Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Originally released for the Japanese PC in September
2007, Koei's latest Nobunaga no Yabou
game reaches the PS2 and Wii this week. As the game
opens up, the influence of the West has begun to
exert its pull on the affairs of Japan. The British,
the Dutch, the Portuguese, and the Spaniards have
brought technology as well as military might to the
shores of Nihon. Whereas the armies of Japan once
relied on swords and melee weapons of every sort,
firearms changed the entire face of war. A properly
equipped battalion armed with sufficient firepower
would be able to mow down much larger armies
equipped only with conventional arms.
Similar to previous games in the Nobunaga no Yabou series, players
take control of a territory and use resource
management, military savvy, and interpersonal skills
to maintain an overlord's grip on the kingdom. To
secure secret information, ninjas may be sent out to
scout enemy strongholds while a core group of loyal
generals must be maintained to control the troops.
The game starts off slowly at first as buildings are
constructed, alliances are made, and resources are
marshaled. When the Western powers make their move,
he who barters for their guns first gains an upper
hand over all neighboring powers in a phenomenon
known as "first mover advantage."
Famous battles recreated in the game include
» Battle of Sekigahara
» Battle of Shizugatake
»
Battles
of Kawanakajima

Game Notes
»
The intro
to the game starts off with majestic music and a
view of Japan as the camera homes in on grid-laced
topography which eventually becomes rendered. Next,
the roar of crowds may be heard as two armies clash
on the battlefield. Scenes of war follow along with
images of the dead and their fallen horses. Nobunaga
makes an appearance and aims a musket at something
in the distance before putting it down. He waves his
cape which causes some sort of air turbulence which
closes out the short cinema.

The
nunchuk is used to move the pointer around the map
while the "A" button on the Wiimote activates
commands. The "B" button cancels a command. To
quickly jump to different strongholds in your
territory, press the "+" or "-" button on the
Wiimote. When moving around the map with the Nunchuk,
you can speed up the velocity of the scrolling by
holding down on the B button.

To view
an overview map of Japan, press the "C" button and
select the left option on the dialog box that
appears. A map will then appear which shows all of
the major forces and the locations of their bastions
and castles.

To
rotate the world map to your liking, press and
holding the "Z" button and then rotate the
topography by moving the analog stick on the nunchuk
to the left or right. To zoom in on the map, hold
"Z" and then push up on the nunchuk analog pad.
