Import

Import or Remix, known as the Mixjoy or MIXJOY option in Japanese titles, is an optional procedure made to improve an expansion or spin-off for Koei's games. The basic process of importing data is as follows:


 * 1) Pop in the expansion title and select the Import option in the game menu.
 * 2) After the option to import disc data has been approved, open the disc tray.
 * 3) Insert the copy of the original game and close the tray.
 * 4) Once the game has loaded the data, open the disc tray once more.
 * 5) Re-insert the disc for the expansion game and play.

* This process may have to be repeated each time the player wishes to access it for their expansion titles.

Performing the process with an expansion game allows players to access several optional features and treats for having the original copy. This trait is mostly limited to the titles on the PlayStation 2. The next-gen version of Samurai Warriors 2 had the Xtreme Legend bonuses available as downloadable content for the original game.

Even then, all characters, stages, scenarios and access to the original game's Musou Mode and prior Free Mode stages are all unlocked.
