I heard that one was in response to club Nintendo survey feedback. Probably an overcorrection for Super Paper Mario, which is too bad.

I hate Wii Motion controls - way too inaccurate and fiddly for my taste.

But I checked out the motion/gyropad controls on the gamepad with NintendoLand and found it to work way, way better. I'm not sure if its the placebo effect or the technology has really improved, but it felt much more intuitive.

Hyrule Warriors DLC Stuff

There's 4 packs of paid DLC in the pipeline. Based on what was announced for Japan, the DLC will likely be:
  • Master Quest Pack: New weapon, scenario, adventure map, and two costumes
  • Twilight Princess Pack: New character, weapon, adventure map, and two costumes
  • Majora's Mask Pack: Two new characters, adventure map, and three costumes
  • Boss Pack: Two new games modes
There will be a season pass of all four packs for $20 on the eShop. Going that route also scores you a Dark Link costume.



There's also free DLC announced for October 16th which will make 4 of the villains playable.

These characters would probably be the best two choices for Majora's Mask characters. Either that or, like, Happy Mask Salesman and Bombers Society or whatever. More Links would seem unnecessary.

I wouldn't be surprised if Link gets a Fierce Deity costume, though.

So weird that much like Link's inclusion making me play a fighting game (SC2, ie the only console specific bonus character that made sense), Link makes me want to play a Dynasty Warriors.

Seriously, they did a great job with Link in SC2.

I've been on the fence about picking up Hyrule Warriors, but I spent the better part of last year playing through various Musou/Warriors games and I was starting to get burned out. That Majora's Mask DLC is definitely tempting though. I might end up buying the game sooner than later, I think.

X2 and X3 are both nearly as good as X.

X2 is great and is in my (admittedly uncommon) opinion to be even better if not as memorable as X1.

Mega Man X1-4 are all pretty great and worth playing. X5 is alright but flawed. It's worth noting it was gonna be the last one in the series but it was rushed so all the dramatic moments in it don't really feel like much. It's still okay though and has the best names of any characters in the series. X6 and X7 are horrid. X6 is just as rushed as 5 and introduced this randomized hazard system that is just not fun and can make some levels randomly unplayable. X7 added 3D but did it really, really badly and even if you discount that it's just mostly really terrible. X8 is pretty great and worth playing.

Considering that none of the characters for week 4 are from Earthbound, I'd say 0%.

Ness is also supposed to be a secret character, technically, so I doubt they'd just reveal him so unceremoniously via sale.

Lana already has a deku themed weapon. I don't think adding deku Link would be bringing much to the table if they're anything alike. I would prefer Skull Kid. Also, Fierce Deity costume for Link. :allears:

My guess is that it's an easier skin to create, but man... Dark Link is so boring to me. Where's my bed head/lobster shirt Link? Or LTTP blue mail with rad yellow hat? Heck even LTTP green mail: Link ain't got time for pants!

Just being whiny, I am excited as poo poo about this game.

That's how you get tinnitus

The Dark Link skin is unlocked and usable right away as soon as you buy the season pack. So it's basically like the different coloured Yoshis and Shy Guys you got for preordering both Mario Kart 8 dlc packs. I'm sure the extra costumes in the dlc proper will be less :effort:

Of course that comparison just makes me think they should've done it with every character, it wouldn't be hard. I've already run into Dark Agitha in Adventure Mode, I'm sure there are more in there too :allears:

I REALLY hope Skull Kid is in the Majora's Mask DLC pack. I may not have gotten him in Smash, but if I can play as him in Hyrule Warriors then that's worth the price of admission for me.

We know that Zant, Ghirahim and Ganondorf are already playable out of the box, and Skull Kid will probably be the Majora's Mask DLC so I'm thinking:

Vaati, The Original Character Villain(s), and Aghanim or whatever (wizard from LTTP).
