    So in addition to Samurai Warriors 3 on the Wii, Koei is also working on a brand new Musou game for the 360 and PS3 based on Fist of the North Star.  This is a combination that fills me with glee.
     
    Early game footage seems to indicate that it contains what we should expect.  Kenshiro running around, beating the shit out of lots of dudes in ways that make them explode mere seconds after receiving said beatings:

    Isn't Musou the power gauge thing in Dynasty Warriors?

    That is what the gague is called, but "Musou" is the wider franchise that compasses what we call the Warriors games in the west.  (i.e.:  Dynasty Warrriors, Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi, and Dynasty Warriors:  Gundam are referred to as Shin Sangoku Musou, Sengoku Musou, Orochi Musou, and Gundam Musou.)

    @Napalm: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it, too.  I love me some Dynasty Warriors, I love me some Fist of the North Star.  This is a pretty good sounding match.

    @Hailinel: I really don't care much about Dynasty Warriors, but I grew up with beat'em ups, and I love Fist Of The North Star, so this seems like a perfect fit. My only issue, is the game combat looks a little slow and stiff. I don't know if it's a visual thing, or if it feels that way as well.
