A very good sign after Capcom’s relatively hot and cold relationship with Nintendo this generation so far – and fortunately, it’s only been getting better as of late. Good business decisions. And apparently Capcom USA recently registered the Sengoku Basara trademark here, so we may be seeing 3 hit the Wii in the west. It’d make a great counter to Koei’s Samurai Warriors 3 and another strong hack and slasher for the system in general. And frankly, relocalizing the series to focus on its Japanese Sengoku Jidai storyline rather than completely changing it like they did in the PS2 “Devil Kings” release would make it an even stronger competitor.
Now if they’d just bring over Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes – which includes the original “Devil Kings” Sengoku Basara that hit the PS2 here as an unlockable, two games for the price of one – and sell it for a decent price as a game that’s been out for a couple of years in Japan now and they’d have a great introduction to the series here.
