Warriors Orochi PSP's western trip gets trailer

While Koei's fan service-filled cross-over of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors left us satisfied after tyrants Nobunaga Oda and Cao Cao faced off, we always wondered how nice it would be if we could take Warriors Orochi (previously on the Microsoft Xbox 360) everywhere for hack-and-slash action on the go. Fortunately, the Japanese developer recently announced that the epic collision of two worlds is indeed set for the Sony PlayStation Portable. Unbelievers can take a look at the new trailer of Warrior Orochi's handheld version.

The entire roster is composed of 48 warriors from ancient China and 29 from their counterparts coming from Japan's camp. Of course, having a huge selection isn't fun when you'll be stuck with one character alone during missions that can last an hour, so Koei allowed the use of three characters per person who can connect with friends wirelessly via Ad-Hoc for co-op play. It's also nice to see that Warriors Orochi did not lose visual flair even in its bite-sized iteration.

Koei tagged March 25 as the release date of Warriors Orochi's PSP and PC versions in North America. While waiting for next month, you can watch the trailer below.

» I am impressed!

So far except for the movies are taken out and replaced as slides the game plays pretty much the same. Sure you can tell the textures are a bit toned down but ok on the PSP.

» Yeah!!!!

Hope that this game is not like the previous games that you can move on slot after and other and fight slow toward the boss..because that just take the fun out of the game. I like system like the ones on the PS2 and the PS3 ones. Quick and Entertaining!!
