The screenshots themselves look nice and clean actually, so i'm happy with this. May even be the first Musou game I buy.

 

[Yawnier]

This looks terrible. Couldn't they have picked a more competent developer to collaborate with? When was the last time Tecmo Koei made a good game?

If you were to ask me I would say Dynasty Warriors 8 in July, but if you're not a fan of the Musou series then you would have to back further.

 

[Trago]

Next Level Games?

Monster Games?

I'm guessing they don't count for [reason] though.

True, but I was talking about collaborations with the big publishers in the west, since they wont port much to Wii U.

 

[MikeE21286]

What a great use of the Zelda IP into a spin-off series.

Will definitely buy.

 

[Ivan el Trolazo]

just hoping for 60fps and local coop tv+gamepad...

 

[blast processed]

At first I thought, WTF! Then, the more I thought about it and watched it again, now I'm excited.

 

[borghe]

I like the DW games but I'm just sort of indifferent towards this. Between the active platforms there are literally like a dozen other options to get your Musou fix. This seems like the worst possible choice for a collaboration that will get people excited and attracted to Wii U for that very reason.

"Dozen" of proper musou fix?

DW
Gundam
Samurai (defunct?)
One Piece (PS3 only)
FOTN
Orochi

Further, it looks like the series' availability outside of a Sony platform looks sketchy at best (looking like going forward only the proper series is making it to MS?). So at the least it's another option, and at the most it gives a musou option on a Nintendo platform, and a new musou game on a non-Sony platform.

Overall it's a clear win. And it's unlikely to be taking massive resources away from Tecmo or any away from Nintendo.

2 Studios? and they're developing games in already existant ips....

 

[Powerwing]

Mark me interested but i hope they'll improve the graphix because the game seems very rough.

 

[Always-honest]

That looks really horrible imo. Atrocious art-direction too.

Damn, why not do this good if you have the chance?

 

[MikeE21286]

That trailer doesn't look at all like 60FPS. Actually there are some noticeable drops.

I'd pray for a stable 30 myself.

 

[D_prOdigy]

True, but I was talking about collaborations with the big publishers in the west

and they're developing games in already existant ips....

Silly old me.

 

[Linkhero1]

Looks a bit rough. I've always wanted a Zelda game to play like Dynasty Warriors. I'm just glad it's a spin-off and not another Other M.

 

[Mrbob]

Awwwwww yiiiiisssss. Day negative one. My only concern is lack of longevity without a bunch of characters to use.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I think it would've been cooler if they included all the different incarnations of Link with their own power-set, like Four Swords Link being able to multiply, and Twilight Link being able to use his wolf form...

 

[afoni]

This was actually the first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer. It makes sense given the design of the enemies in the trailer.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Nintendo sure loves Tecmo-Koei.

 

[Hanmik]

That looks really horrible imo. Atrocious art-direction too.

Damn, why not do this good if you have the chance?

up next... Dynasty Warios.

 

[Chindogg]

Silly old me.

A common theme in Nintendo threads lately.

 

[Shaanyboi]

...Fuck it.

I like Link's design. And his weapons.

I don't care about Dynasty Warriors though. Maybe this game will be... slightly more interesting.

 

[RoombaDance]

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.

But Retro can make better than mindless hack and slash games.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

Do not want.

 

[Sora2k7]

before this announcement I was sure that I will never buy a wii U now I know I'm going to buy this DAY ONE!!! HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bequietdrive]

Are Nintendo ever gonna collaborate with western third party developers?

I dream of a western Metroid collaboration.

 

[Castef]

Hey, Ninty.

What about Nippon Ichi for the next cooperation?

 

[Mugiwara]

True, but I was talking about collaborations with the big publishers in the west, since they wont port much to Wii U.

Which of the big publishers in the West want to even touch Wii U? None.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I think this looks cool but I also don't hate Musou games.

 

[Technosteve]

so how long till zelda x dark souls?

 

[Timeaisis]

Definitely buy. I don't care about reviews.

I hope I can play as other characters, too.

 

[masterlobo]

But Retro can make better than mindless hack and slash games.

Maybe Nintendo's desperation will open the path for more experiments, such as finally accepting Retro's idea.

Who knows.

 

[TheZjman]

Finally, a Zelda title that will sell well in Japan.

 

[Big_Al]

Came in expecting a lot "this looks terrible" posts and do not leave disappointed.

Have a real soft spot for musou games as they're fun as hell to play. Looking forward to this. It'll do VERY well in Japan as well I reckon.

 

[Colocho]

Talk about jumping the shark.

 

[Trago]

Silly old me.

As in, Nintendo should collaborate with the third party developers who wont port their existing games to Wii U.

Like a Bethesda/Nintendo collaboration or something.

Well there is also DW/Orochi games on 3DS, Wii and Wii u. Like I said I don't think it's a terrible idea, just that it's sort of indifferent. I'd like to see some stuff out of Nintendo that is more exciting. To your point about it not taking up a lot it resources, I think that's the problem for me. It doesn't seem like it's something that requires a lot of effort.

 

[Sora2k7]

up next... Dynasty Warios.

LOL

 

[Zoolader]

That looks really horrible imo. Atrocious art-direction too.

Damn, why not do this good if you have the chance?

Especially the decision to use those stupid red mobilins, one of the worst character designs in any Zelda game.

 

[Crub]

Anyone noticed the weird enemy popup at 0:36? :s

 

[MYE]

This is weird.

Never played a musou type game. hmmm

Now we can get the voice acting everyone has been asking for.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Guys... I just saw this. Holy shit balls...

:O

 

[spekkeh]

For Wii U from Tecmo Koei.

I like that they have a girl version of Link for a change.

 

[Always-honest]

ugh.. the longer i look at it. It looks really disgusting. The colours, the artwork. the environments.
I'll pass.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Anyone noticed the weird enemy popup at 0:36? :s

new to Musou?

 

[Herne]

Not my thing at all, but I imagine a lot of people would like this. It mustn't have been in development for very long because the graphics are pretty poor at this stage, they have that early look.

Why give Link a cape, I wonder?

 

[Minions]

That is slightly disappointing. I just hope they don't do to Zelda what they have been doing with the Mario IP. I'd have prefered a "stategy" zelda to this action oriented one... even if it was just a puzzle game. I will pick this up for cheap some time down the line though.

 

[Trago]

Which of the big publishers in the West want to even touch Wii U? None.

If they wont port their games to Wii U, I'm sure they would more likely accept developing a Nintendo funded and published game from them.

They're doing it with Japanese publishers, why can't the same be done in the west?

 

[PSGames]

this looks sooo freaking amazing! Will probably be my GOTY 2014

 

[BrainZEROX]

A fart on the megaton scale :-/

Well. At least it's a third party effort and Nintendo will not spend a dev on that.

 

[lo zaffo]

It seems to me that it is made out of GameCube dead code, whether somebody may suggest it could be sort of PlayStation2 resources emulation output.
Not the best showcase for Wii U.
Not much impressed.
