Hyrule Warriors : official website opens, new screenshots/artworks



Well there you have it!

Classic muckraker! Always gotta stir up some non-Microsoft-related controversy!

I bet the majority of Team Ninja / Omega Force releases also containing at least one (usually more) scantily-clad woman were just dripping with Kuchera's well-reasoned logic within appropriate and sensible criticisms!

Oh wait...

and don't forget that this is the first and only and last female villain in a Zelda game having boobs clearly visible too!

Sarcasm?

This game looks great, hopefully it's not just Zelda blinders.

I don't get the boobs drama. It would be different if every charcter was over sexualized, but it's not so far. And why is Ben acting like every game doesn't have some form of over sexualization.

Seriously those are fairly tame boobs even by Zelda standard... I don't really see how you could get offended.

Well there you have it!

Because everyone over 12 years hates boobs? Or what?

And what this even suppose to mean? Isn't Nintendo for kids anyway? So who does this alienate anyhow?

I need a Polygon graph™ to understand this better.

That's because WoW was designed to have a ton of people everywhere (wide pathways and open areas and the like) and this needs the same sort of design for all of the enemies.

I mean more in the art style, but you're right on that count, too. I think that definitely influences the architecture in both, so that's most likely a contributing factor into what's going on in my brain.
 
I'm loving the look of everything! just wondering what're the chances of the clock etc being released in the west, so tempted to buy it now..

I'd say pretty high. We'll surely get SOME sort of collector's edition. Games that aren't planned to sell high (Koei is only betting on a million world wide) almost always have limited physical editions to make up more of the cost of the game.

Can't wait to hear how he feels about Bayonetta 2.
 
I seriously don't understand everyone's obsession with the boobs. Kuchera's, this forum's, anybody's.

Like, this is so par for the course for Musou games that I don't even bat an eye at it. This is a WELL-RESPECTED AND LONG-RUNNING CHARACTER IN THE SERIES.

Oh and hey, Warriors Orochi 3 was just announced for another American re-release. Let's look at one of the villains from that game.

Da Ji, you so crazy.

Like, I get it. This character has big boobs and is essentially wearing paint that keeps them aloft. I could totally understand if this were the first game to do something like this. It's not even the first Zelda game to do something like this.

Everyone should stop obsessing over it. Them. Those.
 
Alright, my translations of the character profiles. They're a bit rough, please excuse any odd word choices. Let me know if you notice mistakes, though!
Link,The Hero; Link is an exceptionally strong soldier in the Royal Army of Hyrule. The power of the Triforce of Courage hides within. He is a kind individual who can speak with fairies and he has within him a strong sense of justify that makes hi firmly stands his ground against evil, even if they are stronger than he.

He mostly uses a nimble battle style that relies on footwork to mess with his opponents. In this game, he can make use of various weapons, but his main weapon will always be a speed-type sword.

Impa, Commanding Officer of the Hyrule Imperial Guard; Impa is the commanding officer of the Hyrule Imperial Guard. She is the attendant and vassal of the Princess Zelda. Leader of a family charged with supporting Hyrule's royal family from the shadows, she cares not for herself, and works exhaustively for the family and the Princess.

Starting from pulling out her long sword back handed, she disposes of her enemies with exact precision in quick, feverish succession. She is a sword master, with precise movements and footwork.

Shia, The Black Witch; An evil witch, who had her good soul chased out of her by dark forces. She has a strong sense of self, clearly states her desires, and a provocative and aggressive personality. She wants to make the whole world hers, but especially she wants to make Link hers.

Wizro, The Dark Sorcerer; A ring that increased its power over many centuries by luring in numerous owners and absorbing their powers, Wizro was reborn as a sorcerer with Shia's dark magic. It has pledged allegiance to Shia, who is effectively its mother, however, it has a tendency to follow those in power thanks to its many experiences.

Wizro will attack with magic pulses like bullets, or magic from up above.

Valga, The Incandescent Evil Warrior; Valga is a close associate of Shia's. He traded his good soul for incredible strength in a deal with her. Differing from Wizro, Valga will face you head on like a true soldier, believing he can win. He looks for strong opponents and 'heats up' any battle he is in.

With his lance, reminiscent of a dragon's claw, and a bellowing war cry he will come at you with heavy blows repeatedly.

EDIT: I disappear for 40 minutes to do some translations and Ben 'Math is hard guys, we did a lot of research. NeoGAF posts bad rumors.' Kuchera does his thing again.
 
Not really impressed by this at all, honestly. The characters look super generic, I'm not a huge fan of DW gameplay, and I'm certain it won't have a ton of depth to it or anything. I'll prob play it at some point because it's sure to be a great fan service game though.

<3 Da Ji.

Now I want to play WO3 again. I think I'll pick up Hyper on the Wii U.
