Hyrule Warriors Direct (NA & JP) - August 4th @ 11pm EDT / August 5th @ 05:00 CEST

I thought this is tomorrow morning (Europe here), but it is still more than 1 day away. Damn, back to my cave, too much time to wait.
 
A bit odd for the Europe timing, but I suppose they did that because it is in the middle of the night sleep schedule. Hopefully there are some great character reveals.
 
I'll just watch the EU one at 8 AM, not going to wake up for the 5 AM one.

Hope this Direct sells me a bit more on the game. Still afraid it'll get too repetitive.

Yeah same, I really want to like this game but it doesn't matter how many weird & wonderful characters they put in if it's as repetitive as the other Warriors games i've played. I'd like to see some more information on the level design, game modes and mechanics instead of just another montage of a character whirling through hordes of fodder.

Still, bring on that Ganondorf reveal tomorrow.
 
My expectations:

- New weapons
- New characters (The Groose is loose)
- Bunch of gameplay
- Collector's Edition
- Ganondorf
- Something from Zelda announced for Smash because why the fuck not?

-an 15 minute gameplay video from the new Zelda.
We all know that it will happen
 
Not really expecting much from this one. We already got a ton of info and trailers. I mean what more can they show?!

...Though the fact he only has two DLC costumes has me worried. Maybe his default is the Twilight Princess outfit, given he looked very similar to that design in the E3 trailer, with the Wind Waker and OoT costumes being the DLC?

His teaser did give a heavy TP vibe. And he doesn't have a Skyward Sword design since, well, he's not in it.

Also, no way they show Zelda Wii U, I wish they would, but c'mon, that's delusional.

I feel that we won't see anything about Smash in terms of Zelda until the JP release date of the 14th. And even then I expet a Dorf reveal and nothing else.

TP default with WW and OoT DLC costumes. Main weapon being sword and magic with another choice being WW dual swords.
 
Ya, just show me a collectors edition and I will be content. I'm ready for all the moaning that we've already seen 75% of what is going to be shown.
 
Haven't they already shown off the entire game at this point? I'd rather just wait for reviews after all I've seen.
 
Ganondorf NEEDS to have a Trident and a Dual Sword moveset, even if he won't be in pig form or have a WW costume.

I wouldn't mind a Magic Fist moveset based off Smash Bros.
 
I don't think they've shown off local co-op mode, and of course, the potential ability to play as villains. The game's coming out in 10 days for Japan, so time to do some final hype preparations for it.
 
Here's what I think...

We've got three Ocarina of Time characters, so I think we'll have two more Hero Skyward Sword characters and one more Twilight Princess character. This fits with the amount of spaces shown in the NicoNico video during the Story Mode portion.

Of course I imagine villains wouldn't show up there, so Ganondorf would still be revealed. Maybe confirm/deconfirm if the humanoid villains are playable in Mission Mode/a Villain Storyline.
 
I wonder if Nintendo is tending to make more one-game-focused directs rather then normal directs. I expect to see smash/mh/pm direct this year.

I think they will continue to do both. I still expect a "normal"/general direct sometime within the next month. It just really hasn't been that long since E3.

I see game specific NDs replacing the monthly ones in cases where Nintendo feels they don't have enough to fill an entire WW ND.
 
Putting aside my love of Saria for a moment, Hyrule Warriors really was made to be a Ganondorf power fantasy. Since he's likely the "Power" collection of DLC costumes in the Treasure Chest set, he'll probably be shown in the Direct tonight, so they can start promoting his part of the special edition package. Looking forward to it!

Real talk, I'm not really 100% on board with the DLC costumes packs that they've announced and I expect that stuff to be handled poorly.

If I can play as windwaker ganondorf, they will have my money.

I'd say it's likely. Human Ganondorf only appeared in 3 games. Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker. So him having only 2 DLC costumes makes sense if by default he has his Twilight Princess design.

Not expecting the Wind Waker design to be fat, though.
 
I'm expecting Ganondorf to have Oot, TP, and MAYBE WW costumes.

I want to believe that he'll also have a new original design as part of the Cia timeline.
 
Good thing we're getting a Direct for this game, it should cover multiple modes, confirm playable vilains, more about weapons skill/badges stuff.
Also hoping for in-game sound test!
See you at 5 AM :)
 
I expect Ganondorf with TP/OoT costumes.

I wonder if he could have Demise as an alt, but the proportions wouldn't work, probably...

The last costume set, Power, has been confirmed to have two costumes. He'll have an original design and his Orcarina and Twilight Princess looks for sure.
