Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends Info Thread

This is an information only thread. I want people to come here and be able to read the info without flipping through pages of talk.

Here comes a bit of info from the place I normally get all my info, Gamespot.

Koei announced that the Xtreme Legends version of its hack-and-slash action game Samurai Warriors will see a North American release. The stand-alone expansion will arrive on US store shelves in November, exclusively for the PlayStation 2.

The Japanese publisher previously announced the pseudo-sequel/expansion for Japan, and little, if anything, has changed for the North American release. Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends is similar to the Xtreme Legends versions of Koei's Dynasty Warriors games set in China. While it can be played without a copy of the original Samurai Warriors, only the new content, including new characters, weapons, missions, and fighting skills, will be accessible.

Samurai Warriors is set in 16th-century Japan, and it casts players as a samurai in the politically turbulent Sengoku, or "warring states," period. The Japanese version of Xtreme Legends will be released this September. GameSpot will provide more details on the game as they emerge, although Alex Navarro's review of the nonXtreme edition of Samurai Warriors is available now.

------------- ----------- ----------- --------------

TOKYO--The latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation 2 magazine has revealed new details about the "Xtreme Legends" version of Samurai Warriors (Sengoku Musou) for release in Japan. The game's existence was previously revealed by a teaser on the official Japanese-language Samurai Warriors Web site.

Like the Xtreme Legends versions of Koei's other medieval tactical hack-and-slashers, Dynasty Warriors 4: Xtreme Legends and Dynasty Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends, Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends (Sengoku Musou Moushouden) is an expansion pack/pseudo-sequel to the first Samurai Warriors. While Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends can be played without the original Samurai Warriors disc, only the newly added content will be playable. To experience the game in its full capacity with all the stages and modes unlocked, players will need both games.

Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends will add four new characters to the roster of 15 characters from the original Samurai Warriors. Out of the four newly announced characters--Imagawa Yoshimoto, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Honda Tadakazu, and Inahime--only details on Yoshimoto and Hideyoshi have been revealed by Koei at the current time.

Imagawa Yoshimoto (1519-1560) was known historically as a politician without military skills. In the game, he is portrayed with a courtly look, wearing a robe rather than armor and looking out of shape. Aside from slicing with his sword, Yoshimoto also fights by using his Kyoto-style kicking ball.

Hashiba Hideyoshi (1536-1598) was born as a peasant but became a great warlord who fought under Oda Nobunaga. After Nobunaga was assassinated, Hideyoshi took over Japan and changed his name to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends, Hideyoshi fights using a sansetsukon, a Chinese weapon made of three sticks connected with chain that gives him a long reach.

Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends will have a new single-player mode and a new two-player mode. In single-player, gamers can fight their way through a randomly generated castle dungeon to acquire items and points that can be used to power up weapons. The new two-player mode is a one-on-one mode, where the two players can directly fight against each other.

Aside from new characters and game modes, Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends will have a number of game balance changes from the original Samurai Warriors. The enemy thugs that became too strong when the player's character advanced will be toned down for the sake of brisker gameplay. Two new levels of game difficulty, named heaven and hell, will offer players a very easy and a very difficult setting, respectively.

The character growth system in Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends will be different as well. All the attributes and skills of the characters can be raised to max without having to score high on each of the stages. There will also be level-6 weapons for the characters, which have become a tradition in Koei's Xtreme Legends releases.

Samurai Warriors will be released on September 16 at the retail price of 4,494 yen ($41) alongside two special editions of the game. A 9,240 yen ($85) deluxe edition called Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends Treasure Box will come with a Honda Tadakazu figure model, a game strategy guidebook, character cards, and a CD-ROM that contains powered-up character data. The 10,290 ($95) Samurai Warriors Premium Pack will feature the original Samurai Warriors game and the CD-ROM with powered-up character data

Here's something VeGiTAX2 forwarded to me:

SAMURAI WARRIORS(tm) XTREME LEGENDS(r)

INTRODUCTION

Rally the Troops! Reinforcements Have Arrived! KOEI's award-winning internal
studio, Omega Force, the creators of Dynasty Warriors(r) and Samurai
Warriors(tm) introduces its newest heroes in Samurai Warriors Xtreme
Legends(r). Take on the role of four new legendary warriors, each in a
unique story with branches and multiple endings. By your own hand, you will
forge a new destiny for Japan!

Samurai Warriors Xtreme Legends (SWXL) can be used as an expansion pack, but
it can also be played without the original Samurai Warriors (PS2) disc. When
the original Samurai Warriors is remixed with SWXL, all of the new XL
features will be available. SWXL is exclusive to the PlayStation(r)2
computer entertainment system.

FEATURES

* Four new playable warriors!
* Lead a campaign on the new Battlefield of Komaki-Nagakute!
* New VS mode stages, new Survival mode course and new difficulty levels.
* Added 6th weapon level and upgrade system.
* New items and skills.
* Redesigned 2P Musou attack.
* Modified Character Growth System and Character Potentials, improved
balance and A.I., new levels of difficulty, and much more!
* Bonus Visual Encyclopedia!
* Memory card data from Samurai Warriors is compatible with Samurai Warriors
Xtreme Legends.


STORY MODE & FREE MODE (UNMIXED)

As a standalone game, SWXL's Story mode tells of the tales of four legendary
warriors. In SWXL's unmixed Free mode, gamers can play the new Story mode
stages using any of the 15 original characters or SWXL's four new
characters.

The game's four new playable characters are Tadakatsu Honda- Loyal Samurai,
Warrior Princess Inahime, Hideyoshi Hashiba- Unifier of Japan, and Warlord
Yoshimoto Imagawa!

Tadakatsu Honda - Loyal Samurai
The mighty Honda emerged from 57 battles completely unscathed. One of
Ieyasu's most loyal retainers, Honda, at the Battle of Komaki-Nagakute, was
separated from Ieyasu's main army. Honda and his unit single-handedly faced
Hideyoshi's army, thereby proving his inexhaustible bravery. Praised for
his qualities by allies and enemies alike, Honda's main weapon is the
legendary Iron Spear.

Warrior Princess Inahime
An imposing warrior, and daughter of Tadakatsu Honda, Inahime is a proud and
graceful woman possessing ancient Japanese grace and values. Though the bow
is her main weapon, her splendid movements and beauty are sufficient to fell
almost any enemy.

CHARGE THE NEW BATTLEFIELD OF KOMAKI-NAGAKUTE

SWXL includes the original 18 maps plus the new Battlefield of
Komaki-Nagakute, for a total of 19 maps.

STORY MODE & FREE MODE (REMIXED)

When Samurai Warriors is remixed with SWXL, the new SWXL characterizations
will appear in the stories of other characters. For example, if you play
Nobunaga's Tale in the original Samurai Warriors, at the Battle of
Okehazama, Tadakatsu Honda will appear with his new design rather than in a
standard officer uniform. Honda will also have his new XL abilities!

MUST-SEE REMIX FEATURES

New Vs. Mode Stages, New Survival Mode Course
Along with three new stages in Vs mode, SWXL includes a new Survival mode
stage and two additional difficulty settings.

Redesigned 2P Musou Attack! Based on user feedback, each player now has a
separate Musou attack gauge.

New 6th Weapon Level, Power Up Items & Skills
SWXL includes a new weapon level for all 19 characters. Furthermore, in the
game's new weapon system, players can power-up their weapons by paying a
blacksmith or by purchasing items.

SWXL includes many opportunities to find and gather new power up items and
exclusive skills to boost character growth.

Modified Character Growth System
With SWXL's new Character growth system, the old max levels from the
original Samurai Warriors are obsolete. If a player finishes Samurai
Warriors with a "maxed" character, playing the remixed game will continue to
raise the character's ability levels.

Bonus Encyclopedia
SWXL's in-depth Encyclopedia includes detailed information about the
historical events and warriors depicted in the game.

re: Samurai Warriors: Xtreme Legends Info Thread

The compatible memory card data is what im wondering about, does it include levels of the characters or would it only be related to the items or mission percentage from the previous game
