Warriors Orochi 3

http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2012/01/warriors-orochi-3-announced/

Well wasn't expecting this....but a pleasant surprise

Oh too lazy to read the article...eight headed serpent threatens new world heroes time travel to rescue fallen heroes Ryu Hayabusa, Jeanne d'Arc, Ayane, Achilles ,and Nemea help. Will have scenario editor.

New mechanics: Dash Chain – smooth transition between movement and combat.

Counterattack – knocking back enemies and rendering them momentarily

Support Attack – by pressing the character switch button while being attacked, another team member shows up to provide back up support. If the characters have a strong bond, the support member will sometimes appear automatically.

Switch Combo – switch characters immediately after landing an attack creating an endless consecutive chain of attacks.

EDIT: yes I know I misspelled the title, I'm typing on an iPad ATM

EDIT 2: Thanks to whoever fixed that

I don't have anything to say except FUCK YEAH

Oh, my faith in this genre has been rewarded. I've been waiting for this game for years.

Cries of Ruined FOREVER has been heard when it's announced that the voice will be Japanese only.

That don't bug me, actually. It's the PS 3 exclusion that ruins it forever for me.

I was really hoping for a Vita port or even 360. :(

But this one's going to US... proof.

Dude.

Ryu Hayabusa

YES.

I'll believe it when I'm playing it.

Wow, after all this time, nothing from any of you? XD

Alright, since Tecmo-Koei is making another titled Musou Orochi 2 Ultimate (I bet it'll be Warriors Orochi 4 if they internationalize it), with all the new characters from the PSP and Wii U versions of 3, and also new characters since it's a sequel to one of the endings of WO 3 (The True ending is "not canon" now, even though it's the most logical conclusion to fix everything)

Any thoughts on that?

Honestly, I kinda wish they added the casts from Hokuto Musou/Ken's Rage games. According to the prequel of Fist of the North Stars, titled Fist of the Blue Sky, the Hokuto Art have three versions, each made to protect Shu, Wu, and Wei's leader Liu Bei, Sun Jian (or Quan, I forgot), and Cao Cao. Since Kenshiro basically know all the history of Hokuto, he'll get some interesting interactions with them all.

As unlikely as it is, imagine the possibilities; Kaioh teaming up with Orochi, Raoh dueling Lu Bu, Mamiya and Rin interacting with the Warriors gals, etc.

In fact, Imma plan to make a fanfic of it, any suggestions to make it work?
