Odd Beans
While researching for this post, I googled "Samurai terms coffee" and was very surprised by the first result that popped up. Apparently, not only do samurai drink coffee, but they have their very own coffee company! It's the Country Samurai Coffee Company, based out of Hawaii.
If you are actually wondering how the company came up with its name, you can read that HERE.
Filtered Thoughts
I have not played Samurai Warriors 3, or any of the games from the series as a matter of fact. If you have never seen what the game-play is like, below is a trailer that should give you an idea of how Samurai Warriors 3's presentation is and give you an idea of how the game plays:
Now, you may be thinking, "Coffee, why a data report on Samurai Warriors 3?" Well, it was not one of the games I have been tracking on a weekly basis, and I didn't even see it when looking at older Wii games to do reports on recently.
No, the reason is really simple. A reader from GoNintendo.com left a comment on my SpongeBob post from yesterday that was posted over on GoNintendo earlier today, saying he wished he could see the data on Samurai Warriors 3 and another Wii game.
When I saw his comment, it reminded me I had completely forgotten to track Samurai Warriors 3 last year after it released, so I decided to record the data and get the report together.
While SW3's "Total Hours" reported are not very high, I think the hours reported "Per person" show the Wii owners that played this game really enjoyed it and they have put a lot of time into it.
Also, I found the difference in the "professional" review score average and the Amazon.com customer reviews to be interesting, and I wonder if it was because the "professional" reviewers didn't put a lot of time into the game? I don't know.

If you have played Samurai Warriors 3, what do you think about the game? Is it a game you would recommend to other Wii owners that haven't given it a chance, and were perhaps turned off by the "professional" review scores for the game?
Also, if you have played all of the games from the Samurai Warriors series, which game from the series is your favorite?
