One of the benefits of operating within our field is that it's much easier to keep an eye on the publishers/developers out there who aren't running multi-billion dollar advertising campaigns for their latest titles, and one such company we like to follow is Koei. Mostly this is due to its interesting direction and... insanity... which you're familiar with if you ever went through a Dynasty Warriors (or Bladestorm) game just to see if it actually ended (it didn't).

Today Koei has announced that its Samurai Warriors: Katana, developed by Omega Force, is now available for the Wii. SW: Katana appears to feature the simplistic yet competitive gameplay that typical Koei releases embrace, so if you're a fan or if you ever wanted to try your hand at swinging swords via the Wii Remote and found Red Steel disappointing, here's something else to give a shot.

You can find some screenshots at the jump. Mission objectives should appear very familiar.

The game retails for $49.99 and is rated Teen.
