And so the discrepancy has continued on to this day, which is why Dynasty Warriors 9 is also actually Dynasty Warriors 8. So, that ended up being called Dynasty Warriors 3 over here. Unfortunately, this was already taken in the west. So, they just called that one Dynasty Warriors 2. When it came time to make a new entry in the series in Japan, they continued on with the 1 v 100 style mechanics we all know and love. So, in the west, they decided to do what was probably the sensible thing, and just call it Dynasty Warriors 2. And also, Shin Dynasty Warriors is an extremely different game to the first one. With the exception of The Real Housewives, it’s not a naming convention you see too often in western products. ![]() Perhaps because it changed the genre so dramatically, or that it was bringing the game from PS1 to PS2, they decided to call this one Shin Dynasty Warriors (真三國無双) - the kanji for “shin” here being for “true”. It’s the next game in the series that introduced what we all now know as Warriors-style gameplay. The musou 1 v 100 gameplay we all know and love from the series wasn’t present in the original game, which released on the first PlayStation. The reason for this difference lies all the way back in the series’ roots, with the PS1’s Dynasty Warriors and its follow-up Dynasty Warriors 2 for PS2. ![]()
