Big in Japan March 7-13: Dynasty Warriors 7

@megakick Nahhh COD just repeats just about everything else.

Haters gonna hate I suppose and its for a reason too. Dynasty Warriors 7 is using the same core engine since DW2, but with new additions or revisions to it over the years. Wouldn't it be fresh to just have a new gameplay system and style that breaks tradition of a game greatly repetitive of a system popularized in DW3 and that was like 9 years ago. Would it just feel right that the game receives a new look rather than something overly familiar and have it criticized by all who have grown tired of it? But I suppose what sells motivate these guys to move ahead.

i don't buy the cod: sequel X besides cod doesn't use the same story over and over.

I cant wait for Dynasty Warriors 7 had it preordered for long while and its going to be the first game my friend gets for his PS3 :D

@megakick 7 times? You do realize the first Dynasty Warriors game was a fighting game right? Whatever haters gonna hate. I'll continue to buy them as long as they're good. :]

So everyone just comes on here to bash Dynasty Warriors it seems.. Rather sad. I myself cannot wait for the game. I've loved them all. Just gutted it's been put back ANOTHER week. King of the Hack n' Slash games :D

I like how everyone is saying they have made 7 of the same game yet you people never moan about endless FPS games and sports games getting the best reviews on the planet, True, every few games they do a big redesign new engine etc, but they are still the same game, with a few quality exceptions Eagerly awaiting DW7s 5/10 here on gamespot

Not bad due to the fact that they just suffered a nuclear meltdown, tsumani, and the largest earthquake in modern history.

@LinusBlue The overall sales numbers of the systems AND the games are low, probably due to the Earthquake-Tsunami incident. People are still looking for loved ones , rebuilding their lives, etc to worry about anything game related which is understandable.

Ah yes, Dynasty Warriors; the Call of Duty of japan.

funny koei remake same game 7 times and make millions.

More generic crap.

Thumb up if you want a new ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS!!!

@LinusBlue: Normally you would expect that, but you have to take into account how Japan is facing some difficulty right now, so their main concern isn't going to be the latest system.

I am disappointed with the 3DS sales. Don't systems usually sell millions in the first few weeks?

if they got dynasty warriors we got black ops the heck with this age of gaming.. sucks now these days

I'm admittedly surprised to see anything being released in Japan or by Japan given the situation they're in at the moment. I kind of figured it would either be impossible to work (given a lot of the major developers in Japan are located in Tokyo and most of Tokyo is radiated or without power at the moment. My sympathy goes out to the victims in Japan and I hope they recover quickly, but I'm also curious to see the repercussions of this event on the industry. What games will we see delayed? How will this affect PS3, Wii, and 3DS sales? If a Japanese developer is out of commission for a while, does that mean a western release title is going to do better in the meantime. All kinds of implications are possible.

Where is Disgaea 4?! :/

I cant figure out why I like dynasty warriors, I have played almost all of them Its the same game just re-skinned. Common sense tells me not to buy this, but I know I will have fun playing it so ill probably be getting this title, after all fun is why we play video games.

Dynasty Warriors ok have fun not my money

They have made 7 of the same game. Kudos for the DW team for still selling the same formula

3DS demos are apparently up at most BestBuys through the USA I tried it out it is awsom can't wait!

More of the same.

There are three things we can all expect from the world: 1.) Death 2.) Taxes 3.) Dynasty Warriors sequels.

monster hunter> dynasty warrior > phantasy star. asians like to grind.

dynasty warriors games are fun but sometime those games get quite boring . i haven't purchase any of the newer games of dynasty since the playstation 2 console.

Should WE all report "paranormalnut" for such a distasteful comment?

Huang Gai is Sexxxy!!!

Wow... Wish we could get a Fairy Tail & Rurouni Kenshin game, but thats just the anime freak within me speaking.

Anyone who thinks that Dynasty Warriors 7 being at the top of the chart in Japan is stupid can't talk when our side of the world puts black ops to the top. I'll have to wait til april to confirm but i'm pretty sure which one is the better game.

DYNASTY WARRIORS 7!!!! can't wait. i really enjoy the series....such a simple hack and slash, but i still play them til this day....something special about this particular hack and slash....would figure i would get bored with the series...smh..

And then a bunch of Dynasty Warriors 7 spin offs will be sold later. Followed by Dynasty Warriors 8. And then more spin offs. The cycle continues.

@darthfett13 Not to mention if you don't like shooters you won't like 360, and Japanese don't give a crap about shooters. It would be like a system in America with nothing but jrpgs. It wouldn't sell

Its amazing how the last gen DS's are still selling. Obviously some people arent going to get the 3DS till it has more games, which it will very soon, while others are never going to get it because they foolishly believe that the 3DS is just another DS. So people buy the DS lite or i or ll, Im just amazed that the numbers for the I and LL are still above 3 thousand.

Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony all make money from gaming, That's all i think is relevant except you want to start a fanboy argument.

3333333dddddddd

yes, sir! sony and nintendo are the kings alright! in gaming industries

Dynasty Warriors is to Japan what Call of Duty is to America. Apparently

I cannot believe Dynasty Warriors is still going. How do KOEI do it?

Great sales! =D I can't wait to buy DW7 on the 29th!

the original xbox never took off, now the 360 isn't taking off, its just because sony and nintendo have had a strong hold on the japanese market for years, the reason xbox is doing so well in NA is that microsoft already had the infrastructure in place to offer a gaming console. in japan they did not.

@ GunBladeHero Well in my dreams I definetely do . ;D

I ddint think we will be having the news any times soon given the events in Japan

Nintendo and Sony are the wrestlers now, 5 X 4!

Oh if I only owned a X360 or PS3... :(

@John_Read Yeah 360 is pretty much a flop in Asia anyways. I'm living in Thailand right now and I brought my 360 over, and the only people at the electronic stores who know what a 360 is are the ones that put chips in em... ps3 you can actually find legitimate games for it. It's not the company being racist at all, its them not wanting to get a 25% return on what they invest to port it..
