Ninety-Nine Nights II to get Euro release

By Oli Welsh Published 17 February, 2010

Konami signs crowd brawler, targets spring.

Konami has announced that it will publish Xbox 360 action game Ninety-Nine Nights II in Europe this spring.

The sequel to Microsoft and Q Entertainment's 360 launch title was already confirmed for a Japanese release (also in spring) but this is the first news that it will be making its way West.

A fantasy "crowd melee" game in the Dynasty Warriors vein, Ninety-Nine Nights II pits the player against waves of hundreds of enemies at a time. You'll be able to combo through the masses and play through its story from five different perspectives - including humans, elves and goblins - and each race also has particular skills in battle.

The game also features two-player online co-op with online leaderboards. Check outnew screens and Tokyo Game Show trailer below to see Ninety-Nine Nights II in action.

    I quite liked the first one, although my fingers and pad didn't :D

    Phew, for a second there I thought I was going to run out of Dynasty Warriors games to play!

    It will be interesting to see what they have done from the tech perspective since the first game as I still think the first game is pretty impressive when you see several hundred orcs come storming over a hill at you. Of course this was several hundred identical orcs but it was still dam impressive to realise they were throwing that many enemies at you.

    The story structure was also a high light of the first game being able to play through the same story from multiple angles.

    If you have the thumbs for it I would strongly recomend picking up the first one as it must be very cheap these days.

    I hope they've worked on the in game camera, it was one of the worst I've ever come across.

    I found crowd fighting more fun in EDF than Dynasty Warriors, maybe crowds just feel more like crowds if you know that every individual enemy in that crowd poses a real threat (and on higher difficulty a massive one). In DW the "enemies" are more like targets and the whole crowd was more a bunch of things you had to hit to damage the area you are in and the threat came more from enemy heroes that kill you really fast or friendly heroes that love to get themselves killed and cause you to fail the mission.

    This could be very good:)

    The problem with these games is that arcade button mashing becomes to samey and boring!...They need a deeper depth and strategy to fighting to keep the game exciting.

    Could be allright, or it could be yet another game that thinks it can do Dynasty Warriors style gameplay better than Koei (because lets face it, it doesnt seem like a particularly tall order), but ends up failing spectacularly.

    Still, Samurai Warriors 3 is supposedly coming to PS360, so you'll have that to fall back on.

    Makes me think of Kameo, charging my horse into a field of a hundred orcs.

    God, I miss that game. One of the best launch titles there was.
