Fully agree. I really enjoyed the heck outta HW, and still didn't 100% all the content. But for all the reasons you stated, FEW easily shines over HW. wondering though if this game will have the 60FPS option like FEW does.

The overall story, dialogue, and bonus (evil mode) missions of HW make it a better game than FEW. FEW was cheesy and hide a pretty lame story by comparison, both games were a blast to play though!

I can see how some people prefer one over the other. Might be strange to other nintendo fans, but i like the Fire Emblem franchise over Zelda, though both are amazing, the FE lore and characters are more interesting. 

Story wise - they were both average imo, but like i said, the lore in FEW was more interesting to me. Though it was awesome in HW (spoilers) at the end getting to be Ganadorf

Dialogue - much better in FEW in terms of content between the units, but the performance would be fair to challenge

Adventure mode - I really really like how FEW is presented, but i will agree that HW gave more and more of a challenge. but like the other poster said, i felt I had to grind way to much and or spend Rupees to get everyone on even playing field. 

Both games are a 9/10 for me though.

Yep, both were a lot of fun. I just wish the games were longer! lol I was shocked when I beat it.



Is this really what the Switch needs after the recent release of Fire Emblem Warriors? Which is in many ways so much similar to Hyrule Warriors. Such a waste of manpower to make ports over and over again for the Switch when they can work on new high profile games instead.

Kinda ironic too. People buy a Switch to play Wii U games, yet they don't want to buy a Wii U which offers so much more than just a few ports on Switch for a way cheaper price (even including DLC). I just don't get it.

The Switch is a better console and it's getting a lot more great games. It really isn't that hard to understand.

This port is developed by Koei Tecmo. What high profile games are you expecting from them lol?

How is the Switch a better console when people buy it to play so many Wii U games? Wii U right now is so much cheaper and offers Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Smash 4, Xenoblade X, Wind Waker HD, Splatoon (almost the same as Splatoon 2), Tokyo Mirage, Yoshi's Wolly World, Wonderful 101, ZombiU, Paper Mario and many indie games BESIDES all the overpriced Wii U ports on Switch (Hyrule Warriors, Donkey Kong, Bayonetta 1+2, Mario Kart, Zelda). While Switch itself after a year only has 2 or 3 original high quality games. 

Are people hesistant to buy a Wii U because it has the ''Wii'' brand or something? Who cares about that when it offers so many quality games at a way cheaper price and the same performance on a technical level? Buy and enjoy Wii U for the coming 2/3 years. Then buy a Switch when it offers more original content and not at an absurd price of 320 euros without a game.

When I said 'better console' I was referring to the console itself. The Switch is basically what the Wii U should have been. It's a full handheld and a full console at the same time, instead of the weird mix that the Wii U was.

Sure, the Wii U's library might still be better. But the Wii U is dead. It won't get a single new game anymore. The Switch on the other hand, is only one year old. Its library will end up being way bigger and better than the Wii U's.

The Switch already has enough to offer to keep people busy. Not only has it some must-play exclusives, it also has some of the greatest games from the past few years ported to it (both from the Wii U and other consoles). A lot of people haven't played these games yet, so they're like new games to them.

Not everyone would want to wait years for a price cut, and just sit their with their old console while everyone else is playing the cool new stuff. Money isn't that important for a lot of people. I mean, there are millions of people who pay €1000 for a phone.



The Switch is heaven for musou fans like myself. Definitely picking this up. Sadly it's kinda grindy, but it never gets old for me.

  • The Switch is portable
  • It gets new games while the Wii U is no longer being supported
  • The ports often run better on Switch and have additional content: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft and Pokkén Tournament are great examples of this. 
  • The Switch has far better indie support than the Wii U ever had: Enter the Gungeon, Rocket League, Stardew Valley, Steamworld Dig 2, Inside, Hollow Knight, Travis Strikes Back: No More Heroes, Sonic Mania, Snipperclips, Overcooked, Fe, Owlboy, Celeste, etc. 
  • It has much better third party support from major developers / publishers: Doom, Wolfenstein 2, Skyrim, Dark Souls: Remastered, Shin Megami Tensei V, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Bayonetta 3, Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2, The World Ends With You: Final Remix, Dragon Quest XI, Project Octopath Traveller, etc. 
  • Splatoon 2 is not "almost the same" as the first Splatoon. Salmon Run and Clam Blitz are great additions to the multiplayer content in Splatoon 2. 
  • I bought the Switch for €300, not €320. 
Why are you surprised people don't want to buy a console that is no longer being supported?

Wii U not being supported anymore is no reason to not buy a console. I actually wish I was in the position of people who never had a Wii U. This means you can buy a Wii U for a very low price, plus ALL the good games also at a lower price. You have a collection of high quality games to play in a row. Not only are at least 50% of all decent games on Switch also on Wii U for a way lower price (even including DLC you pay less than the Switch versions), it will take months/years before it has a decent line-up. 

I played all those third party games years ago on other consoles and you can play them right now way cheaper on a decent PC. If you buy Nintendo consoles to play games like Wolfenstein and Dark Souls, you bought the wrong platform. Buy a PS4/X1 for those games.

In the Netherlands Switch is still 320 euros without a game included.
