Samurai Warriors 3 (戦国無双3, Sengoku Musou 3) is a recently announced sequel in the Samurai Warriors franchise that has so far been announced as a Wii exclusive. Like Dynasty Warriors 6, the game will completely revive the series. Character designs and animations will be different than before to create a "refreshing action game".

The Classic Controller Pro set will have goods usually made for Treasure Box releases, such as the game's soundtrack and a figurine of one of the characters (Kaihime).

[edit] Gameplay

The Charge, Normal, and Special action types remain from Samurai Warriors 2. C5s and C9s from the Xtreme Legends expansion also return. Musou moves still have the same slow motion effect and continues to allow players to act freely until the gauge is empty. The slowdown effect, however, will be emphasized more.

The previous character stories will be replaced with a different story system, which is separated into three phases. It essentially follows events of the Kanto big three -which features daimyo such as Shingen, Ujiyasu and Kenshin, the three unifiers' actions for unification, and the Sekigahara Campaign.

  • Rengi Gauge - a gauge that builds up and allows players to cancel certain attacks in exchange for more powerful ones. The rate at which this occurs as well as the power behind the attack depends on the level of the gauge.
  • Musou Secret: Kaiden - combines the powers of the Rengi Gauge and Musou together. Highly destructive and free for the user to control to their liking. Uses unique camera angles during this sequence.
  • Battlefield items are now determined before the stages starts. Players can equip their characters from three sets and may use them in battle as they please. To gain more items, players may complete missions during each stage to unlock more.
  • Certain stages allow players to interact with objects in the environment called gimmicks. They can shoot from stationary cannons at Osaka Castle and can invade Odawara from the skies by gliding down from hawks.

Unlike Samurai Warriors: Katana, players can use either the Wii controllers or the Gamecube controllers with this title.
