Hyrule Warriors [Name Now Final] - A Collaboration Between Nintendo and Tecmo Koei for Wii U

I just really want Fi and Groose. thats all I care about.
 
That sounds pretty similar to how One Piece worked with MC only story with unlockables for other missions.

As for the characters, I'm totally down for that.
ESPECIALLY with Pit/Samus/Takamaru.
 
Again, just a rumor.
Could be real, could be not.

And even if it is true, there's always the sequel.
You really don't think they'd make just ONE Hyrule Warriors, do ya?
 
I dunno if I like the Samus mention. It's a neat idea, but they probably wouldn't include her without nerfing her a bunch.

I mean, just imagine how cool it would be if they gave her all of her abilities. With a horde of targets, she could play "Grapple Beam Rodeo," "Musical Ice Beams," "Morph Ball Bowling," "Speed Booster Tag," and go on a Space Jump sightseeing tour whenever she wanted. Expecting less than God Mode with Samus would be no fun at all.

I'd also hope they wouldn't stick her in some lame redesigned outfit where her butt was sticking out. I see enough Samus Butt on DA. No more Samus Butt, please!
 
Well, someone on Smashboards pointed out that it WOULD make sense for those three, why?
Because Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Murasame no Nazo all launched (Their first installments, at least) in the same year.
So that does give some credibility and believability to this "Guest star" rumor
 
Just a minor tidbit of info regarding this

Turns out Koei is publishing it in japan, not nintendo. It's being listed as "third party software" as opposed to a true blooded nintendo product

what this means, you might be asking, is that nintendo is allowing for third party companies to actually handle their IPs for a change. Or this one, at the very least.
 
Considering most of the Pre-DS handheld Zelda games were done by Capcom, and the whole CDi thing, it's not too much of a new thing. Still cool though. Hopefully this means that maybe PlatinumGames can do that Shiek or StarFox game they want to do.

The oracles were created by capcom, published by nintendo.
The minish cap and link's awakening weren't.
So I guess they made half of them on a technicality.
But the important thing is that they aren't publishing this, which means they have little to do with it honestly. Creative freedoms and such.
 
They are publishing it here, but I think that's just because people in Japan know Toei's name a lot more than here, so by putting the ol' Nintendo Seal of Quality on the front cover will help sales somewhat.
 
No Nintendo quality control? Operation racoon city all over again

Wait hold the phone what?
Legend of Zelda Character Action Game?
That'd fucking sell hotcakes
 
Yeah, I've wanted to see an Impa game for a while. After OoT, I was convinced that she'd been holding out on folks. Even as an old woman, she could probably still block magic bolts with her abs.

But I guess she just never wanted to hog too much of the action. With great glutes comes great responsibility.
 
Right, let's not get off topic though.

Still looking forward to it,
The fact this is Third Party now is semi-encouraging.
Maybe they'll finally let Retro try making a Zelda game?

-Playable at E3.
-Development is 70% complete.
 
I wonder what the 6 special costumes are

Most likely DLC

Unlocking costumes is the best part of Musou games. You get some awesome ones. I'm pretty much expecting Link to get a Samurai one a la Luffy in Pirate Warriors to harken back to the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series

And maybe cause it's the same people who made Pokemon Conquest, we can get some crossover costumes for Zelda, like giving her an Oichi or FeMC costume

Naw, Masamune Link. Fangirls will die. Heck, I might get a broner.

Edit: Also fitting cause Samurai Warriors 4 just got announced for the west. Gonna use that to quench my Genocide Simulator thirst until HW comes out.
 
but currently Link isn't even Nobuyuki Hiyama
the joke would only work if this was N64 Link

plus imagine Link with

DAT BEARD
 
But then you get into the Metal Gear Solid issues.

This game is made by a Japanese studio

Japanese girls make up a fair share of the market.

In Japan, "manliness" isn't attractive. That's why Raiden was put in MGS2, to appeal to the girls who prefer softer features and more feminine males. I mean, look at Link in the scan! Those are some soft, kissable lips he's got. I'm totally straight but damn if he was coming on to me I'd be like skyward sword me big boi
