Samurai Warriors 4 DX Announced For Nintendo Switch, Special Anniversary Edition Detailed

@Spectra I think your mistaking KT for Capcom.

@link3710 Sure you don't mean Square?

...man I have played the hell out of SW4 on ps4...but I want it somehow!

@Arehexes I'm pretty sure they're talking about Konami.

@Spectra I mean to be fair, this is going to be the last generation where Physical will have any foothold, expect next gen to be mostly digital if not all digital.

SM3 was excellent on Wii, and I always was disappointed that its Xtreme Legends expansion wasn't released internationally. Hopefully this new iteration covers all the content from that predecessor.

@Wanjia The One Piece physical most likely wasn’t even their decision, as it was Bandai Namco that published the game.

I kiiiiinda want this. But I am still on HW and FEW.

Once again KT doesnt care about the West, back in the day with the PAL/NSTC at least they could make an excuse. But now it's not region specific no developer should be allowed to release games in one region alone.

How many variations of this game does the world need? ^^

@NewAdvent Oh I agree for the most part, I think some countries will go digital way faster, especially in NA.

Aaaand so the announcement was another Samurai Warriors

I'd be interested in this if it beats the odds and ever comes West, but we're talking about a Warriors re-release here so I don't know.

@BubbleMatrix82 @Arehexes @link3710 @Spectra pretty sure you guys are talking about SaitoGemu

I'll be really happy if this comes to the west. If not, there's always the original version on PS4 for anyone interested.

@MeloMan

This isn’t the game reveal happening on the 6th. At least I don’t believe it is.

@BenGrimm I want you to be right, but I can't help thinking we're just going to get another musou regardless. Yawn.

@Jokerwolf "I mean to be fair, this is going to be the last generation where Physical will have any foothold, expect next gen to be mostly digital if not all digital."

PC is already there. I can't remember the last time I bought a game on a physical CD. But for whatever reason, I still prefer physical media for console games.

Can't wait for this, it's being ages since I last play the previous Samurai Warriors 3 game on Wii.

I've been playing a ton of Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors, so at some point I probably will branch out into one of the Dynasty or Samurai Warrior games. This looks like a potentially good place to start.

@Mountain_Man I think the biggest issue is when games go all digital they will have to find a way to let us lend out games from our digital library (steam kind of lets you do it but it is still poorly implemented) or it instantly becomes inferior to physical media. The main reason I get most of my Switch games physically is so my wife can use them too.

@alpha5099 You definitely have to. I personally enjoy Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate more than Hyrule Warriors. Although, it's still great too.

Man can these get anymore expensive to import buyers??? I'll preorder but have to wait for xmas bonus to do such orders.

I enjoy HW and FEW, but I'm not sure if I'd survive a full "Warriors" game if I don't care about the source material...but I might try it if I have the time

@Jokerwolf Biggest problem with digital is you will eliminate a bunch of your consumer if you move all digital. Internet service still sucks for a good chunk of america, unless you are in a big city or lucky enough to be in a smaller city where they've run their own fiber network (like mine small city lucky enough to have a company run fiber for the town). Due to this I think we will continue to see physical until fast speed internet is available to a majority of big countries. Right now it's a matter of the infrastructure needing expanded before it's more of a reality. Personally I like physical over digital in particular because I like having that hard copy of the game if something happens you lose internet you can still play some games (though broken games needing day one patches are way more common now). Also physical still allows for a trade in market, used games will no longer be a thing if it goes all digital. I for one hope physical is around for the long term, but know that unfortunately it's just a matter of time.

@Jokerwolf "I think the biggest issue is when games go all digital they will have to find a way to let us lend out games from our digital library..."

To be frank, they don't have to do that at all. You're not actually buying the game itself, you're buying a non-transferable license to install and play it. Yes, it sucks; yes, it's anti-consumer; but that's just the way it is (this is true for physical games as well; it's just that it's a lot harder to enforce, so publishers don't even try).

One of the attractions of digital for game publishers is that they can completely control distribution and eliminate the used market, and publisher's HATE the used market with a passion. They consider it worse than piracy. Yes, WORSE, because with piracy, you can always make the argument that the consumer wouldn't have bought it anyway; however, with a used sale, the customer is willing to spend money, but the publisher doesn't get a single cent from it. As far as most publishers are concerned, lending a game isn't much better.

If a publisher decides to allow some sort of digital lending, like Steam's "friends and family" feature, it's a simple courtesy to the customer and not an obligation.

...Hyrule Warriors 2 is never happening is it?

Honestly, for awhile now, the Dynasty and Samurai warriors games just seemed too samey for me. I was into the empire version of a few of them awhile back. But unless this one is especially good, or unique, I'm not sure if I should be excited.

Please release this game in the west.

I just imported this. I cant wait to play it. i have several Imports and both support Full English language
