Former PlayStation exclusive series Way of the Samurai is making the platform jump. Publisher Spike announced its intentions to bring Way of the Samurai 3 to the Xbox 360 in February.

Originally released on the PlayStation 3 in November, Way of the Samurai 3 (aka Samurai Dou 3) debuted in Japan with 81,000 units sold. Not bad for a week's worth of sales, but developer Acquire and Spike may want to up those numbers with a port for Xbox 360 owners. The new version, dated for February 26th in Japan, will have "new elements" and offer downloadable content of some form.

Hopefully, that means we're one step closer to a Western release, regardless of the platform. I've always loved these quirky, if graphically underwhelming samurai adventure games. Who's with me? Anyone?

I never really liked it.

So whatever.

Well I'm sure the Japanese debut will be spectacular. We all know how Japanese consumers love ports months after the original, on a less popular console no less. And unless it's advertised to hell, this will sell next to nothing in the west.

Sweet, I really liked the first two. I'm happy :)

What type of game is this?

I wonder how much it'll sell in Japan.

this game would never interest me.

Holy PS2 graphics!

But I hope this means a NA/EU release, one way or another. I love samurai.

Neat, but it's not going to sell that great. The only advantage it's going to have is that it's coming out within 4 months of the PS3 release, which is *kind of* close....It may sell ~30,000 units LTD.

For the record, Bioshock came out last week for the PS3, in Japan. It sold 1/10th of the 360's debut :-p

lol ok. nice thread title XD
