Welcome to the official discussion thread for Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U!
To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
Through all the stories and all the timelines found in the Zelda series... nobody saw this coming. Koei Tecmo and Nintendo team up to take the Dynasty Warriors formula, toss in a lot of Zelda-franchise fan service, and blend that stuff together in a funky mish-mash of Zelda lore that only the Wind Fish could dream up. That game is called Hyrule Warriors. I was admittedly hesitant on this title upon first announcement. I had no idea what the Dynasty Warriors franchise was all about. I knew I loved Zelda. It wasn't until the excellent Nintendo Direct (embedded below) which sold me on the idea. I'm seeing a lot of reviews, which started coming in today, and they seem to agree that this isn't much of a Zelda game. I have to point out, the name borrows the Warriors from Dynasty Warriors and not Zelda. This alone helps me see what Koei Tecmo and Nintendo were aiming for. This isn't going to be a Zelda main-line game nor is it striving to be. For what it's goals are, and for what Nintendo has contributed to it, I'm pretty excited myself and now there's less than 10 days remaining. The game releases on September 26th, 2014. Fun Facts1.) Sends Link and 12 other playable characters from various Zelda universes into other universes. Mixing things up! 2.) Loaded with various locales, enemies, bosses, items, and music from throughout the Legend of Zelda series. 3.) Series offers plenty of DLC options (detailed below). 4.) Tons of combos and special moves for each character. 5.) 2-player Co-Op (though I hear it's pretty hard on the Wii U processing) 6.) Unique 'Adventure Mode' taking players back into the NES' The Legend of Zelda for a mix of challenges and adventure! (at least on the map) DLC OptionsAmazon.com - Buy from here an you'll get codes for Twilight Princess Costumes Best Buy - Buy from here an you'll get codes for Skyward Sword Costumes Gamestop - Buy from here an you'll get codes for The Ocarina of Time Costumes NOTE: While the Retailer-Specific DLC is day one, shortly after release all DLC will be available for purchase from Nintendo for presumably a small fee.

@DrFinkelstein How about my Smash Brothers example, do you think you'd feel okay with that as well? There have been three Nintendo examples that I've been okay with, which are NSMBU, Mario Kart 8, and Pikmin 3. In my view, NSMBU is the best game in the NSMB series and feels like plenty of care went into level design, so I'm okay with NSLU which is almost a different game in itself. Pikmin 3 also feels like a game that they put a lot of time and effort into, and went the extra mile with things like the mission mode and bingo battle. The extra missions they sell as DLC have a decent price and seem like something they may have thought up after release. As for Mario Kart 8... well, I actually do feel this game is a bit incomplete and unpolished, since it's missing battle arenas and some features from previous games, but, the actual DLC itself is reasonably priced for the content and packaged in a good way. The rest of Nintendo DLC is either overpriced or frivolous. Value is another subjective concept so I know that people have different perceptions on what they feel is a good value. |
