Sangokushi Taisen DS Website Online

Looks like Magic: The Gathering isn’t the only one making a killing out of cards and war. Sega released Sangokushi Taisen for the arcades last year, and it has grown to become a strong title among arcade fanatics in the East.

Based on the Warring States period made popular in Koei’s Dynasty Warriorsfranchise, Sangokushi Taisen is a hybrid card battle-board game that focuses on destroying your enemies’ castle using troops deployed from your card collection. It makes use of new card reading technologies developed for games, most notable in the arcade game World Club Champion Football. In this case, Sangokushi Taisen allows you to move your cards around the board to alter troop deployment and troop movement against your enemy.

Of course, if a good game gets famous in one field, there’s a good chance it’s going to see itself on another platform.

Sega’s upcoming Nintendo DS version of the popular arcade game has become more than official, with the unveiling of the Sangokushi Taisen DS website. While the site’s in Japanese, non-Japanese reading visitors of the site can figure out that their Nintendo’s Wi-fi system is going to play an important role in making this a worthy port of the arcade game.

We’re not sure how they’re going to work the card system from the arcades into the DS, but they might just include a link-up to the arcade games to move your cards into the DS game. It’s definitely bound to be an exciting time for card game and DS enthusiasts in Japan, and if the US and Europe gamers are lucky, they might just see some Sangokushi action themselves. In the meantime, you can check out the Japanese DS website for more.
