Hyrule Warriors

Recommended Posts

 

Satoru Iwata announced a brand new title during today's Nintendo Direct - Hyrule Warriors.

 

The new game is not the next title in the main Zelda series, that is coming separately, but it is a hack and slash title that combines the Zelda series with the Dynasty Warriors franchise.

 

It is being developed Temco Koei and while the game is being called Hyrule Warriors at this stage, Iwata did point out that it is a temporary title.

 

Not much else is known about the Wii U bound title yet, other than a vague 2014 launch date, but you can watch the unveiling trailer below.

 

Thoughts?

I missed the introduction so was initially excited as I thought it was the unveiling of the next proper Legend of Zelda game, only to think that it looked a bit poor compared to what I expected.. and then when I saw so many enemies on screen, I wondered what was going on.. then I realised it was a spin off :hmm: I've never been interested in Dynasty Warriors, but the Zelda connection may make me keep an eye on this..

I liked crossbow training :)

 

As an additional game for a 3rd party to work on I don't see the problem, though surely this means proper Zelda has no chance of this year now.

 

I've always said Nintendo shouldbe more generous with their ip with 3rd parties - it's always a huge success (punch out in fight night, soul caliber 2 etc) the sonic dlc will make the game have a huge boost in sales I'm sure, and this makes dynasty warriors infinitely more appealing. Do it more Nintendo. More games released, maybe some minor franchises getting attention, and leaves Nintendo to focus on the bigger games, or, dare we think, new ip.

Let us not forget Pokken :D

Those are either bullshots or from a more advanced build than the (I assume hastily thrown together) trailer. Watching it just now on the Wii U, there was none of that depth of field and the textures look way worse. Crazy that the framerate is so bad too. I believe the Warriors Orochi 3 port had similar issues. Better really if they built a new Wii U engine from scratch with Nintendo's help.

I've always had a soft spot for Dynasty Warriors, so I'm sure I'll have some good, mindless fun with this game. Link's additional clothing and armour reminds me of the Link that appeared in the Skyward Sword prequel manga, so it'll be interesting to see if there's a connection. Also hope that we get to play as more than just Link. Gimme Zelda, Gorons, the lot!

 

... On another note, I'm going to assume that depending on how closely this game follows the Dynasty Warriors formula, this game might have voice acting.

 

Y... Yaaaaay...?

Looks absolutely glorious. Obviously an early build which explains the random spawning of soldiers and bokoblins throughout, but the graphics are sharp, gameplay looks fun...that's all I need :)

 

You've been spending too much time smoking Bellsprout's stun-spore, brah. It looks very basic.

 

It's very early and it could be decent when finished. But, gah, the depressing thing for me is that there are a field full of enemies who don't seem to attack or react to Link being there (except by looking at him). I wonder if Nintendo should have kept this under wraps, just released screens and waited until it was a bit smarter looking before showing off any more.
