Topic: The Future of Nintendo Warriors

I thought I would make a thread about the future of the Nintendo Warriors series. I personally think a Hyrule Warriors sequel with

Agahnim
Vaati
Groose
Linebeck
Mipha
Urbosa
Daruk
Revali
and Malon

Will be the next thing we see in this series. Or we could get XenoWarriors which would also be cool.

Apart from Pokemon I don’t think there’s much left that would lend itself well to the Warriors gameplay. I doubt Mario would be on the list as he’s too PG for it and games like Metroid, Star Fox etc don’t have a big enough roster.

Maybe a Super Smash Bros Warriors game?

Metroid with all the hunters, Remember Me? guy, Adam, and all of Samus' suits as individual characters.

With a mode where you play as The Baby.

Donkey Kong could be fun if they can manage to create a fun 3D brawler/beat em up mechanic. Lots of characters to choose from, and fun enemies.

@jump I can totally picture a pokemon Warriors with graphics like Pokken and similar move sets. As for a SSB Warriors that would be amazing.

@Eel I could see space environments with a bunch of Metroid aliens. The only problem is the roster would probably be half Samus.

@Agriculture Why does that seem really likely. Out of all the more cartoony Nintendo properties DK seems the best fit.

@Blooper987 I could totally see them handwave the fact you have samus fighting other samuses in different suits as them being evil clones and/or robots.

Storyline saved!

Animal Crossing Warriors. All the fan favourite NPCs and Villagers adorably killing hoards of enemies. It would never happen but I would love to see it.

Kirby Warriors could actually be freaking amazing

Playing P5S and seeing how it merged Persona battling/summoning with ARPG mechanics kinda made me think about how easy it would be to adapt stuff like copy abilities to the Musou formula

I feel like Xeno Warriors is probably the logical progression from Zelda and Fire Emblem if anything. Koei Tecmo typically loves to do these kinds of crossovers with more adventure-oriented franchises, especially ones that have a distinctly anime-esque aesthetic like Dragon Quest with Heroes, Zelda with Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem with its spinoff and more recently Persona with P5S. They've even straight up used manga/anime IPs for their crossover games like Fist of the North Star, Berserk, and One Piece.

Oh how I love the musou genre.

If there was ever a way to resurrect Urban Champion, it'd be as a musou.

Xenoblade would be my top pick (and probably the most logical), however now that someone mentioned it, Kirby would be dope as heck (and is unreasonably popular in Japan, so don't count it out).

Here’s an interesting idea. What if instead of taking another popular franchise they take an unknown franchise and build up a new series? I’m thinking Sin & Punishment, Murasame Castle, or Advance Wars.

Yeah, plus that they can break out of the mold a bit, because the Kongs don't have swords. It would be more like a 3D beat em up I think.

That would defeat the point of a crossover though wouldn't, they want to get their hands on big properties so the Warriors games sell better as Warriors isn't really that big of a franchise despite the amount of games they release.

I'd love a Xenoblade Warriors game.
The franchise has tons of characters to choose from and if there's ever a XC3 or XCX2, some of its characters could easily be added as DLC.

Well... that’s answered! Super excited for this and can’t believe it’s only two months away!

There's no need for this thread then!

I find it ironic that 5 days after I created this thread they announced it😂. I must be able to see the future.

@Blooper987 If you can see the future, please tell me. When will Pikmin 4 be released finally?

@Apportal January 19th 2064. It takes a while but the wait will be worth it...

You changed your comment on me.😢 Pikmin 4 releases the day after you die

@Blooper987 Eh, that's not too bad. I'll just be in my cryonic chamber. See y'all in 44 years!
