What the hell are you talking about?

As I wrote, I don't think anyone took Hyrule Warriors for the next Zelda, it was pretty clear it's a Warriors game. So why should it be compared to Zelda-games? At most I would say, all comparisons are flawed, but where is the fun in this. It's clearly a Warriors game like One Piece Musou and should be compared to these games.

You're telling me that most of the people who bought Hyrule Warriors bought it because it's a Warriors game?  I'm guessing that most of the 5 million people who bought Link's Crossbow Training just really liked crossbows, too?

Look, depite your accusation that I tried to spin this for some reason, I really don't give a rat's ass either way.  I just thought a Zelda comparison would be more interesting since I'm pretty damn sure most of the sale for this game in the west are because it has Link and Zelda.  Now, as to why that would bother someone enough that they'd throw insults over it, I have no clue.

I don't even care if you want to compare it to other Warriors games, which I've already said.  All I'm saying is that I don't think we'll find anything interesting in that, other than the fact that Zelda is more popular in the west than Romance of the Three Kingdoms.  Surprise, surprise.  Gundam and One Piece are more interesting but again we run into the fact that neither are as popular in the west as Zelda and that those games aren't on Nintendo consoles here (as far as I know).

So why are people getting angry and upset that I think comparing it to Link's Crossbow Training, Four Swords, or Twilight Princess is more intriguing?  I have no bloody clue, other than they perhaps are worried that it won't "win", but why would anyone give a damn about that?  That's not why we do comparisons.

Honestly, this whole bloody thread has gotten ridiculous.  I don't have any agenda.  I've laid out my rationale and, even if you don't agree, I think I've been fair and that my points are at least worthy of thought.  Regardless, people are getting silly over this and I'm tired of it.

Yeah, let's even compare SSB with Mario Kart and Paper Mario. Every one of those has Mario.

Paper Mario is a flop.
