Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Has Now Shipped Over 4 Million Units

That's amazing, hopefully that means we get a Warriors game starring Mr. Game and Watch!

@Blakeava1821 Nintendo Switch WILL Outsell the Wii and DS, No Doubt About it, Especially with this Incredible Lineup of Games!!!

Awesome! Such is the Power of Zelda, Nintendo and Musous!

A Mario Musou wouldn't make much sense, but it would outsell every other Musou

Shipped does not mean sold!

Well deserved, it’s a fun game. My kids still regularly play it.

@SnesSwitch I doubt DS but I could be wrong.

But it will outsell Wii and PS1 and soon PS4.

You are saying it will outsell PS4 right?

@Blakeava1821 I am sure the Switch will outsell the Wii, PS1 and maybe even PS4

@Blakeava1821
Vgchartz is not reliable.

It is an really fun game especially in 2 player aside from the low framerate, I hope they make a sequel on the Switch 2.

Anybody else think a Kirby warriors game would be a good idea?...Just me? Ok.

Seeing the huge success gives me hope that Nintendo and Koei Tecmo will potentially make Hyrule Warriors a mainstay within the Warriors franchise. Age of Calamity holds a special place in my heart for ultimately giving me what I dreamt of experiencing since 2017 and I would very much love to see where they will go next.

@Rhaoulos thanks to you all I eant know is a mario one of these, because I want to see toad go hand to hand with an army of Goomba haha.

I'm still yet to buy this game, because I've been wanting to get it closer to botw2 so I could play all three in order of the "timeline

I wonder how much Samurai Warriors 5 for Switch would had sold if they exclusively re-include Takamaru again.

Both Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity and the original HW are great games for fans of the series. I'd never played a Musou game before the original, but it quickly made me a fan of the 1 vs. 1,000 style of gameplay. I hope Nintendo will borrow a page from these games for Breath of the Wild 2 in giving us a playable Zelda.

I'd also love to see a Mushroom Kingdom Warriors at some point. Tougher to translate Mario to that style of gameplay, but, hey, they made Mario vs. Rabbids work so here's hoping.

I intend to hold out for an enhanced port with performance improvements and all of the DLC on the cart on the Switch 2.

@Spider-Kev To publishers they are one and the same.

@Silly_G Good choice. I own the game, but I have played it for only 3 hours because the low frame rate makes the experience almost unplayable for me. Waited and waited for a performance patch but I know now that it won't happen. Shame because i really want to play it. 😬

I absolutely don’t get the focus gamers nowadays have with what aspect of a game is most important. Framerate and resolution are nowadays often more important than gameplay.

The game runs fine 99% of the time. And the last 1% is absolutely not bothersome to me. Then again, I’ve played Zelda OoT on N64, so I can deal with 20 fps.

Elderly voice ‘Back in my day…..’

Well deserved and performance issues aside its a fantastic game.

@Greatluigi Kirby Star Warriors would be a fantastic game. Considering you have all the established character's movesets from Star Allies and it's perfection waiting to happen.

@Axecon I know right! Also Kirby star warriors. Perfect name for a Kirby warriors game!

Anyone who can enjoy an N64 game can cope with the frame rate in this. I want to know what 'above expectations' means for HW:DE

I guess that's all right. I thought it would be more considering how well Breath of the Wild sold.

I really love the story and even more that its canon.
Kinda reveals a bit what will or can happen in breath of the wild 2 (time travel, reverse/change time) as we could see in the trailer where almost everything was in reverse, from the music to a drop of water etc, link going Skyward (sword) etc.

I hope BOTW 2 has more live in it, more lively villages or cities rebuild etc.

@Friendly Totally agree! The focus on frame rate is insane right now. Age of Calamity runs fine for the most parts. Flow is what I care about, if the game feels smooth (no stutter and huge dips) mostly I am ok. A steady locked 30 fps is better then a choppy 45-60 fps on Switch. BOTW does not run perfect, yet it is a fantastic game in every possible way!

I feel like the whole fps thing gets blown out of proportion, yes it's noticeable. But it's not unplayable. The game was very fun from beginning to end but to each their own and your loss I guess. 🤷🏾‍♂️

still a terrible game because of the poor frame rate

@KBuckley27
Ironic that your picture is of the N from N64. I guess that was a terrible console too?

Age of Calamity has now outsold Majora's Mask and Skyward Sword.

@Arkay
I feel sorry for those who find the game unplayable due to it's frame rate, they will find it impossible to enjoy N64 games.

May get this, Metroid Dread and Psyhconauts 2 with my tax returns. I played the demo, so I know the set up, but I still want to experience a Warriors game where I actually care about the story.

@The-Chosen-one Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity is not canon(it contradict Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild story).

Lucrative partnership. Hope it translates to a DOA fighting game on Switch.

On topic, I loved AoC… totally my GOTY last year.

Performance of this game is dreadful compared with hyrule warriors. I was surprised nintendo released it in this state.

It's kinda bad, but in a fun way. I played it with a friend who only came to visit every few months, so it took us a year to beat. But it's a game you can beat without ever fully knowing what you're doing. We sure didn't. There's always a degree of 'autopilot'. That said, they tuned the gameplay differently in comparison to the Wii U predecessor, where not knowing what you were doing resulted in frequent failure. To sum it up, I would call HW:AoC braindead but thoroughly made and rich in variety Ah yes, performance - in 2-player the framerate is very low, but I'm not super sensitive to that.

@Giancarlothomaz wut? How? I didn’t notice any contradictions?

The Zelda team even cooperated with the developers on the game.

What did I miss?

@Slinkoy1 I didn't mean to get an idea stuck in your head.
Age of calamity has a nice gameplay, a bad frame rate and an awful storyline. It's like a bad fanfic of what happened 100 years before BOTW written by people who never played BOTW.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game, a perfect follow up to BOTW and playing as Zelda was amazing.

@Friendly by not showing the death of the Champion, by contrading when Link pull up the Master Sword(he have the Master Sword, since he have 13 year old).

I hope it means we get more Zelda spin offs. Not so much parties, sports, or kart racers like Mario. But maybe more side content that fleshes out the various activities and mini games in the mainline series, like links crossbow training and Tetra's Treasure Trackers, or spin offs that focus on side characters like they did tingle in his games for example.

@Slinkoy1 If you've never played BOTW before, I would advise against that plan.

Without spoiling any of the plot, if you dive into Age of Calamity without first having played BOTW, you'll be missing a ton of context, will lack relevant familiarity with certain characters and gameplay mechanics, and some things may not make any sense at all or miss the intended impact.

Age of Calamity is only as much of a prequel to BOTW as Days of Future Past is to the original X-Men trilogy movies, where prior knowledge is expected in order to enjoy the intended experience. It's not nearly as cut and dry as "what happened 100 years before the events of BOTW" makes it sound like.

I urge anyone who's interested to play these games in the order of release.

I bought and I really just did not like it very much, the gameplay was just not that compelling for me. And the checkpoints were so infuriating sometimes

@Felixfromdownunder Ah yes? I thought that was the biggest improvement over HW Wii U. Way less frustration, better flow, more variety, no getting stuck... generally entertaining. Dumb but entertaining. But it's probably a game you shouldn't play on your own.

@westman98 Nintendo Switch sold 5 Million Hybrid Consoles in Just Japan in that time frame!

I am excited for more DLC content.
