Sengoku BASARA 3 Utage
Sengoku BASARA 3 Utage is a light-hearted expansion to the original darker game, and was released for PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii on November 11, 2011 only in Japan. The subtitle means "party" in Japan. While it keeps the same background and general information about the time period as in Sengoku BASARA 3, some of the eight new stories only marginally reference the plot introduced in the previous game. Save data can be synced with Sengoku BASARA 3 Utage. If they have been unlocked, alternate costumes and personal items are brought over.
