Koei really needs to localize Nobunaga's Ambition

We've got fingers, toes, and pretty much everything else crossed for an English language version of Kunitori Zunou Battle Nobunaga no Yabou (Domination Battle of the Brains: Nobunaga's Ambition).It's not that we're massively enamored by the Dynasty Warriors-style art or anything (we're really not, actually), but any game which lets us indulge in long, beard-stroking periods of deliberation while mentally picturing ourselves as great military daimyo commanding vast armies in feudal Japan will be lapped up around these parts. Oh yeah, and some of us could really do with being weaned off of other strategy titles.
Going by the latest screens, we're confident that this will boast a lovely, hard-centered strategic core for us to sink our teeth into and generally obsess about, so let's see it in the west, Koei!

Yes they do! I am a huge fan of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms era and series of games. I hope this one makes it to the English audiences.

There are a lot of great Japanese Koei titles which seriously deserve to be localized. :D
This one sounds amazing as well.

I kind of like the style, but, then again, Dynasty Warriors is one of my occasional guilty pleasures. If this is localized I would seriously consider purchasing it, as I'm definitely up for a more serious type of strategy game. Do oblige us, Koei.

Amen! Bring it on!
If there were only something I could do to make it happen, alas, my most likely possibility is to learn to read Kanji.

I loved this on the SNES & would love it even more on my DS...

Clandaith, I'm right there with you. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms games were GREAT. I got my start with Ghengis Khan for the NES. I really hope this game gets localized for the US.
