Sengoku Musou 3: Moushouden

Samurai Warriors 3: Xtreme Legends (戦国無双3 猛将伝), known as Samurai Warriors 3 Z (戦国無双3 Z with Z pronounced as "Zetto") for the Playstation 3 version, is an upgrade of Samurai Warriors 3. The Playstation 3 port marks the first time the game is playable outside of the Wii console. It will include the features of both the original and expansion with the exception of the Murasame Castle Mode.

There are no plans at present to release a Premium Box edition of the Xtreme Legends version. Instead, Z is scheduled for the bonus package. The Treasure Box for Z includes the usual developer commentary and illustration book, a copy of the original soundtrack, and an exclusive daily calendar.

Changes

 * Characters who previously had no story modes in the the original release now have stories in the Xtreme Legends version.
 * Two difficulty levels, Novice and Hell, will be added to the game.
 * The character graphics have been updated. Profile information and a voice collection can be viewed for the characters in the Dojo mode.
 * Secondary rare weapons will be available for collection. Players also have an option to further customize their weapons and equipment.
 * Two new modes will be available: the Trial mode and the Self-History mode.
 * The Trial mode presents various challenges for players to complete. They can compare their scores in an online ranking system. Players can participate in three known courses: Kengō, Tōha, and Shibuki. Kengō has the player fight an endless flood of enemies within a set time limit. Crowds will gradually become stronger as they are defeated during this course. Tōha is a race through within a castle setting with several possible routes to the finish line. Depending on the path players use, their available skills and abilities will change. Shibuki has the player fight over a flooded area and gather points from defeated generals and soldiers.
 * The Self-History Mode presents automated scenarios for the player to finish, forcing them to fight for their survival. Within this mode, players can also create their own history through various achievements.
 * The Wii version of the game allows multiplayer options in the Murasame Castle mode.

Players who have the original game on the Wii can import their save data to the Xtreme Legends version with a Mixjoy method. Playstation 3 buyers will have to replay the game from the beginning since Samurai Warriors 3 Z is technically considered a unique title.
