Edit:

From GameInformer, via NinEverything:

“The Adventure Mode features a ‘Network Link’ feature. This allows you to add a ‘Link’ to your maps whose level is based on other users’ play data. If you come to this Link’s aid and fight alongside him, you’ll get access to special bonuses.”

From there: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/software/bwpj/index.html

Purchase of additional content
Automatic posting of play status to Miiverse
Play special battle in adventure mode

By the way, game is 7.8GB, and you can only make 1 save data (though each user get one, I believe).

Mauricio_Magus · Jul 31, 2014

Hopefully you can play everything online, this could make me buy the game day 1.

PontyfaxJr · Jul 31, 2014

Can I assume this is multiplayer and get excited or is that a little premature?
It's probably some high score thing tied into that Zelda 1 map mode or something.

I won't get my hopes up.

They're already up

Kouriozan · Jul 31, 2014

YES, FINALLY

Volotaire · Jul 31, 2014

And there seems to be micro-transactions or paid DLC, if that wasn't known already.

tonyh24613 · Jul 31, 2014

But co-op is still unconfirm. :/

Costumes DLC, they announced quite a lot of those.

We always knew the TP, SS, and OoT costumes would be sold post release.

Do you have a possible link to the story?

The ultimate DLC incoming.

Tecmo Koei does what Nintendon't!

EDIT: I see that they're known as Koei Tecmo now. Okay, so they do what Nintendoesn't!

mclem · Jul 31, 2014

"Special battle" suggests to me that there's something distinct for the online battle - probably smaller-scale with fewer NPCs, perhaps.

KingSnake · Jul 31, 2014

So this talks about a special online MP mode.

Yup, it's there to tell us the main story mode isn't playable online, but there's special missions for that.

JoeM86 · Jul 31, 2014

Excellent. I am hyped!

Which is weird as the Warriors game already on Wii U (Warriors Orochi 3 and Fist of the North Star) have the regular online mode of other versions.

Piston Hyundai · Jul 31, 2014

Hopefully "Special" isn't code for "ultimately underwhelming."

munchie64 · Jul 31, 2014

Best case scenario: "Special battle" is just the free play mode where you can select anyone. Only the actual story isn't playable.

Worst case scenario: Multiplayer minigames.

You must have meant the costume dlc.

DaSorcerer7 · Jul 31, 2014

ShockingAl will be pleased.

Bjoern the Smexy · Jul 31, 2014

Jimmies rustled. VERY rustled.

Sammy Samusu · Jul 31, 2014

Hype back to 100%.

Waiting for details though.

Pretty sure it's basically the same stuff as the "Dream Mode" from Ken's Rage. Should be playable in SP too, and with all the villains.

nintendors · Jul 31, 2014

So no full coop story mode multiplayer ??

This makes me a sad Goron

Piers · Jul 31, 2014

'Special battle' and not 'Special battles'?
So I imagine it'll be a tiny arena to fight a small group of enemies and maybe a boss?

anotherVegan · Jul 31, 2014

But will there be online versus play with playable villains?

Mariolee · Jul 31, 2014

ShockingAlberto, where are you haha

MagiusNecros · Jul 31, 2014

Let's not jump to conclusions over vague product features.

To be fairs, it's translated from Japanese, so no idea if it's plural or not. Pretty sure it's battles.

Wow, aren't you pessimistic. Using words like "tiny", "small" and "a" as in singular.

Looking at the game it seems it will be more than that.

Werewolf Jones · Jul 31, 2014

Wasn't this known for a while though? Either way it makes it an easier decision to go for the purchase along with Bayonetta 2 a while later for that co-op.

Then what is this?

L~A · Jul 31, 2014

^ Yeah, local co-op was indeed confirmed ages ago.

XaeonBE · Jul 31, 2014

Great news!

tonyh24613 · Jul 31, 2014

LonelyGreyWolf said:

I should say online co-op to be more clear. :/

Beren the Empty-Handed · Jul 31, 2014

If you can do special maps co-op online, then I'll fight by your sides!

As Skull Kid.

emb · Jul 31, 2014

Yeah, we've heard about co op for a while. One player on the Gamepad + one on the TV is great. Exactly the way Wii U games should handle split screen.

Anyway, pretty cool if it actually has online play. I didn't expect it at all by this point.

Yeah that was the mode I was thinking of. Hoping for the best!

ShockingAlberto · Jul 31, 2014

Special adventure mode and not campaign co-op? So they're going back to how it was Gundam Musou 2? Why?

Fuck yes!

It's just getting better and better!

Well all Warriors game has voice chat implemented within it's system but Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper didn't have it on their system menu so... =/
They may have implemented it now or because Nintendo they still don't have it...

I'm going to presume opportunity cost. The game had a relatively short dev cycle, I guess they wanted to focus their man hours on other things.

How do you even know that?

Because reasons.

How long has Hyrule Warriors been in development?

From the original concepts and the original discussions, the very start has probably been about two years and then its probably been about a year and a half of actual development and working on the game.

For a game so jam packed with content, that's not really a long time. Something had to be compromised.

Other Warriors games come out on similar cycles, have more content, and regular online co-op.
