Release date: 2006-04-20 (Japan).
All sorts of scans and vids can be found over at xboxyde for those of you that haven't kept up. Here's the official site too.
Can't wait, I hope it kicks the shit out Koei's efforts.

Has this been annouced for US release? When previewed at the game shows last year, I was really interested in the concept of being forced to switch and play as your enemy on the fly.
I'm sure it will see a relase date soon for US and EU. The game cost something like 15 million to make if I'm not mistaken. No way are they gonna make that back in Japan only. But I guess it's too much to hope for a region-free game with english subs.Quote:

Really? I haven't kept up-to-date with the lists, but several of the US versions aren't locked. Odd.Quote:

It was supposed to be a japanese launch title, with a delayed launch in the US to add Live support. But that was according to IGN, and it didn't make Jap launch, so who knows.
Demo to be released on the first of march on xbox live market place.
edit: Site mentions that it's a pre-order deal but some dude on another forum said it was showing up on live too.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll keep an eye out.
