I don't get why Wii is hated so much, it's been sold more than the PS3 and the X-Box in Japan, it's understandable that it's the graphics that are hated but, hating the entire console? at least it's not almost nothing but shooter games like the X-Box and it also lasts a lot longer than any other console
The Wii itself isn't a bad system, but it really wasn't the best system for SW3 to be exclusive to as far as the targeted audience goes. The demographics for most SW fans were the PS2 and xb360. To randomly change it to the console that didn't really support the series before probably hurt sales in America and Europe the most.

Not to say the Wii is a bad console, but just when most of your targeted fans have a 360 or moved on to a PS3, putting it on a console that neither one may have seems like a bad idea.

Sengoku Basara 3 had the right idea.
at least now I can see some reasons but that's just for SW3 not any other reason

That may be just a coincidence that it's been announced on April 1. So, it is perhaps not an April Fools Joke. If so, luckily I bought the Japanese version. I still find that Samurai Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends will be released outside of Japan. At least for up to 100% Samurai Warriors 3.
They do an April Fool's joke on this site every year...In fact, the only reason I checked the site today was just to see the joke. Its also funny seeing as how a few other fan pages I check out are all listing their respective games as canceled...lol. But this years WoW's Crabby gimmick was definitely the best.
I'm sorry to say, but if this is a joke it's actually kind of malicious going by how people are responding to it.

At least Crabby was actually funny.

I don't hate the Wii. Just the amount of shovelware that third party companies keep pushing out for it. Yes, the main franchise games are pretty good, and every so often you get a really great third party game, but 80% of it's shovelware abusing the whole WAGGLE feature.

Now, if you enjoy those types of games with your family, then by all means, keep enjoying them. That's what the Wii was made for. But there's just too few games of my interest and when they do, they usually don't get localized in the states.

Fatal Frame 4.

Edit: I'm more inclined to believe it's true just because of the fact that SW3's NA sales sucked. Badly. Not sure how it did in EU, but it would seem more costly for KoeiTecmo to localize this game if they feel the profit isn't worth it.

Of course, if it does turn out to be an April Fool's Joke, then color me fooled and pissed off, because that's the kind of stuff you really shouldn't joke about. That, and faking deaths. It's just not funny.

Lastly, if it is a joke, I would hope they hurry up and say it is, so that I could cancel my order on Play-Asia if so.

It wasn't good to release it out on the wii in the first place.
I almost want to say "I told you so", but who can be sure that it's completely the Wii's fault?

What helped to kill the hype/sales was the gap between the EU release date and the NA release date, not the only reason but I know I had lost a lot of interest between that time.

All for a feature that I don't even use (online). Seriously outside of Brawl and Animal Crossing, what games on the Wii have a successful following online? Does Call of Duty count?
Lol. I myself prefer the ps3, I never said I blamed it on the wii itself?
People in America are used to playing the game on the ps or the xbox console.
And suddenly one day, it's on the wii with nunchuks blah blah blah, there's the typical controller but still~
And samurai Warriors isn't as popular as dynasty warriors so we could assume that it's not as popular.
Samurai Warriors 2 did fine. :O
There's some people that stated if it was released before dynasty warriors 4, it would be more popular.

Ugh I hope this is a joke, if it weren't for the series being newer and having less characters, i would prefer it over DW.

Sengoku BASARA is not over. Hell no.

SW....could be. I would be sad, but the new voice acting kind of ruined SW3 for me. I loved SW2, was really dissapointed with SW3.
you cannot be serious? SW2 was ok i guess but the VA was ATROCIOUS!...i guess every one has their opinion :mellow: anyways this IS a joke right? i just wanted to make sure TT_TT lol

So does anyone know if this is true or not? If it is, I'm gonna be so bummed. I mean, I could go buy a Wii for this game, but all of that extra content and 60fps... gone. :sad: And importing games is out of the question for me. I don't know enough Japanese to do that and it'd kinda ruin the whole experience of playing the game. -_-

The voice acting SW2 wasn't that bad....but when you upgraded to SW2XL; then, well..........

And SW2 was really fun to play. Hours and hours. SW3 was just the same thing with bad graphics. And cool menus.

I have a been a HUGE fan of these games since 2004. I don't say that they're the same thing a lot.

Tbh I think it's more likely that it's true, since they haven't said it's a joke by now. -_- Which really kinda sucks. Either way I don't like it - if it's a joke as other people have said it wasn't a very nice one, but if it's true it could have been held off the front page for a day or two, so we could've avoided this unpleasant confusion. :/

I wish they'd tell us for sure, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed about the April Fools thing. But this isn't the first time I thought something was an AF joke, but it ended up being true. :(

Considering it's April 3rd (I think?) in the UK right now, I'm pretty sure it's not a joke. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I think it is true as well; I think this means there won't be anymore SW games, maybe? But yeah, I think it's true.

It's April 2nd in the UK (as Yuqi just said xD;), but still long enough for there to have been some 'April Fools!!1' comment about it by now. :/ I'm not holding my breath either. (And the longer there is no confirmation about it being a joke, the more my hope dies.. T_T In this case, no news might as well not be good news.)

I will try and be positive and say that I don't think this will be the last SW game KOEI releases overseas.. Or at least I'm not ready to believe that just yet. ..It's still strange to me.. SW3 Z I could possibly understand not making it over here, but I would've thought that XL still had a chance. We normally get XL games released outside Japan, after all..? :\

I still stand by my claim that it's a joke. Why? No official statement. (Although, I can't quite remember is WOZ had one?)
Also, only KW is saying this. Should've appeared on Kotaku and Destructoid by now or something. (When WOZ was cancelled, it was said there as well.)

I know I've been stressing this like, three times, but... yeah. xD

I believed the joke for like

ten minutes. Then I rolled my eyes.

It's to perfect you guys. It might be a 'good prediction' but source please? What, NO ONE else has seen the source of this, JUST Koei Warriors? It's a cruel and unusual April Fools joke. The Oichi crying face is sorta proof of that, unless they had that in reserve for if it got canceled or something.

It's waay to perfect. The funny picture, the drastic message of no more SW games, absolutely no source, and no other game sites have heard of this.

Now it might be true that SW3Z may not come out, but I'm inclined to believe if Koei knows anything about it's NA/EU fans, and I'm sure they've done some research, would know releasing SW3 on the PS3/xbox would greatly succeed for both the franchise, and their sales.

It will probably take a few more months just for any sort of confirmation, good or bad. At the least though- We will see XL. I'm pretty sure of that. It will sell horribly because- It's for the Wii, but it's an expansion pack. Either way though I'm sure we will see one, if not, both of them.

Just not any time soon.

One thing that I've noticed, is that there are no SW games for PS3-well save for Z....

mostly PS2 and 360. So it could be on 360 and not PS3? DON'T LEAVE ME HANGING HERE!

I hope SW4 will be on the PS3/360 and not on the Wii.

Oh you! :P

Not that I believed it much, the last paragraph was a little over dramatic. But still, good one, got a lot of people going and was something a lot of people are expecting so I guessed that helped.

Here's to hoping the truth will come out soon, and for it all to be the way we're hoping. ;)

Huh, so it was a joke. You got me pretty good, I'll definitely admit to that.

However, I think I'll opt to not cancel my import order after all. I truly don't think Koei has any intention on releasing it overseas, and if they did, then they're truly feeling generous considering its' **** tastic sales in the west.

Good one.

Edit: Don't feel sorry for me- I fell for it, plain and simple. Oh well, got to go beat up Lu Bu a few more times to get my ego back up again after this humiliation.
