It may have had a relatively quiet run-up to release, but Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 is just a short time away from release on 3DS in the West, a somewhat surprising localisation effort by Koei Tecmo as a result of the second title being Japan-only.

With its arrival not far off Koei Tecmo has launched a full official website with plenty of details on the title, outlining modes such as Challenge stages that'll have weekly online ratings. The Story campaign is being pitched as being relatively dynamic, with the outcome and progress varying depending on actions within battle - such as who you support, ally with etc - and it's also been confirmed that there'll be fairly substantial editing functionality to change the look of the main protagonist, male or female.

Due in stores soon, are you tempted to pick this up?
