Just moments ago on Koei's official site for Sengoku Musou Katana, the slash-tastic Wii game based on the Dynasty Warriors franchise, a new trailer was uploaded.
The promotional video shows a lot of gameplay, including rifle-targeting and horse-riding, apart from the Wii remote-controlled swordplay. Upon close inspection of the trailer, it seems the levels have mission-based structures to them, such as "Defeat 100 soldiers within 3 minutes," and "Beat the race on horseback," etc. Also, the game uses a targetting-system for your sword attacks, to create chains of attacks.
All in all, Koei's Wii entry into the franchise, set to be released in Japan September 20th, looks like a lot of mindless button-slashing (err, is that the new-gen version of button-mashing?), and though they've milked the franchise for years, it still manages to find an audience.
