Hyrule Warriors (The Minish Cap Trick On Switch)

Well, maybe you're right, just so long as they don't get anywhere near... Hey, Team Ninja, what are you- Not there, that's the Character Design Room- You come away from there right-



(sighs) Goddamnit Team Ninja.

Just seen the screenshots on NL, Link looks pretty cool though. Seems the female villain is umm not sure what to say she's got more clothes then Rachael.

TN were good at making action games but have gone down a little down hill with the past few Ninja Gaiden's which is all since Itagaki left.

The info I posted say's multiple playable characters which includes Link and Impa, who else do you think we could play as I gather Zelda/Sheik is out looking at the plot. Gannon maybe in a similar way Bowser & Mario help each other in Super Mario RPG, Groose maybe but can't really think of any more standout characters we could play as apart from a random Goron.

I don't think the story would be intertwined in that way if Gannon/dorf was playable as the warriors games usually had branching stories where leaders of each army would then clash at a certain point, I listened to the gamexplain discussion about this last night & they pointed out that this chap:



looks like Volvagia in human form.

Was thinking almost the same as there's another character which looks a bit like vaati and vivi from FFIX crossed together, could also be a general with the witch being the leader of them.

There's a new website opened. http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/zelda/introduction.html

Streetsahead, a Japanese contact of mine, translated the character bios. Seems the boobed one (known as Shia) is a bit of a Yandere, which is quite interesting for a Zelda game. I can already imagine the cosplay....

Quote :

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.

What do you know, there's actually a bit of reasoning behind that stupid costume.

So, Nintendo Europe tweeted about this today, proving that Hyrule Warriors is actually the title. Here's a logo.



And here's a website. http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/8yAfhMHGxHAyS8paJmVjQVK0mI9BUl-G

Oh, and for some reason, Shia is called Cia over here. Quite excited for this. Didn't expect to get English information about this title so soon.

The Japanese logo is the same but says ZELDA in red instead of Hyrule. I think it's a good name, what else could it be called really.

More I of it more I'm excited for it, I hope we get September time maybe.

It's an interesting choice not to have the word 'Zelda' in the title, isn't it? You'd suggest it would sell more if it did.

Link's Crossbow Training didn't do too badly, despite not having "Zelda" in the title- Wikipedia has it down at 4.8 million sales- only 1 million behind Twilight Princess, and 1.3 more than Skyward Sword.

I'd probably put that down to it being bundled with a peripheral.

I'm actually really excited for this. I'm just getting into the Dynasty Warriors games, along with reading the RotTK, so this should be even more fun for being set in a world I already really know and love.
I still think Westeros Warriors has to happen some day.

I... I want this.

It's just that in the big feature Joe Skrebels did on the series, the developers were taking about the fact that they haven't found a book to adapt which has the same pull in the west as the romance has in the east and I thought it was a no-brainer.

Had to look up what Westeros was.   

This is looking good from the stream shown on Treehouse.

Balla, you shouldve stayed. Amazing display of Midna.

Saw a little bit of that, and yes she did look good.

Welcome to my shitty fucking world.

What I saw of this looked great! Heard early reports of the framerate being iffy, but a) those same reports mentioned it's probably the fact they went from playing silky smooth 60fps Smash Bros. to this and b) I imagine any issues like that will be mostly ironed out come release.

Didn't they say you could play as most favorite characters from the series? In this case I want Salvador the cannon mini-game man from windwaker 'Ka-sploooosh!'

We all know who's going to be the real star of the game.

You haven't played Dynasty Warriors before have you?

Aye, look forward to pop-in, then pop-out, then pop-in.
