needs another hit! So, if they really are basing some inspiration on DMC, well then, that's definitely a great start.

Also, we may not have to wait too long for this game, either. Another report relayed to by a friend of mine states this game may be out as early as February next year. Would certainly end Koei's fiscal year with a nice *HEAD EXPLODES*

This and Sengoku BASARA 3 shall both be mine next year, as soon as they're ripe for the importing!

Just reaffirming it.

New scans from Dengeki, and courtesy from a great guy over at Koei Warriors.

Nothing too much in the way of new, but it is probably the first truly clear print scans that have emerged!

I may have to give this a whirl.....but first I'll need to splash out £50 for the DVD set so I know who everyone is...

Basically, this game is now slated to debut in Japan some time in March 2010. Immediately skyrocketing to my most hyped game for that month!

Only bad thing? KOEI's really asking for Ken's devoted legion to dig deep into their pockets. Game's also stated to be marketed at the price of 8190 yen. 80-90 bucks in USD, basically. And this isn't even for the "Treasure Box" version that this game is likely to have.

Ah well...this and Zangeki no REGINLEIV in Feb are the only games I'm gunning for at the start of the year. Unless Ryu ga Gotoku 4 also shows up....

Now, the only reason I can't, in good faith, give Ken that much of a run-away?

Well, there's still Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M, laying in wait.

Ken's game easily stands to get the "Most Mantastic Award" on lock, though.

[tornado fang] Kratos!

Oh god.

ATATATATATATATA.

Tatas in high-def. Plus, maybe if we're lucky, we can trample enemies with unlockable Raoh's horse.

I'd play as his horse before Raoh himself. That thing is a warrior.

Alright, time for another dosage of pure, unadulterated testosterone!

More images here

We have a definitive date for when Ken and pals are going to invade PS3s and 360s in Japan, now. March 25th.

Additionally, they confirmed that there will be indeed a "Treasure Box". We dunno what's in it yet, but Koei so nicely told us the asking for it already. 13440 yen.

Stay tuned for more...!

More screens.

Well, this isn't exactly Hokuto related, but I didn't think this deserved it's own topic, so....

http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=0&cId=3169218&p=

It's an interview with Gyuki, the boar-like Orochi officer from Musou Orochi 2. Pretty nifty.

HokutoNoBen · **Reply #71 on:** January 23, 2010, 07:52:08 AM

New Promotion Video posted. Showcases more gameplay footage.

Also, included in all first press versions of the game will be a code that will allow you to play as Ken in his classic manga outfit.

My want for this game grows...

DAT RACK

The theme is awesome, but also

**** yeah, Mother [tornado fang]ing Milliardo Peacecraft as Rei.

Rest of the cast

Katsuyuki Konishi= Ken (Kamina, LIoyd(ToS), Johann Trinity)
Mamiya=Naomi Shindoh (Cagalli)
Tomokazu Sugita = Shin (Bullet/SRW, Kyon/Haruhi)
Fumihiko Tachiki = Raoh (Kenpachi, Kratos/Tales of Symphonia)
Houko Kuwashima = Yuria (Tomoyo/Clannad, Sango/Inuyasha)
Kanae Itou = Lin (nothing really stands out career wise)

Flame · **Reply #74 on:** March 04, 2010, 09:51:21 AM

Dat Rack indeed... Games lookin as good as ever.
Hope this has a western release. Would love to play this.
