Hyrule Warriors question: I notice the 3DS is getting *new characters*.

Is the WiiU version going to get the new characters as well?

The 3DS version comes with a code for the new characters in the Wii U version. That is literally all we know about how it works.

I really hate the name Linkle

Like they couldn't go with Linkette or something that sounds a bit more natural. Linkle does not roll off the tongue.

Never mind the fact that she's just Zeldafied Lara Croft with a pancho.

I really can't go back to Hyrule warriors after playing Dragon Quest heroes. They should have made HW just a reskin of DQH because DQH does a much better job with it's gameplay mechanics. HW is just really average and doesn't go out of it's way to be good, but DQH stepped it up big time with how they switched up the gameplay and to have things like tower defense battles. I was also surprised that they bothered with a story that tied the Dragon Quest lore together.

Probably getting a Wii U for christmas and I was wondering if you still access the Wii Virtual Console library through the wii u?

I realize this may have been answered and that this will probably get lost in the shuffle but I figured I'd ask since I've been told conflicting things.

Also, how much longer will they be making games for the WII U before the Phase it out in favor of the new thing. Beyond handheld consoles, I've been out of the video game loop since I was a kid so forgive my ignorance here.

The Wii U has a Wii mode that makes it pretty much identical to a Wii Mini. If you have a Wii and you have WiiWare and Virtual Console Purchases, there's a system transfer utility that you can use to transferal of your WiiWare/VC purchases to the Wii mode of your Wii U.

With a virtual console game, if you already have it for the Wii on your system, and there's a Wii U virtual console version available, you have the option of repurchasing that game from the Wii U for around $2 to be able to play it without switching over to the Wii Mode.

The only real difference is that Wii U VC games are upscaled to 1080p (Wii VC games are locked to 480p), Wii U VC games have a kinda-sorta save state system and let you remap controls, and support the gamepad & pro controller, while games on the Wii VC require you to use a classic controller or classic controller pro.

As for the NX, literally all we know is that there is a new system coming at some point, and it has the codename "NX" Nintendo might start talking about it next year, but we're not likely going to see anything until 2017, a good 5 years after the Wii U came out.

I mean like, in the game theres a character "Link" with his own movement and specials and level up. Linkle is a new character with different all of that so they have to give her another name. They cant just have her called "girl link" or give her a female sign next to her name like she's a pokemon... Ive actually talked myself out of it. They should just do that

Im a little upset that theres a new console out. Most of a consoles best games come bear the end of its lifespan once devs know how to work with the hardware. I wish Nintendo would just make WiiU games for the next little while

Realtalk though, I have a feeling that whatever Retro's working on is a project for the NX. Whether or not it's a new Metroid, a new DKC or something else entirely new I'm very excited to learn what their project is. Whenever we learn about it.

Look at all the potential names for Dixie the Rare guys tossed around back in the day. Coming up with names is serious work.

Edit: Also potential names DKC2 could have originally gone by.

I don't know Linkette sounds a whole fuckton better than Linkle

Or like they ditch the whole Link name together and get a different name. Like Luigi isn't some name based on Mario.

the L/R pronunciation is a thing in japan. Lightning had the same deal and it really varied from which VA was speaking. Some would say the L sound, some would say the R ingame.

That's cool, apparently DKC2 is just subtitled Dixie & Diddy. It's a shame they missed out on the 'excellent' joke title of Kong Quest :)
