Putting Hyrule Warriors as a recommended game is fine. Just be sure to note that people should have some idea if they like the musou genre first.

It's pretty okay but it also will change pretty much no ones mind about a very divisive genre.

I had never played Dynasty Warriors besides, like, a demo for the first one, but I was/am really impressed by it and curious to know how it ranks in the genre and what similar titles I may want to look into. I may pick up Orochi Warriors 3 down the line, so that's about as high praise as I can think.

It has a poo poo load of content and $20 for four DLCs that each have a fat load of content (if the Master Quest one is any indication) is an easy investment.

It's ok, Kaubocks doesn't like good games like Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101.

Though I went into Hyrule Warriors knowing nothing about the genre and it totally sold me on it in a way I doubt other games in the series would have.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
Pikmin 3 is good, The Wonderful 101 is good, Hyrule Warriors is good, there's a lot of good games on the Nintendo Wii U. :)

If you don't live in a city with good public transportation or aren't too young to drive yourself around you lose out on a ton of the benefits of handheld game systems I think. All I end up doing is sitting on the couch in front of the TV playing it which kind of defeats the purpose of a portable system it seems like.

It being a Zelda game might be enough for some people to assume that it might be more Zelda than Musou. The Zelda factor combined with it being on a recommended list (while most musou games go ignored by all but fans of the genre) might make people think it does something to being itself above the genre, and while it's a good and fun game, it really does not in the slightest. Honestly, if it weren't for the Zelda license combined with the slow drip of games coming out for the system, it too probably would have just been ignored by all but fans of the genre. Hell, I wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't ended up playing a musou game I really liked right before it came out.

I didn't know anything about the Musou genre before I got Hyrule Warriors, other than that they were generally considered pretty simplistic and boring. But I got the game cause it looked fun, and I was right, it is really fun. It's still kind of simplistic but all the characters and weapons are unique and different enough, that as long as you don't only play a single character the game never gets boring and it has bucket loads of content so you'll definitely get your money's worth. And if it really is nothing special for the genre I may need to start looking out for more warriors games to buy.

I don't know about other people living in big cities, but even then I'm not on public trans long enough to justify bringing it out, and that's if there's enough room on the subway or bus that I can sit down.

I'm planning on getting an HD tv in time for Smash, because I have to play that game at the best I can play it. But right now I currently don't have an HD tv, and the screen on the tablet looks GREAT! Mario Kart 8 looks great on it, 3D World looks great on it. The screen just looks good and CRISP. So I don't feel like I'm losing out on anything other than the image being TV sized. It's absolutely wonderful for youtube and other stuff (I currently have the co-optional podcast stream going on on it and it's great).

The gamepad rules, and anyone that bad mouthed it can SHOVE IT

Haha I actually had a borrowed HD tv from a roommate at my last place and all these games looked amazing in HD. I'm just living somewhere else now and have to get my own now. I'm well aware of how amazing all these games look in full HD

edit: HDTV won't be a thing BEFORE Bayonetta though, so that's kind of sad. On the other hand, I will be starting with the first one so maybe the TV will happen before I beat Bayonetta 1

That's not a bad remix of the main GCN circuit theme. I really hope we see more SNES tracks though since those have the best music.

If we're going to be honest with each other, I sort of hope that whatever small team they have on this DLC gets kept there, putting out a new pack of DLC every 6 months until the end of the Wii U's life.

I would be completely fine shelling out $15 local currency every year for half a mario kart's worth of new content.

Speaking of the gamepad, how sturdy is it? I've got to hop on a long flight and i figure I can throw it in my carry on, hopefully it'll be okay. I'm moving to europe and I expect that charging the gamepad might require me to track down an EU charger, instead of just an adapter.

Besides, I've dropped things into the toilet before and I'm not interested in having the gamepad be the next one.

You need to either stop skipping leg day or stop using President Taft's toilet geez, how could the gamepad even fit in the toilet?

You might as well start on the system you own- Warriors Orochi 3 is one of the best installments in the entire Warriors series and it's already on Wii U and you can probably find Hyper for something like $15 now. It's a little weird because it's a crossover game between Dynasty and Samurai Warriors, but the only Warriors game where the story was really worthwhile was Dynasty Warriors 7 anyways.

That's not bad news at all. Yoshi's Circuit is one of the best tracks from the Mario Kart game that generally had the best tracks.
