Possibly the most human-looking NPC in that game.

Nintendo obviously just discovered Depth of Field based on how thickly they're putting it all over the place.

Hmm...

Hyrule Warriors (Wii U, 2014)



Dynasty Warriors 8 (PS3, 2013)

[Shaka Khan]

Wow, desperate Nintendo is getting kinda stupid.

AssCreed 6 U to be set in Hyrule, confirmed.

wii u having assassins creed 6 is wishful thinking.

The minute I hit post I realized the absurdity of it.

Typical fucking nintendo sticking their 2/3 chars into every fucking game.

Make room for a real man, Link.

That's one fucked-up looking photoshop, but it still looks better than the actual game.

I had to use the "Blur" filter on the Cranky Kong elements to make them match the picture better.

Anyone else notice that Link's face stays creepily static throughout that video?

Link also looks more feminine than usual.

[bork]

Cant get over how bad this game looks. Its like a Morrowind mod is all Musou trash this ugly?

None of them are visual masterpieces, but it's understandable given the large amount of enemies on screen and all the shit that's usually going on.

Hell, here's Dynasty Warriors 8 for PS4.  It's nothing mind-blowing.



  But other more recent musou games definitely look better than this Zelda game does.  Plus for Koei's first attempt at porting a musou to Wii U -Warriors Orochi 2 Hyper- they had to cut out some detail and lower the framerate.  Maybe they lowered the detail levels even more to get a better framerate.

[bork]

Something else that was pointed out- musou games are usually filled with character dialogue.  Is Link going to talk?

[Bebpo]

Yeah, I wonder how story-based it'll be.  I'd totally be done for a fleshed out story mode telling some crazy Hyrule crossover story where all the Links meet and fight Ganon & Crew.

Graphically I'll give it a pass because the cartoony style looks great imo.  If it plays well like Gundam Musou 3 or the good DW/SW/Orochi games, I'm actually going to pick this up.  Hopefully it plays better than OP Musou & FoTNS musou which are a bit shallow.

[The Sceneman]

I dont get all this Cranky Kong stuff. What did I miss?

[benjipwns]

Only the biggest announcement in gaming history. But don't worry, you'll find out when you pick up Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on February 21st.

Only on Nintendo. PLAY IT LOUD.

[brob]

Link always rolls with a fairy that has mouth diarrhea. Maybe his talking sword makes a return as well....

Cranky Kong being playable was the "big announcement" at the VGX.

[radioheadrule83]

Dialogue will make this the Other M of Zelda games, I'm looking forward to how bad it is. I think the game will be fun though..

NES Remix is awesome. They should do a Gameboy Remix for 3DS or something.

[DCharlieJP]

Zelda is a huge franchise (ummm....)
and
Musou games do huge numbers

therefore

NINTENDO GOT GOLD ON THEIR HANDS!


lol

Unless they do something to completely deviate from the musou formula, this game is not going to be another "Other M".  But it is kinda funny that Tecmo-Koei is responsible for both games.

i told you link looks more feminine than usual http://kotaku.com/sorry-tv-host-that-is-not-zelda-1486780145

Dark Souls 2 producer when asked about the Wii U:

Asked whether From Software and Namco ever considered a Wii U port, Miyazoe bluntly replies: “No.” When asked why, he explodes with laughter. “Wii U never came up, and we never doubted that (decision) either,” he says. “It was more of a company decision, so I wasn’t the one that decided this, but I think the audience for the Wii U is a lot different from the audience for Dark Souls.”

Link to Wii U part in video interview with producer:

[radioheadrule83]

The best / worst reaction is when they laugh From Software are probably right with their analysis of the overall audience. I'd buy Wii U Dark Souls myself and I think there's a gap in the Nintendo market for something with that freedom and difficulty - but I was always expecting to get DSII on another platform.

Wii U GamePad extended battery now available in the US.

[Shaka Khan]

Getting that ASAP. I'm still waiting for good deals on Pro controllers.

I feel like I've asked this before, but do Pro Controllers function as Classic controllers for Wii mode/games?

[AdmiralViscen]

Nope, which is why I haven't bought any and I won't be transferring my Wii stuff onto the Wii U

[Human Snorenado]

The Nintendo Difference: Please Understand!

[Shaka Khan]

Fuck. I wanna play Xenoblade during the break and the Wiimote controls sucks Andrex balls. I guess I'm gonna try a good deal on both, possibly dingy used one.

[demi]

You dont use waggle with Xenoblade. You should be fine.

[Joe Molotov]

Buy a Wii Classic Controller Pro, Shaka.

[Positive Touch]

if you need to borrow a wiimote ive got a few laying around

[Tasty]

How do you not have a Classic Controller?

Also Best Buy's had the white Pro Controller at half off ($20) a couple times this year, that's how I got mine.

[Himu]

I am not supporting Hyrule Warriors.

Me neither.

I don't know about that. If Iwata isn't forced out by the shareholders, I could really see him riding the Wii U bomb to 2016.

[Trent Dole]

Great now I'm envisioning Iwata riding a Weeeooo in a strangelovian fashion.

The Pro controller isn't going to help him play Xenoblade.

[Rahxephon91]

Both controllers have pros and cons with Xenoblade if I remember. I just don't remember what they were. Either way, I only played with the Wii mote/nunchuck and did'nt really have a problem.

No duh. I'm just talking if he wants one in general.

Nintendo will let it ride until 2016-2017 anyway.  What they will do is do what they did to the Gamecube after 2003 when Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, and a $99 price point did jack shit for them.  While Nintendo didn't cancel the Gamecube, it was basically B/C level crapola (except for the awesome Paper Mario game) here and there.  The upside is that the Gamecube could theoretically thrive because it got multiplatform efforts since the power was comparable to PS2 and Xbox.  They won't have that luxury so they will either cut bait and let the system fend for itself, be stuck pumping out more Mario games (the likely scenario in my mind) to keep the sales from crashing and burning, or we might see some interesting attempts by Nintendo to try to bring in gamers (the least likely scenario).

[AdmiralViscen]

maybe we will get Mario in NBA 2k

[demi]

I'm curious why Nintendo does not tell me to take a break every 15 minutes like on 3DS. Instead, I am asked to post on Miiverse every time I finish a level.

[mjemirzian]

I guess I'll pick up a Wii U whenever Bayo 2 drops next year.

Expecting another platinum bomba, although not as bad as W101. :'(

[demi]

Wonderful 101 is $30 at Target (bring cash) and GameStop right now.
