God everyone needs to stop hating on team ninja the games they had produced have been solid, the only reason people are complaining is because of other m, which even isn't their fault they didn't write the story, the job they had was making the game enjoyable and playable which they did pretty well considering what they was working with.the gameplay in other m was above my expectations so I'm happy they're back with Hyrule Warriors

So if it's coming August 14th in Japan, when do you think we can expect it in the rest of the world?
I can't imagine there being a lot of text to translate in a game like this, so localization shouldn't take that long, I don't think.

They are bring Samurai Warriors 4 to PS consoles Fall so I imagine this will be a worldwide release or within a month of release.

Can't wait to play this on my Wii U and SW4 on my PS4, me and my. Brother have loved warriors since DW2.

Strange that the Famitsu article does not mention online play at all, as pretty much all previous Warriors-games have had onli co-op. Maybe they just think that it's given within Warriors franchise, and no one asked them about it.

I don't think I would ever even play the online mode, just found it strange that they don't mention it, while local multiplayer is mentioned.

I need to play as Ganon. Then I will buy the game.

Maybe... mid September?

the warriors games have a ron of text and conversations.

Hopefully they have already been translating it so we don't have to wait

That's some Team Ninja style right there.

Those screenshots look lovely especially......

WHOA. NICE SCREENSHOTS!

The graphics have definitely improved. I can't believe Nintendo approved the look on that one character with the massive cleavage.

Edit: this game looks like it's going to have voice acting which would be a good test to see if it works for the series.

Color me a tad bit surprised at how good the updated character models are. Now Ninty/Tecmo needs to show that gameplay wise its much more than your average warriors game infusing elements from Zelda.

The villain designs don't really scream "Zelda" but then again I don't think that was the intention.

And the updated character models look pretty damn good to be honest.

We know for one that it'll borrow the trademark Z-targeting from the 3D Zelda games.

Wow, they really have improved those graphics since the December trailer. I'm even more excited by this game now. Hopefully E3 will bring more info, and release info.

Anyway, I was thinking. Maybe when the game releases we (fans) could begin a Twitter/Facebok campaign with pic of oneself holding the game with a hashtag #OneOfTheMillion.
I know, hashtags are stupid, but I kind of like the idea.

EDIT:

Why didn't anyone told me Wonder Red would make an appearence?

This is Japan, of course it would be approved. Prepare for massive censoring in the West, however.

And...voice acting???

This Weekly Famitsu cover is pretty rad.

@Andyliini

But won't you look foolish if the game doesn't reach a million.

@cookiex

To be fair I wouldn't have called Demise Zelda like at the outset.
