Short Hyrule Warriors Video Signals the End of a DLC Era

This game has had a long good run!

Kind of sad that they are done with the DLC.

DLC era, we are still in it.

The first DLC Season Pass was great for Wii U but since the 3DS version came out the Wii U's DLC has paled in comparison. I bought the Legends Character Pack but I don't think I'll buy the other remaining Legends of Hyrule Pack. The DLC has been fairly costly as well, on top of buying the game the DLC just for the Wii U alone has cost >€35.

@Captain_Gonru Me too.

What game franchise will they sully with their stale, unambitious game formula next?

Here lies Groose... I guess.
I have yet to pick up either version of this game.

Hopefully they bring the missing dlc stuff to the Wii u version, and discount everything. If that happens I might still get the stuff that I am missing!

@Captain_Gonru Why not both?
Actually, I think I'd preferred a Hyrule Warriors Special port for Switch (with dlc and stuff from both 3DS & Wii U version) and a Fire Emblem X Warriors crossover.

@KelvinJohn What does fried chicken have to do with Hyrule Warriors?
Edit: For some reason your comment shows a link (no pun intended) to some article about fried chicken. What's weird is that I see the article on my computer but not on mobile.

In all serious, it's sad to see the end of DLC for HW. Who knows, maybe a sequel on the Switch?

@Solid_Stannis Please, how is a well-liked spin-off that sold over a million units "sullying" anything?
Get off your high horse. You don't like the basic formula, okay. But whining about it won't do anybody any good.

@LAEER As long as Koei Tecmo is better than IS and recognizes most of the series, I'd be more than down for Emblem Warriors.

Oh, I'm sure a Switch port of the game will come out in the future with more DLC. The way they've been milking this game, it's inevitable.

@CrazedCavalier FYI - our profanity filter doesn't like the 'female dog' word, so I've edited it out of your last comment.

@AlexSora89 - I picked up the Wii U version just this week. I really like it so far, but time will tell whether the DLC is worth considering.

@LegendOfPokemon I'm thinking more of a sequel than a port.

I still think this was a Zelda game I never knew I needed. It turned out way more fun then I expected and there is just so much content. It's a great game and I hope for a sequel or maybe a metroid universe one for switch.

@gcunit Sorry- used to the more lax rules of other forums and comments sections.

It was cool to see all of the additions, but I stopped playing months ago after logging 200 hours on Wii U. I bought the 3DS version mostly for Linkle but have not touched it yet. The amount to do and difficulty in the different maps became too overwhelming with so many other games to play.

I just hope the online Nintendo services stay up.

This game was great on the Wii U. I'll pick up the last DLC, but will keep the disc around for future play.

@gcunit
I'll see this myself as well, but I don't just know when.
This holiday season will see me playing Pokémon Moon and especially Super Mario Maker 3DS.

They're not done yet. Wait for Ultimate Edition on Switch.

Stop spamming nonsense links or your account will be banned.

@CrazedCavalier

Love the double standard of calling someone out for complaining abt Warriors series but then bashing IS a second later.

Anyway, enjoyed this game way more than expected, would be up for more.

Fabulous game! Still play it a lot on Wii U after 2 years! The new DLC has re-invigorated it for me.
Also, absolutely the best Musou/warriors game out there.

I just got "Legends" yesterday (it was a lightning deal on Amazon this past Saturday ). Already having a blast!

The base game and the first DLC pack were both amazing . The DLC released after HWL on 3DS felt like a scam to me. Too pricey for not much content.

All in all it was a fantastic crossover. Hopefully we'll see a sequel or something along the lines of Fire Emblem Warriors

I love the games, but the way the DLC was handled has highlighted to me how greedy Koei Tecmo are, and has pretty much ensured I won't buy another KT game.

shame theres no 30th character to even the selection screen out

I never played the game on neither Wii U or 3DS so I REALLY hope that this game gets a Switch port with all the content Legends had

Hyrule Warriors 2 for Switch? Or perhaps Fire Emblem Warriors?

As a Wiiu owner of the game I'm pretty content with the DLC, mainly since I am still working down the Adventure Maps.

There is still one slot on the Character select screen, would not be surprised if they released Groose as a Christmas bonus

Just wait till Hyrule Warriors Switch Edition, with even more obscure DLC choices....

@CrazedCavalier Metal Gear Warriors!

@Darkthany It's not a double standard- he's providing no context or substance for his complaints.
Meanwhile, it's a pretty common observation among FE fans that IS is deadset on promoting Akaneia and Fates as much as possible, while the rest of the series (barring Ike and maaaybe Roy) may as well not exist.
Tellius, Elibe, and for goodness sakes Judgral and Magvel need actual representation. Though I want an FE Warriors game, I'm not confident about IS handling roster representation.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Buying all the add-on content for the Wii U version, including all three DLC bundles, the four individual costume packs, and the Link amiibo needed to obtain the Spinner, costs as much as the game itself, so Hyrule Warriors costs $120 altogether, plus tax!
Legends is only $55 for everything, which is just a bit less than the cost of the base Wii U game! If a game needed to be added to the range of Nintendo Selects titles, it would be Hyrule Warriors on Wii U.

On a side note, NoA still has yet to release the free Classic Tunic costume for Link in Legends.

@LAEER Hey, we got amiibo functionality in HW/HWL, it would be nice if the Smash series FE character amiibo worked in more than just FE:Fates, Yoshi's Wooly World, Super Mario Maker and Codename: S.T.E.A.M., especially in Roy and Corrin's case, since Roy, and possibly Corrin, aren't compatible with any of those games.

I'm hoping they add one more character because that empty spot is really annoying! Maybe they will add a Breath of the Wild character?

For some reason these games really grabbed me and I've ended up spending a lot of time on both. Really enjoyed them.

@Captain_Gonru

I hope so too

I would like to see a New game with Super smash "Warriors" where u can use Amiibos. And with online functions 4 (or more) players co_op or versus etc.

I thought both versions and both the DLC were outstanding. There is so much butt to kick! And things to do!

But why is everyone talking about a FE Warriors? I wanna see a Mario Warriors! Take Princess and slap a thousand goombas in the face! Wreck havoc as Bowser and boss Waluigi around. Fight Petey Piranha as a mid-boss and use an awesome finisher as Mister L!

Thank god, I was tired of this game after two weeks.

I still do not understand hw they left out Nabooru and Gerudo women in general? Does Anouma not like the Gerudo?

@Captain_Gonru
Me too. I really like the game, especially the strategy type portions where competitive play might be interesting.

I do hope that the play is more varied and require less repetitive experience grinding in the future. A little too much weight is put on just sheer numbers to overcome many scenarios where I'd prefer a reliance on strategic choices and completion to overcome parts of the game.

Plenty to work with. I especially like cooperative play and there's so much potential.

Do you think they'll stick with Zelda again in a sequel? It's really the only franchise I'd want them to continue with myself as Fire Emblem I'm less familiar with (though it seems quite sensible). I think a Metroid or Mario theme would be a terrible mismatch. Star Fox would be better.

I'm torn, the dlc is more expensive and you get less out of the stuff from legends for the 3DS on Wii U but I play enough of a game made for the big screen on the small screen with MH.

I also haven't even finished all the original dlc and I think some of the original content for the Wii U game so maybe I should finish that first anyway.

No Groose or Uncle Rupee?

Been an awesome ride. I've put so many hours into this game.

They misspelled "paying."

Bought it all, all on their respective launches:

Hyrule Warriors digital ($60)
Hero of Hyrule Pack, Wii U Season Pass ($20)
Hyrule Warriors Legends digital ($40)
Legends of Hyrule Pack, 3DS + Wii U combo season pass ($20)

$140. Crazy, but worth it. Money well spent. If I could criticize the DLC, it would simply be the lack of new stages for the games from their respective packs.

Why didn't they include a new stage or two each from Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Link's Awakening, Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks, and A Link Between Worlds, in these packs? I'll never understand why.

Also, still salty about the lack of Saria, Malon, Nabooru and Kaepora Gaebora.

I have throughly enjoyed Legends. I have still have quite a few adventure maps to work through, so this is game that will see action for quite some time.

@Kosmo

Mario warriors sounds good to me, or a super smash warriors. Where can i sign the petition lol.

Still torn between picking this up because it's so goofy and incredibly content-rich, and passing because it's "just Dynasty Warriors."

I've still got to get the rest of the Wii U DLC, but there's time for that.

Here is hoping for a nice over the top Switch sequel. My only big complaint was how ridiculously diffiuclt some of the missions would get on the extra Adventure maps. Grinding is not fun, and trying to get even Link to level 255 (which seems to be required to stand a chance in some missions) has drug, even with getting it on launch day and playing for hundreds of hours.

This game has a crazy amount of content. I've played for over a hundred hours and I've barely scratched the surface of the adventure maps.

I always wished they would have brought Vaati to this game, but the cast was fairly good either way.

Now onto other pastures Koei. That Super Mario Warriors won't make itself!

I'm still hoping for a challenge mode, 1 new character, and maybe lv 4+ weapons for all dlc characters and weapons. I really don't understand why dlc characters get no alt costumes and no lv 4+ weapons!

Hi Everyone, I've got the game for both Wii U and N3DS, but haven't downloaded anything. What 'deal' or package is most worth it? What is the 'must have' DLC, or the DLC that will give me most bang for my buck?
Cheers!

Good game and good DLC maybe a Switch version might happen with all the DLC included and 3DS features.

@LAEER yes. fire emblem warriors. WITH PERMADEATH!!!! only for the truly hardcore.

I hope we get this game for the Switch, so i can buy it a third time! That or a sequel.

This is one game I've yet to pick back up since much of my collection was stolen last year.

Luckily, they can't steal the Wii U DLC!
