Way of the Samurai ninja-rolls to the Xbox 360

Another PlayStation exclusive has made the jump to the Xbox 360! Don't get too excited it's Way of the Samurai. After selling just over 80,000 units in Japan on the PlayStation 3 in November, publisher Spike has seen fit to try its hand at an Xbox 360 release. Way of the Samurai 3 (Samurai Dou 3) is slated to release on the Xbox 360 in Japan on February 26, 2009. Developer Acquire and publisher Spike promise the Xbox version will include new elements and offer some kind of downloadable content.

as to the broad subject of the 360 taking exclusives:

im expecting another E3 announcement like last year...

only this time, we are taking Metal Gear Solid 4!

Lol @ getting MGS4(probably not gonna happen). I'd probably say 360 is getting FFvXIII.

MGS4-360 won't happen, simply because Kojima wants it to stay PS3, although it would run quite easily, and most probably run better than 30hz too - I'd need to play 2 & 3 first on the Game Cube.. As the Solid series is done, we are more likley to see the new Metal Gear story multiplatform.. where then I make an interest

FFXIIIvs is most likley, I can't think of any coup's MS would really want for the 360.. unless they pick up more rubbish like Tekken..

My second guess would be MS have secretly been buying shares in Sony, whereby, MS will gain the majority, and start making cell powered toasters

I love this series. I own the first two games for PS2 and have put a lot of hours into both but still never completed everything there was to do. I hope this means the game is coming to the US. I didn't even know that a 3rd installment was released actually. I don't own a PS3 anyways so I wouldn't be able to play it but if they release it for Xbox 360 in the US I will be very stoked.

I will be flying out the door to pre-order this if they ever announce a North American release date. The first 2 games are modern day classics in my opinion.

"don't get too excited"? looks like plenty are, and for good reason. i really enjoyed the first game on the PS2. it was a bit like shenmue, but with more player freedom, and more of an emphasis on fighting. very fun game. not incredibly polished, but a lot of fun, and unique.
