Yeah, heard about this earlier today but was too lazy to post. :D Anyway, some basic info:

-This is a localization of NA 12: Kakushin
- Kakushin's official site: http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/kakushin/index.htm
- This localization is said to have 9 scenarios, which likely means some from the PUK version.
- The game plays A LOT like RotK XI.
-Ability to send officers as hostages to another clan to increase relations.
-Ability to trade technology, which is a large part of warfare and domestics.
-Naval battles!
-New portraits for most officers that are highly superior to NA 11's.

Unfortunately, this will still almost assuredly not include the PUK features.

9 scenarios...

1555 - Power Struggle
1561 - Tiger Vs. Dragon
1570 - Coalition Against Nobunaga
1582 - Eve of Honnoji
1557 - Heroes of Sengoku(in this scenario, people like Hojo Soun, Amago Tsunehisa and Oda Nobuhide are alive, obviously fictional, also later clans like the Shibata, Ukita, Akechi and Tsugaru are already around.)
1555 - Remix of Sengoku (in this scenario, most clans have been "remixed" location-wise on the map. You have the Oda starting in Shikoku and the Hojo in Kyushu, for instance.)
1560 - Battle of Fates (The Tokugawa in this scenario begin in Edo... and the Sanada begin in Osaka. The battle between two fated enemies begins.)
1567 - Rise of the Demon King (Ten years after Saito Dosan's death, Nobunaga has claimed Inabayama Castle, and truly becomes a force to reckon with in Japan.)
1575 - Battle of Nagashino (Self-explanatory~)

So yeah, no PUK scenario. PUK scenarios was Battle of Shizugatake(with Hideyoshi, Katsuie, and Nobunaga's sons all controlling their own areas,) Sekigahara, and Counterattack of the Toyotomi(basically right after Sekigahara, many Toyotomi loyalists joined right back up with Hideyori and are raring to go fight the Tokugawa.)

lolwtf. Iron Triangle?

What?

WHAT?!

What the hell is that meant to refer to?

9 campaigns is pretty nice since you'd normally have to DL them, but it's a shame you guys won't get Sekigahara.

Uh, those 9 campaigns are all in the default version of NA12. Also, they explain why the game is subtitled as Iron Triangle(a rather cool name, actually) in the link in the first post. It refers to the three major aspects of the game.

I thought you had to register at Gamecity and download the scenarios off Koei's website in order to play them. I could be wrong about the Japanese version though...

I suppose that's for the PC version maybe? Or maybe the PC version has more scenarios brought back from NA11 like Komaki-Nagakute and the Siege of Odawara(I really wanted both of these in the US version of 11!)

The PC version originally had five scenarios (1555, 1561, 1571, 1582, and a dream scenario), and later you could download two more (Remix of Sengoku, Battle of Fates...which is crappy except for the Matsunaga-force). Apparently in the Japanese version you could unlock or download the other two (Raise of the Demon King, Nagashino).

PUK added Shizugatake (basically 1582 except with much larger Shibata and Toyotomi forces), Sekigahara (extremely fun + challenging for small forces like Uesugi and Sanada who are surrounded by Tokugawa), and a fictional post-Sekigahara campaign which is just like Sekigahara except the Tokugawa is much larger, occupying about 3/4 of Japan.

Iron Triangle just reminds me of the WW2 Pact of Steel and the Axis of Evil. :lol: Navy battles aren't very important in the game anyhow...

Hahaha, Iron Triangle, referring to Oda Nobunaga, Totoyomi Hideoyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. :lol: NA is mostly Oda biased, but I haven't played Takeda yet(More Takeda/Usugi ish game)

Althought NA 12 got power up kit, I'm not going to get my hopes up on the Power Up kit included. :/

Uh, no, it's not. I doubt you've played it, and I have it. It's got notable differences from even ROTK XI(which is conceptually similar,) but nowhere nearly like ROTK IV, which isn't even like ROTK XI!

Hahaha, Iron Triangle, referring to Oda Nobunaga, Totoyomi Hideoyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. :lol:
Play Asia's description says the iron triangle refers to: A new approach to the concept of learning creates a much stronger association between technology suppliers, the military and the government - the Iron Triangle.

Bizarre, I know, lol/

Just a quick note to let everyone know that this has now been released in case anyone forgot about it and wanted the english version. Actually, it's only selling for $29.99, so it really is a bargain for those who wanted to play it in english.

Why are they releasing this for the PS2... ? They could've as well have ported it to the PS3. I so wanted to play one of these games. I just need a good strategy game for the PS3.

Because it's a localization for NA :12 ? Whatever that means.

Since this is for the PS2, I'll get it no doubt as I always been a fan of KOEI strategy games and don't think I'll miss one in a long, long time ;)

Anyone have it yet? Does it have a Japanese language track option (like ROTK11's Chinese language track)?

Well, I have the Chinese PC version with the PUK, but I would assume that all of the battle voices are left in the original Japanese, like RotK XI did with them in Chinese. There isn't a whole lot of speaking in the game, after all, and no scenario intros in this one, either.

Okay, I'm trying the Battle of Owari. Using Yoshimoto only to get him killed in Okehazama.

When is it that Matsudaira Motoyasu will change his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu and claim Okazaki to create the Tokugawa clan?

Ieyasu claims Okazaki after Yoshimoto dies, I think he changes names in 1564-67 Something like that I think (I believe it was that in RtP, been awhile)

But he's still using the Imagawa crest. I'd like to know when he changes into the official Matsudaira/Tokugawa clan. And IIRC, supposedly, Ieyasu and Ujizane split shortly after, but they didn't even split.

...You didn't pick Motoyasu as heir, did you? You need to pick Ujizane, and then the event happens a month later.

This has got to be one of the hardest games to beat I have played as the Date and the Chosokabe I have taken a lot of cities as the Chosokabe no matter how big you get someone is bigger. I have managed to Defend from an onslaught with the Date but having enough food is the issue.
