Hyrule Warriors Announced for Wii U
« on: December 18, 2013, 09:10:45 AM »

Dynasty Warriors and Zelda series are being combined in a new game from Tecmo Koei.

http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/36226

Zelda and Dynasty Warriors are being combined into an all new Wii U game.

Announced at today's Nintendo Direct the crossover, with the working title Hyrule Warriors, is due for a release in 2014. A trailer featured Link taking on hordes of enemies, and the design of Link was similar to Link in Skyward Sword. The game is being developed by Tecmo Koei in a collaboration with Nintendo. Iwata stressed this is not the new mainline Zelda game, but a spinoff.

I can't help thinking this is a slightly gibber announcement than Cranky Kong!
No idea what to make of this though. Seems like a very japan-centric title, I haven't heard anybody in a western market say anything good about the Samurai Warriors games since the PS2.
Is anyone here a big fan or thinking of picking this up? I am intrigued at the prospect of this game!

Techno Koie?

This is interesting. I like that Nintendo is collaborating with third parties more, even if they're just making Nintendo themed spin-offs. I think people will be interested if only for Link.

The Warriors/Musou games get shat on in most western circles (deservedly so). But I view an occasional one as a guilty pleasure and am interested in how this game turns out. Also, I thought the teaser looked pretty slick and neat!

Hmmm looks interesting. This is the kind of engine those One Piece games have been running on right? Looks early though. Probably something I won't bother with.
Nintendo players and One Piece readers, just better people.

The idea of you being badass slaughtering armies left and right sounds appealing, but i wish this and other Warriors games didn't look that janky.

I'm inclined to agree with you.  I usually buy a Dynasty warrior game once in a console generation for that mindless fun, and for the same reason I buy 1 Madden game a generation (they don't seem to change that much between entries in the series).
 
Depending on what kind of critical response this gets, I could be interested in this.

Yeah, this reminds me of right before that final fight with Ghrirahim, when you're descending down the pit against hordes of those goblin guys.   That was a lot of fun...for the 4 minutes that it lasted.   More than 4 minutes...now I'm not sure.

Oh yeah, I know I have 2 sealed copies of that game.   1 is for trading.  But people who collect Amiibos?  They really have a problem!

It reminds me of that too.

Or the Savage Labyrinth.
Or the Cave of Ordeals.

I'm tired out of Zelda for now. Totally not interested in this game.

A reskin of one of Japan's worst franchises from one of Japan's worst developers.  Yeah, this is going to end well.  :-\   Well, I hope you guys who enjoy mashing the same attack button for 5 hours straight to kill the same mobs of 500 enemies over and over again enjoy it.

Does anyone really expect more from a team whose regular Dynasty Warriors games still look like PS2 games?

If Tecmo Koei keeps making these games, enough people must enjoy button mashing enough to make them worthwhile.

A lot of people liking something bad doesn't make it "good".

Infinite facepalm.

I didn't say "good." I said "worthwhile." You quoted me and still got that wrong...

And a lot of people clearly don't think it's bad if they keep buying these games.

Saying that something is "worthwhile" means that it has merit: that it is "good." I knew what you wrote.

I don't think you did. Saying something is worthwhile isn't inherently a comment on its quality. In fact, I don't particularly like these kinds of games. However, enough people enjoy the genre and games for Tecmo Koei to keep making them. Otherwise, they wouldn't keep making them. That makes it worthwhile to me.

Despite your disingenuous comments, I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy this game, even if it just for Link.

I might get this. You need a little button mashing every now and then.  Good for the soul.

Just hope this doesn't mean Nitnendo is going to start whoring out the Zelda franchise.

I haven't looked at the pics yet, but maybe, just maybe Nintendo will jump in and add some polish to the gameplay and spruce up the graphics with a little insider coding knowledge. This is involving their second son franchise Zelda, so maybe they will take a little co-producer/dev credit and help make it better then usual.

I'm excited about this game. And nickmitch is right - (as long as you're a fan of the genre) everyone needs a good button masher every now and then. I adored the TMNT games on the 'Cube years ago. So, I'm eagerly looking forward to this.

The game has potential. Hope it is either discounted or heavily observed by Nintendo. Could be fun if they include multiplayer.
