Following the recent announcement that Dragon Quest IX will be published by Nintendo in North America, the company has revealed another publishing partnership for an exclusive video game from a big Japanese publisher: Nintendo will co-publish Koei's Samurai Warriors 3 in North America this fall.
It makes sense that Nintendo would take the stewardship role for this video game, as it contains a mode featuring characters and locations from Nintendo's Nazo no Murasame-jou ("The Mysterious Murasame Castle"), a Famicom Disk System video game designed by none other than Shigeru Miyamoto. In any case, this is one way for Nintendo to ensure ongoing releases of third-party core video games on its systems: by plucking existing ones from Japan and publishing them in North America itself.
Nintendo publishing Samurai Warriors 3 with Tecmo Koei originally appeared on Joystiq Nintendo on Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:29:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
