Eh ... three games on the same day? Wouldn't it make sense to space them out?

Didn't even know there were that many Warriors games. That's confusing. I thought Dynasty Warriors was the main game and that the only other series were spin offs like Hyrule Warriors

heh, no. Dynasty Warriors was the original, but warriors games have practically become their own genre now that there's so many of them (as well as similar games by rival companies).

Samurai Warriors is its own series, based on Japanese history rather than Chinese. Orochi is a crossover between Dynasty and Samurai. Then of course there's the licensed games, some of which such as Gundam and One Piece have spawned multiple sequels of their own. I mean, this is a dev that releases like 5 or 6 new games a year, there's gonna be a lot of them

Well, I knew there was a LOT of crossover games(like I think there's 3 or 4 One Piece games already?) but I thought it was just Dynasty, and then just crossovers. It's weird that they have "side-original" series haha. The fact that they have one for chinese and japanese history, and then a crossover for japanese and chinese history is just so clustered. I wonder if Orochi has way more combat than Dynasty and Samurai because of it?

That's a load of money for 3 year old games (except Spirit of Sanada).
Talking about Spirit of Sanada, the guy on the boxart has a very female look. Just remove the beard and....

Well the One Piece etc ones aren't really crossovers. The only thing they share with regular DW games is the gameplay, but even that has slight variations in each series. They all follow their own story/characters with no influence from Dynasty/Samurai. Haven't played many of them (not too keen on many of the IPs they use), but I must say the Arslan one was great if you like that anime/manga!

As for Orochi, while it uses the Dynasty/Samurai characters all of the battles and storylines used are original for the games. So in some ways there's more content (especially in playable characters, an absolute tonne of them in Orochi), but often the battles aren't as good or fleshed out as those found in Dynasty/Samurai.

I didn't mean crossover like DW meets One Piece just the gameplay similarities. And thanks!

The fuck? How did I not know that there are new Samurai Warrior games? Stupid wiki led me to believe that the last one was on PS2. I think I know what I'll be playing this weekend :)

Wow, the Switch is getting quite the love from Koei Tecmo when it comes to the Warriors series.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if we got a port of Hyrule Warriors with Breath of the Wild DLC.
