Back when the Nintendo 3DS first launched, it offered a thin range of content and the console struggled as a result. But if there was any one game that justified for me the launch purchase of that little console, it was the original Samurai Warriors Chronicles. Related reading: Our review…
Read MoreOne of the most exciting announcements from Koei Tecmo recently has been that it is finally localising a Nobunaga’s Ambition game.
