This is ridiculous, Nintendo is DEAD.

They're continuing to milk their IP with ridiculous knocks-off instead of delivering real game.


yeahhhh ok bro, did you see the trailer? Its a completely new game, nintendo has never done this. Good Try though lol


It looks like Dynasty Warriors with Link as the main character. And Dynasty Warriors has been milked to death. Sorry but i agree this does not bode well.

Dynasty Warriors do well enough with good licenses behind them, like the One Piece Kaizoku Musou games. The issue is that Zelda's influence in Japan is less than optimal. If Nintendo wanted to license a Zelda game to do really well in sales, it should have been Lego Zelda (despite all the accusations of copying 3D Dot Game Heroes that would come about). Zelda's home turf is America, and the Lego games do best here as well.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Kinda BS I love musou games and have been playing them for over 10 years, everyone harps on about how boring it is but I love them. Now suddenly everyones a fan and its the best gameplay out there......Shows you can put an Nintendo character in anything and the fans will just buy it without thinking :/

This was uber extremely unexpected! I mean when was the last time a Dynasty Warriors game released on a Nintendo system? Regardless, I've always enjoyed Dynasty Warriors, though I haven't played a DW game in a long while, so it looks like this will be another title I add to my Wii U wishlist!



Looks like shit...



Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

Dynasty does well in Japan, Zelda doesnt
Zelda does well in the west, Dynasty not so much, makes perfect sense to me

Yeah, that point kinda went over your head, I could have probably worded that better. What I mean is that people buy into Cod hype again and again every year, even though the games hardly change and just get a new look (more or less)..... and now that I'm writing that again, I realize that that is not the best comparison to make

It's just that the reasons for the hype this game is getting right now, namely the world it's set in, are very weird to me.

It's a cross over game.  Do you expect everyone to like the LEGO or can they get excited when a LEGO game comes out based on an IP they really like?

Yeah.  Fuck Nintendo for making inroads to 3rd parties and allowing them to develop one of their own games with a Nintendo themed IP that has nothing to do with the Nintendo developed IP that never had an official release date.

Heh just an minor observation. Found the some of the reactions to the news of this annoucement to be quite amusing. In that if this Musou game didn't have Link or a Zelda theme in it then nobody would care.

But yeah, I know what you mean. I hope people buy it on the basis of quality, and not just because of the name.
