Ah I see, thanks. You can tell I never made much progress in Zelda 1, my series shame revealed.
I'm gonna give that rock the shunting of a lifetime.

You know what im loving about Nintendo lately? The change the music of the eshop on the release date of an important game to the main theme of the game. Did it with MK8 and now with hyrule warriors.
Mixed with the banners is a good way for people to notice which game has just released. It also helps the music is amazing.

It is accurate. I've played the whole game with my fiancée, just not the first mission because she couldn't join it.

Pirate Warriors, Samurai Warriors, Warriors Orochi etc. ;b
There's nothing like it outside the mousu-games. Take a gamble and buy it though, I'm sure you'll love it. If not, at least you'll die knowing you tried!

Ah sorry, you're right. I know Nintendo wasn't that much involved but it's great that they allowed a company like TecmoKoei/ Team Ninja to use the Zelda theme for this game.

Apparently there's some kind of friend list tie-in in the adventure mode. I'm kinda low on friends on my Wii U so add me NNID: DaanMuffin. (if this is the wrong topic for that, please redirect me)
Have you ever played old skool 2d beat em ups like final fight or streets of rage? Its kinda like that. So many people attacking you and you combo them to death. With usually some kind of stronger enemy at the end. and its on a 3d field instead of side scrolling. This game also got some strategics involved. By capturing bases on the level. But most enemies are more mindless then the old games. I think this is the best comparison that i can be make.

I've never played a Dynasty Warriors game before and I feel that it's a little like a more action game version (ie. no RTS stuff, you don't have to manage anyone else) of Brutal Legend's combat, although admittedly I haven't played it in a while. You're often flitting about the level just disposing of enemies to clear things out on the way to your actual target, and the meat of the game isn't in fact in disposing of the enemies but that disposing of the enemies always meets a larger goal (clearing strongholds, replacing enemy placements with allied ones by attracting and killing the leader).
At first, I didn't really like the game - it felt just totally mindless - but for me, once I put the preconception behind me that the game was absolutely just about the combat, I suddenly started having a lot of fun.
Although I totally expect someone to correct me on every aspect of this post
Oh, and if you're a fan of Zelda, just buy it. The fanservice is just amazing.

First impression is how ugly this game is. The graphics are bad and the UI design is even worse.
Looks like it could be nice fan service and fun though.

How does adventure mode work?
I moved to a square with two gold skulltulas. I killed 1000 enemies to get one of them to appear on the map. How do I uncover the second? Same for heart pieced. I captured every keep and outpost and got an A rank for everything yet no heart piece.
Also I killed an item carrier but got nothing?

press start and look in the warrior info menu, the skulltula info will be there.
Ok, for skulltula you have to check the conditions to make those appear in the battle menu -> warrior -> Skulltula(s)
For heart pieces, you either capture keep or it's hidden under rocks or something, only if those are in the "treasures" you can get in the battle (when choosing a stage there is A rank/B rank/Treasures reward)
EDIT : Oh and you have to play with the same character as the heart pieces icon too.
In Adventure Mode when there is two skulltulas to find... Up until now playing in japanese, it seems to me you just have to play the level twice. It doesn't seem possible to me to get the two in one game. I'm almost 100% sure I've found two skulltulas on a certain screen of the map this way.
Edit: For heart pieces, Sometimes you need a certain item to get to certain places of the map. Also, you need to use some map item on the map screen (like bombs) to unlock the heart piece when actually playing.
You can use a compass item to check where to drop a bomb/use another item.

The game looks like it's 480p in co-op :S
Frame rate is bad too...

There was one with "Finish the first mission then kill 1200 monster without losing 4 hearts or more" and the normal "kill 1000 monster" and only got one, but I think that's because I killed the 1200 monster before completing the first mission.
I'll need to do some test on another map.

Half the reason I even go to the eShop is for the new music.

So despite still being bad graphically and with an unstable framerate in single player it's confirmed for me there must be a drastic reduction in resolution and framerate in co-op.
This game is clearly a horrendous technical mess and is no way worthy of the Zelda IP. No idea what Nintendo was thinking.
I was looking forward to a weekend of coop action but I don't want a headache from sub 20 fps and to be staring at a game with a resolution and IQ that rivals a PS2 game.
What a shambles.

Yup, it's those little touches that make me giggle.
And goddamnit reviewer guy I know... now I had to buy it
First impressions are pretty neat

Just found the first heart piece in the first level
There are two bases that you need to capture to stop the boulder attacks on the allied base, keeping these yours are key. If they fall, make recapturing it your priority as it will stop the allied base receiving damage from the boulders..
I think it's amazingly priced. Will get it next week along with Fantasy Life DLC.
DAMN YOU TO HELL REGGGGIEEEEEEE!!
The problem is that when I go to recapture one of the boulder keeps, the bombchu have already gotten close to my base so there is no time left to kill both operators. I'll just reset and make it a focus to hold onto both of the keeps.

Impa kinda reminds me of that water shark guy from the akatsuki in Naruto, can't remember his name but he is teamed up with itachi
No.
You had one job, Nintendo.
Yeah, the graphics are shit. The fog around the castle on the intro screen even reminds you of the good old N64 times.
But Zelda rock music is pretty cool.

Why would it? It's not a Zelda game.

The
(second stage of TP branch) is hard as nails, I havent died (for example, did many times in the darunia and ruto ones because I couldnt get in time saving the important bases and saving my commanders at the same time), but the fighting aspect of them is the most difficult yet.
ALL at the same time.
It didn't help that in the middle of this huge fight
came to join them.
He is much more difficult because his special attacks dont have weakpoints (appeared randomly after some of this attacks, other times they didnt with the same attack). Then at the end I discovered you
Too bad he only had like a small slice when I discovered that.
Need to beat
it seems.
zant stage
Agarog the dragon from TP, Zant and four motherfucking commanders.
Agarog is difficult because he takes too much hits and the four commanders (two mummy freezers and two aeroalfos) tried to stop you from hitting when the silver life of the boss appears
Zant
He is much more difficult because his special attacks dont have weakpoints (appeared randomly after some of this attacks, other times they didnt with the same attack). Then at the end I discovered you
probably need to use the hookshot when he tries to do one of this attacks becuase the weak point always appear
Need to beat

I see thanks, yeah I'd prefer the traditional DW button layout.

I like how A Link Between Worlds has a flip-cover. Colors on one side, gold on the other. Exact same scene.
Generally, I'd prefer it if the fully-coloured art was used for the cover, while the cartridge/disc art uses the gold version. The simpler, smaller space of the physical game media would lend itself well to monochromatic gold, while not compromising the detail of the full cover.

I've been a musou fan since 2000 with Dynasty Warriors 2. Played all of them really.
And I'm really digging Hyrule Warriors because this is the first musou game I've played where they've mixed it up enough for it to be It's own game. Whilst Dynasty Warriors / Samurai Warriors / Warriors Orochi etc... all have their own quirks I think Hyrule Warriors has really brought something else to the table and I really think the Legend Of Zelda world has been incorporated really well into the Musou style gameplay.
The things I like is the new weapons that are very unique. The boss battles and even mini boss battles can now be really hard and require some sort of strategy to defeat. The apothecary idea is cool as well as is the secondary weapon or item. Even the maps look a lot cooler and better designed than typical musou games. One Piece Musou is the only other game I've played where I thought it was better than the mainline musou games, this is now the second.
Sure it's not a perfect game but I like it and if they take the stuff from this game and improve on it and put it into one of their next musou games then I'm sure I'll like that one as well.
