Koei held a presentation in Tokyo today to unveil their upcoming title Sengoku Musou 3 for the Wii, which was initially announced last year during Nintendo's Fall Press Conference back in October. Attending the presentation were special guests were Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, who talked about Sengoku Musou 3 and Famicom Disk System title Nazo no Murasamejou, and popular musician Gackt, who will be doing the game's theme song.

The game will feature over 35 different characters, which includes Kuroda Kanbei, Kaihime, and Kato Kiyamasa. It will be the first actual Musou title for the Wii, though Koei had released the lackluster Samurai Warriors: Katana for the system earlier. The game's concept is "Starting with Ikkitousen on Wii". A Nazo no Murasamejou mode was announced, but there are no further details.

Sengoku Musou 3 will release this November in Japan, and will see a limited "Treasure Box" version, which will include the black Classic Controller Pro. More details will be made available later. The game will be playable at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show. Check out more pictures from the presentation at the source.

    i almost thought that the attached photo had shigeru miyamoto and gackt in it... would have been awesome/surreal to see both of them in the same photo.

    they're both *bleep*ing awesome, even if they do sometimes get ridiculous ideas (and act on them).

      Major, major Japanese pop star who does music for anime and video games fairly often. He's been around a long time, too.

      That's pretty much it.

        RabidChinaGirl pretty much summed it up. Gackt is one of Japan's biggest pop/rock stars, soon-to-be Hollywood actor, and Japan's icon of "coolness".

        He's also appeared in bunch of games (Bujingai, FFVII: Crisis Core, FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus, Bounty Hunter, etc), has sung theme songs for a bunch more games, and appeared in tonnes of game commercials (including MGS2).

        And he has a *bleep*ing AMAZING voice

        ...and face.

        *flails*

      Gackt is your lord and master. Either that, or he will help ensure the "rekijo" (female history otaku) that Capcom swears it created will now once again return to the loving arms of Date Masamune (Koei's version, of course).
