Dunno if it works, but http://kongming.net/10/english/

Alternatively the PS2 version emulates real well.

Yay RoTK coming out over here, but the big question for me is: Is it a ruler-only game, or like 8 and 10 and you can do anything you want.

Not a bad choice if he had zany party members to be with, but the gameplay description makes it sound like it's just a single unit versus many.

Zhao Yun has always been the poster boy for DW, tho, just like Yukimura is for Samurai Warriors


edit: it took me like two years to stop constantly confusing him with Zhou Yu

Yukimura actually has a personality and an arc, from what I remember, though I may be getting him confused with his Sengoku Basara incarnation.

Mostly because capcom's idiot attempt at copyright fuckery aside, Sengoku Basara generally has better characterization for everyone.

Yeah, I like how extremely over the top Basara is. Also their interpretation of Magoichi and the Saika Mercenaries. Then again I have a soft spot for his ridiculous "lady's man" schtick in the DW series. Also gun user in a mostly melee centric cast.

Isn't Magaoichi a woman in Basara and a guy in Samurai Warriors?

Correct. I believe the actual history is that name was used by various leaders of the Saika mercenaries. It was more a moniker rather than an actual name.

I like it both ways (heh) Handsome womanizing smuglord in SW :shlick: and hot babe wielding modern weaponry in Feudal Japan in Basara :fap:.

I love Masamune Date's moveset in Samurai Warriors but the man wields 6 Katanas in Sengoku Basara. It's obvious what the superior moveset is.

Capcom pretty much killed all hope of that franchise coming to the US again, right?

How is the 3DS port of Hyrule Warriors? Is it worthwhile for people who never played the original?

Pros:
Has all the base content + dlc content from the Wii U version, plus extra characters and story levels of its own
Adds the ability to switch between characters during a level and order characters to go to places (and throws more at you during those levels to make you use these features)
Does a couple things to make giant bosses less of a slog to fight
More reason to use the characters that were later additions to the Wii U version, since there are now levels that have rewards for them

Cons:
Don't buy it if you don't have a New 3DS, seriously it runs like rear end. And even if you do have a New 3DS, don't expect to play with the 3D on if you like having a decent framerate
Not as pretty as the Wii U version, obviously
They ruined Lana's summoning gate weapon, I liked riding around on Argorok goddammit :argh:
