Topic: Hyrule Warriors (& Legends) - OT

Tecmo Koei has a crack team of developers working on the case.

Sorry if this was already discussed in the thread (didn't dig too deep) but I just noticed today that best buy has the SS costumes, Amazon has TP, and GameStop has ocarina as their respective pre-order bonus.

Which one do people here prefer? I thought the TP ones looked really good, was so-so on the others, but as I have a best buy gift card will likely just snag that and maybe purchase TP if they aren't too pricey.

@SavoirFaire Odds are I'm going to preorder it at Best Buy. I really like SS so those skins appeal to me. Normally I never preorder games, but since we're getting some skins from doing so.. I guess I will this time.

I'm not sure if this is a glitch or fan service.

...What the? Is link dying? XD

I have no idea what that is. o_o
Agitha's parasol looks new though.

I am genuinely confused at what I'm looking at.

I'm not really sure how this is possible but I've noticed a few images with characters using weapons that don't belong to them. Others I've seen are Darunia using Midna's hair and Impa using the Master Sword and Hylian Shield.

Link is looking extra muscular today with his hair....anything?
Oh well. But seriously, I'm starting to think that this game was a bit rushed. That new mode for the patch seems to be an apology for all these glitches as well.

Awesome Miiverse screenshot

So have they said what the new game mode is?

Also i'm glad that Nintendo has successfully got into the DLC game pretty fairly.

Has the UK pre-order DLC been comfirmed yet? It's less than a month away I've not heard anything about it.

Japan gets the patch Sept. 1. The new Mode is a challenge mode, they added a BGM setting and a new (amazing) weapon for Link.

Cool! I wonder how often they'll do these patches

8-bit sword and shield included in the new patch

Awesome! What's old is new again, can't argue with those images.

Haha, that's awesome!

Maybe people are waiting for a patch. Plus who didn't see this coming?! I still say last week's sales were modest at best. We all know in the second week sales drop to the tune of about 75% All this really shows is console gaming and Zelda are both dying off in Japan.

Zelda has never been that popular in Japan compared to america (hence why I think the new zelda's are taking the skyrim approach). But remember Warrior's games tend to be short burst sellers, they sale alot but don't stay on the charts long since there's around 5 or 6 of them every year.
