Koei Tecmo Europe has confirmed that it will be bringing Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 3 to the Nintendo 3DS this June. The game will form part of the company's MCM Comic Con London line-up, which takes place this weekend.
The newest entry in the long-running Samurai Warriors series, this latest instalment has a special Nintendo twist thanks to Link and Zelda outfits lifted directly from Hyrule Warriors. The Wii U crossover was developed by Omega Force, the same team behind this 3DS release.
Samurai Warriors: Chronicles 3 hit Japan in December last year under the name Sengoku Musou Chronicle 3. June 24th is the European launch date - the North America release is yet to be confirmed.

LMAO!!! I JUST bought this for the vita...
Sigh. should have bought DQVII 3DS instead. I'll likely buy it twice for the costumes. ooooo is that SW 4-II? Good I won't have to import. Unless it doesn't come to NA.
Edited for clarity.
My interest has been piqued. Hyrule Warriors relit my passion for the Musou genre. I hope we may see another Nintendo crossover at E3.
@Ryu_Niiyama
Is Dragon Warrior VII on PSN?!!
Sweet, had fun with the first one. I guess the second one was skipped altogether for coming here by now.
@VR32F1END No clue. I still have my ps1 copy of that game. I was saying I should have bought the 3ds copy for DQ VII. I'll edit my post for clarity.
Uhm...what about 2 then ?
But yeah, this is a day one purchase without any questions should it find its way over here.
@Einherjar was there a second one on the 3ds in Japan? Never played the first 3ds one. Worth a shot?
Will this be D/L only or on cart too?
@Ryu_Niiyama I just bought it for Vita too. Well guess I'll skip this one.
Maybe later I'll buy one when I have spare money and see the difference between the versions.
I never got everyyhing near to done in HW yet if it comes to NA it can wait awhile.
HW sparked my interest in this series, and this one looks really good. I especially like how you can switch characters mid battle. If I have money to spend I'll get this.
What about a game called Amiibo Warriors? That would be really good.
Oh please bring this to NA Tecmo Koei, I really enjoy the first one and was waiting forever with this one. Kinda sad we miss the second one but I would love to get this one here too.
@readyletsgo Yup, there was a Chronicles 2 in japan. But if i got that right, it was basically an enhanced version of the original. Technically like the upcommin Samura Warriors 4-II.
bring this to NA
Still have other hack and slashes to play but I enjoyed the JP demo on my New 3DS. Once I feel like buying it I'll be getting the Vita version.
Yessss, missed the first game and I always wanted to get into Warriors game. The first game is almost impossible to find at retail now and as far as I'm aware, there's never a digital release on the e-shop either. So this is a perfect for me, hope we get NA release date soon.
Oh really... Even though the first one received so-so reviews (poor draw distance, low enemy count), I really enjoyed it.
I wonder if the name will change for the NA release, seeing that the 2nd game never made it here.
@Burn It'll be New Samurai Warriors: Chronicles.
/s
@Vineleaf
Very nice! Now I don't feel like I'm missing out, haha.
Might stick with Hyrule for now, might try out another one of these at some point though. But I haven't even gotten to HW's DLC yet. xD
On 3DS? Nice, I might pick this up then.
I enjoyed the first SM on PS2 and really liked it. I'll likely get this.
Will this game take advantage of the N3DS ??
Come on North America! Love these games!
Same team as Hyrule Warriors?
Sold.
@JaxonH lol
Sadly the 2nd one never came here, I bought the first and had a blast with it.
I also really enjoyed the original, got it with my day 1 3DS and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was my favorite game available for the system for many months (some of this is due to lack of a very good lineup for the first year, but I did really like the game). Got into it more than I usually do with Musou games too.
Speaking of Hyrule Warriors, I still need to get that game. I tried out my friend's copy and found it really fun.
Hmm, well I have been enjoying things from Temco Koei quite a bit, and I have been seeing about trying more and more of their games. I may give this game a look-see.
That said, I wonder whether I should see about getting the first game before getting this latest instalment (to my knowledge, the second entry never came out overseas), if I decide to do so. Perhaps if I see the predecessor in the store for cheap I'll see to it.
I never could get over the repetitive, dragged-out gameplay of the Warriors series. I actually do enjoy Hyrule Warriors, but I'd rather just play a Zelda game than "Link's Kill-Combo and Super Finishing Attack Training". I bought the first Samurai Warriors that came out on the 3DS near launch (was it a launch title?) and gave it about two days worth of playing before it bored me out of my mind. I don't think Link and Zelda outfits will change my viewpoint of this particular series.
Looks like the costumes won't be leaving japan after all.
