This is more like "KOEI @ Japan Expo" rather than the gathering. Yes, the Japan Expo was started and it's going to last until this Sunday. If you live in Paris, feel free to visit the KOEI booth in the Japan Expo this year. Not only you can get some items, you can meet the cosplayers and play some games as well.

We have some members here in KOEI Warriors are going to attend to the event as well. What we plan currently is to have a meet up, say "bonjour" and have some photos with Warriors Orochi 2 cosplayers, the Himikos! More information, check out the forum and see you guys on this Saturday!

Ne vous inquiètez pas, si vous ne savez pas parler en anglais, la plupart d'entre nous parlerons en français ici. Comme pour moi, j'ai appris quelques mots en français.

Thanks so much to meow for her wallpapers, it's amazing!! I've added all of them to the Warriors Orochi 2 section even though some of them seem a bit more fit to the Samurai Warriors 2 but since the Warriors Orochi 2 section is popular so no harm to put it there! ^^

Thanks to Mitsuhide-kojiro-Musashi and MaChao_Honda for spending so much time to develop this game. We really think it's a good game for the first time development (God, these 16-year-old kids are so talented *wish I can develop something like this too*)...

For us, this is good and we really appreciate what Mitsuhide-kojiro-Musashi and MaChao_Honda have done. As mentioned, it's the first time they did it so expect more better games to come soon. The game file is 14MB, remember to press F1 to check the information and key controls for the game. Any question, feel free to ask on the forum. :)
