Hyrule Warriors (Zelda Musou) (Zelda Dynasty Warriors) announced

If I ever post something in Japanese which I don't understand, please BAN me.
At the very least, Link is left handed again.

I wish he was right handed, color me weird but i always hated left handed characters, same for Counter-Strike, i can't fucking play the game like this.

There is just something about it that really bugs me.

Because it has a Zelda skin? Some people must be trippin. Looks like a HD upgrade of some PS2 game.

I am shocked that such an amateur and bad looking game can get this type of reaction.

The power of motion blur and a heavy-handed depth of field.

I woke up and watched Nintendo Direct, wondered if i was still dreaming. One of the shittiest franchises in gaming gets a zelda version, oh hurrah.

And then Reggie shilling wait-and-play mechanics in Bravely Default....this was an awful direct.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Is it wrong that those shots make me kinda want a Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Zelda?

This is really dissapointing for me, since Zelda is the only Nintendo IP that is a system seller for me, so this news definitiely means that this game will be released in 2014, which in turn would translate into the proper Zelda Wii U not coming out until 2015.

I highly doubt the next proper zelda installment would come out 2014 anyway.

bad gameplay lol
Do you think Zelda is as strong as any of those anime/manga franchises in Japan.

Of course not. But there's a large enough fanbase for musou games in general over in Japan, a fanbase that buys musou games because they're musou games, not because of the franchise they're based on, that this will sell well enough to them. And even if only a small percentage of that audience gets interested in Zelda from that, then all the better for Nintendo.

Hell, I knew very little about Gundam, One Piece, or Fist of the North Star before buying their musou games, and now I'm interested in all three franchises.

I'll give it a shot.
Might be fun if they include
online
Co-Op.

I wonder what all the other Hyrule Warriors are.
Give me a fat Impa from Oracles plx.
 
Hopefully the online coop is smooth, assuming there is some. It could be an interesting way to see what a Zelda game with more emphasis on combat and coop/multiplayer could be like. Even though this game isn't going to be much like a mainline Zelda title at all, I'll still keep an eye on it.

You just called double hookshots stupid.

Think about that for a minute.

Double Hookshots aren't exactly amazing either. I've always thought the hookshot was badass, but that entire dungeon was so... ugh. And even then, can you really say the control rod thing or the top were cool? So lame, especially compared with OoT and MM. I was so disappointed by TP I traded it in after being the game, and I have every original copy of the other Zelda games.

It looks on par or better than 360/PS3 Musou games. Not sure what the expectations are here. These games have to sacrifice some things to keep a solid frame rate while juggling dozens of enemies onscreen. Plus they aren't the most talented developers in the world. It looks like fun and the fanservice is there.

I can't believe there are so many graphics snobs commenting on a Wii U game.
 
Heh, no. That would be Raccoon City Musou.

Yeah, because this doesn't look like it's b-grade garbage from the guys that actually did make Dynasty Warriors...

I've seen Source engine mods look better than this.

Heavenly Swords pushes more characters on screen without looking like shit. All other Musou games look like shit because these Japanese devs are stuck in the past. Have you seen the Dynasty Warriors game shown for PS4? It looks like fucking garbage, and they are all like "we are pushing the PS4". Bullshit, Musou games look like shit not because of technical limitations, but from limitations of the devs.

They don't look good, they don't run well, and they always look AT LEAST a generation behind in terms of engine tech.

This looks like it will be the poorest received Zelda game published by Nintendo, if only because the Warriors series has been one of the most stagnant in gaming.

What's up with that Link, anyway? It looks like it has a soft, clean look ala Skyward Sword, but that Link was right-handed.

I'm only disappointed by the fact that Nintendo declined Retro's Sheik game, but are approving of this. I'm sure Retro would have made a better hack'n slash title.

Anyway, the Warrior titles are good fun and I'm sure this one will be too. Even if it's damn ugly.

May I have a cookie?
What are the chances this supports motion plus and is basically the equivalent of Zangeki no Reginleiv for Wii U?

That would sell me the system right there.

It's funny as well because some of the best dynasty warriors have come out actually recently........Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2&3 and the newest dynasty warriors were some of the best of the series by far.

I don't buy DW games based on graphics and I won't start now they are just plain fun to play......and finally something I can look forward to dusting my WiiU off with.

It would also require more effort i'd imagine seeing as they can't just fill the screen with Moblins or Bokoboblins or whatever they were called in SS

That weapon triangle would mix things up a bit.

Magic beats all.

Well, they're making this because Nintendo don't have enough studio to release HD games and 3DS ones.
Expect at least another new collaboration game.

It's ok. You don't have to be ashamed.

I think it's a great way for Tecmo Koei to get new fans :p
 
I have to agree with him. Twilight Princess was a terrible Zelda game. Boring and forgettable, stupid dungeon items...

It's my third or fourth favorite game... It has better replayability than OoT.

Of course, I also count Wind Waker and Majora's Mask as my favorites in the series. I like good story and ambience in my Zelda games, Twilight Princess had it in spades.

So, I'm down for this Musou if it has a good story.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
This is strange, but makes sense: no support from third parties? Then, let's go with collaborations!

This makes me also hopeful for a brand new Pokémon x Nobunaga's Ambition for 3DS.

Nintendo really doesn't have clue what to do with these IP anymore huh ?
This particular 'remix' feels so creatively bankrupt.
