Samurai Michi - Import Preorder

Playstation 2 players got first crack at Samurai Michi aka Way of the Samurai back in 2002. In the game, a ronin named Kenji finds himself embroiled in a war between the Kurou Clan, the Akadama Clan, and the Japanese authorities. The three factions are all trying to control a sliver of real estate known as Rokkotsu Pass for their own respective reasons. Amidst the tensions, Kenji may lend his sword hand and samurai talents to any of the sides involved in the conflict. By choosing to fight for one side or another, Kenji basically decided his own destiny and creates unique drama all by his lonesome.

The Playstation Portable conversion of Samurai Michi slated to ship later this year is pretty much a direct port of the game but an ad hoc fighting mode has been added to the game options. The publisher also mentions "additional game elements" but it's unclear what those new elements would be at this point. A movie preview of Samurai Michi 3 (PS3) will also be included for fans to check out. Preorders are welcome to ship on September 18, 2008 at JPY3800 or US$38.90 from NCS.
