To be honest since it's a spinoff I really just want Hyrule Warriors to be ridiculous Zelda fan fiction where I can play as all the different Links and maybe Beedle/Groose/Tingle

You would think that Nintendo would have some sort of approval over stuff like this.

Well, yeah, but what I'm saying is that sometimes it's actually the people at the top who make these choices.

The thing about the Musou series, though, is that the more focused games have been the weakest. They've been doing these smaller games based on properties lately and none of them have been well received even among people who like the Musou games. I want Hyrule Warriors to be good, but I'd definitely hold back from getting it immediately.

Actually, to my knowledge only the first Fist of the North Star game was actually received poorly. The sequel improves in nearly every way, and both the One Piece games were very popular. If anything I'd say that One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 was more liked than Dynasty Warriors 7. I have no idea how the Gundam games were or how they did, but at a glance they only seem to be considered a touch worse than regular Musou games.

I thought that most people were very unhappy with the One Piece games. The Kamen Rider and St. Seiya games also weren't very popular.

Battalion Wars is reimagined as a gritty military sci-fi FPS. You have drones at your disposal and also all the levels are hallways. Mash "A" during a QTE to prevent yourself from being stabbed by a cyber-terrorist. Also your CO is actually the bad guy.

Both Fist of the North Star games are still slow, clunky, poorly made trash and Pirate Warriors 1 is a shameless prototype cash grab that never approached anything decent until they tore down half the game mechanics to make the sequel. Dynasty Warriors 7 is the current gold standard for Musou, hell even DW8 fails to beat it on multiple fronts.

In his defense at least that was the back-story for the Shadow Temple boss in Ocarina; who looking at this scan is totally going to be in the game as well.

Also if that lady is the purple ghost sister from the Forest Temple I hope she and her sisters fight the same way they did in Ocarina.

Since I don't speak Japanese and all, I imagine there's some flavour text on who those villains might be an their abilities, but based on the aesthetic alone, the dynamic ends up rather... curious.

I mean, one's a fiery warrior, armoured up and everything.

Then you have the femme fatale jester.

And then... hooded spiritual figure.

The first two fit fairly obvious archetypes, especially given anime trends for villain sets, but the third is... potentially more open. Depends on whether they would play up the ambiguous appearance for strange and exotic powers, or have it be hiding some monstrous 'true form' beneath (glowing red eyes and Zelda have a history and all).

What I find interesting is they don't seem to be sticking to just the obvious ninja route they could go with her. Seriously, that sword is some Bleach levels of oversized.

The Great Fairy in Twilight Princess was completely topless except for her hair that conveniently fell over her chest.



Changing the subject, I got to play the demo of Mario Kart 8. It handles well. They only had 8 tracks and there were mostly "simple tracks" so I didn't get to try anything neat like Rainbow Road.

Trip Report:
Played on the Wii U game pad. The A button and the right thumb stick can both be used for acceleration/gas/make vechicle go. Right trigger is hop/slide/trick and left trigger is the use item button. You can use either the left stick or the d-pad to steer. Touch the middle of the gamepad touch screen to honk your horn.

It seems doing wheelies for bikes (Mario Kart Wii Feature) is gone. Both bikes and karts can powerslide and earn blue sparks and then orange sparks.

I was able to do the "out of gate speed boost" by holding down the A button when "2" was disapearing. It wasn't much of a speed boost so maybe if you time it better you get a better blast or maybe they nerfed it.

All in all, it feels like a "wide" Mario Kart. The tracks are very large. This might be to accomidate multiple players in multiplayer, but the roads seem very wide, it felt a little weird.

Press the right trigger to do a "trick" and get a speed boost when you leave a ramp like previous games had.

The bikes can really cut corners sharp.

Pink Gold Peach was fun to play. I think she said something like "I came in first!" when she won the race.

Graphics are nice. Was focused mostly on racing instead of visuals. It's got to be a solid 60 frames per second.

It's bit of a weird decision, yeah. A giant sword seems like it would fit Ocarina of Time Impa better than Skyward Sword Impa.

I wouldn't have immediately pegged her as Meg if it wasn't for the fact that aside from the helmet looking like the face she has in Ocarina, she's even holding the purple flame torch.

Totally man, clearly Nintendo just took one of their biggest IP's, dumped it on Omega Force's door and said "have at it, call us when its ready." :iamafag:

The design is clearly meant to appeal to the japanese crowd first where DW sells the most, on top of that Aunoma was working with the team and I'm fairly confident in saying that Nintendo had some final say over the final designs of many of these characters.

I personally don't give a poo poo about her design, I just wanna play the drat game.
