Thanks to japanese GameWatch site we can have a first look on a Xbox360 port of Koei's Samurai Warriors 2. Along with slightly better graphics, Xbox360 version will have a online mode where two generals fight for better time score, no co-op though.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Weeks ago)

aww you can't blame the japanese, the xbox360 isn't such a huge hit (it bombed worse than the xbox), so i doubt companies are willing to spend so much cost and production values on an xbox360 , without realising they would make the money back.
I think japan is just watching, seeing if the xbox360 has potential..if so, japan will embrace it and make great quality and exclusive titles..we got some great exlcusive games coming out this year and over next year..those will determine if it's worth developing for or not..and dear god i hope they will be a success..otherwise japan will throw away all support from xbox360 and simply stick with ps3 ports

Looks alright to me, if you were expecting Gears of War quality then i'm not surprised some of you are disappointed.
Sure its' nothing special, but i agree with Splicer, Art style is very nice.

Because nobody wanted to buy the console for 1 game (or because barely anyone owns the console there), I'm pretty sure Enchanted Arms will do well in Europe and America, much like Otogi 1 and 2 did.
Blim has reviewed Enchant Arm and he said it wasn't a bad game, even though he couldn't understand the Japanese text. (so it can't be that bad)

Why don't they spend some money.. So what it won't sell in japan . it will sell here if they put time and effort into their damn work.. Koei , you guys are really killing me..
and honestly that's why Phantagram is better totally.
Mainly because there won't be that many 360 consoles in Japan to meet demand.
I would say 600'000 in 3 months.
Just like jollipop said, there are some steller japan games coming out soon and those will be the breaking point for xbox360's success in my eyes.. Blue dragon, cry on (this game will be huge!), lost odyssey, MAGNA CARTA 2!! (YES! this korean smas has a sequel and it's coming to the xbox360!!) are just some of the anticipated japan games..xbox360 is still young in japan and hasn't got any blockbuster game titles..once they start rolling, people will embrace it in my opinion.
Like jolli and Alimo said, i believe too enchant arm will be a hit overseas in america and europe..it's one of my most anticipated JRPG and i can't wait for it...once japan realises there is potential for profit..they will aim for games....the sad thing is..they already know the ps3 and wii will be a smash hit in their homeland, therefore there is no fear or loosing out on profit

Though i believe small companies will loose out..those companies might be the ones with great game ideas and games and too much development costs might lead them to develp for the xbox360..which isn't bad news for gamers .. End of the day, if you have an xbox360, ps3 and wii..you aren't missing out on anything..you would get exclusive console only games..i did that with this gen..got a ps2, xbox and gamecube..and love them all

Square-Enix is stuck in past, and are about to milk another game.. Therefor I see Square falling soon..Mistwalker will rise and be the new Square.
If you think this art is bad, you haven't seen FFXII, girl looks like Yuna and the guy form verus looks like Riku.
Give Koei a break, one is Koei..lol..and I think its really good..
I see Koei, getting better, and I see the 360 getting better.. If sony just does one thing worng.. more and likey there going to lose..
360 will see more with Hironobu Sakaguch on there side once he gets games out there. Its a plus for MS, with him so far only making games for the 360, well DS.. but still mark my worlds he stays with MS.. 360 sell better in Japan
edit my post is way off topic, but blah..

It manages to be even *worse* than DW2 because of the lack of shadows...
That game's name is Bladestorm: The Hundred Years, formely known as Ni-Oh (yeah that one that used to have a super nice looking face)
