The anime "Wrath of the Ninja" is based on this novel.

* The novel " Yōtōden" depicts him as a demon warlord who slays all who stand in his way and who can only be defeated with three mystical weapons from three different ninja clans. * A artifact spirit impersonating Nobunaga serves as the primary villain in the manga " Tenka Musō". * Nobunaga is a minor but critical character in the manga (and later anime) " Flame of Recca", where he is shown to be responsible for the annihilation of the Hokkage ninja clan. * Nobunaga appears in the Yoshihiro Takahashi manga " Kacchu no Senshi Gamu". * Nobunaga is a central character in Eiji Yoshikawa's historical novel "Taiko ki", where he is shown as a firm but benevolent lord. * Tsuji Kunio's historical fiction "" depicts Nobunaga's life.
KESSEN 3 MONKEY AND NOBUNAGA MOVIE
*Nobunaga is played by Daisuke Ryu in Akira Kurosawa's movie " Kagemusha". *In the Japanese science fiction film " Sengoku Jieitai 1549" Nobunaga is killed by time-stranded Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers in battle while he is still young his identity is assumed by the leader of the soldiers. While most of these depictions show Nobunaga to be villainous or demonic, a few show him in a far more positive light. A Gempei War done in Kessen 1's style would be appealing, though I would like if it kept some of the RPG style equipment or choices that 3 and 2 respectively had, though equipment in 3 was a pain to get.(seriously, I never got past Chapter 4, but to get S ranks on some of the missions while getting all the items already on the map is obnoxious at times.Okehazama anyone?).There have been many fictional depictions of Oda Nobunaga, the 16th century Japanese warlord. I guess there are a lot of other areas to explore. I would also be open for a game based on Liu Bang, or even on Qin Shi Huangdi. I think it would be much more interesting to do one about Mori Motonari, or to step outside of the Sengoku era and do one about the Gempei War (similar to Kessen 1 meaning the player would chose between playing as the Taira or as the Minamoto). Though the spin-off Mystic heroes was released in europe (don't know if it was released in the us).Īnyway if Koei would ever do another Kessen game (though its doubful seeing how its been 11 years since the 3rd game came out), I think they should avoid making another entry based on one of the three unifiers. The first game was an SRPG and the second was more of an Action-RPG, but none of them were released outside of Japan. Koei actually did Fengshen Yanyi, not in Kessen, but in a seperate RPG series, which had two entries (the first for PS1 and the second for PS2) and a musou-like spin-off called Mystic Heroes. Even the Edo Period has a lot of potential-particularly at the earlier and later ends, when it was so bloody. Imagine a Kessen game that takes inspiration from Yoshikawa's Taiko, or Musashi. And it's not like going back and tackling the same era from a different perspective can't be awesome. Автор сообщения: Arsene-LupinPersonally I'd love to see them tackle the Fengshen Yanyi.Īs for other periods for Kessen games, specifically, to tackles. (There was chaos, then there were heroes, etc etc.) They could finally, try out a Mongolian invasion of Japan, which Japan repelled by use of natural weather and ground forces.

Why not go outside of the box? The Imjin Account of the Japanese invasion of Korea and the Korean hero Admiral Yi? They could also go the route of the Unification and formation of the Han, which mirrors the Three Kingdoms Account quite a bit. I guess they could also do a more faithful retelling of the Three Kingdoms story, though they've done that many times across all their titles. Or they could do the Genpei or Boshin War.they haven't touched those at all outside of Warriors Orochi and the only game I know of that has explored them in any degree of seriousness is Shogun 2.

Автор сообщения: ArthogawaThe only problem with a Kessen 4 is that the only time period they can explore without doing a retelling of 1-3 is Hideyoshi's unification of Japan following Nobunaga's death.
