Topic: Hyrule Warriors (& Legends) - OT

I'm speechless. Nintendo nailed it this time in E3.

Box art:

Stupid question, but who is the girl on the right?

Not supposed to be known. Probably the villain Cia before she went evil or after you beat the game.

The E3 showing of this game makes me definitely want it.

Also, MIDNA

I would've guessed they would be using the other Midna form but awesome imp Midna destroying everything on wolf sounds AMAZING.

Coming out 2 weeks after my birthday.

Zelda's character design reminds me of Valkyrie Profile, and I'm definitely OK with that.

GameExplain brings us the show floor demo.

Link:

Zelda:

The demo suggests there are five additional playable characters yet to be revealed.

At least Japan will have 1 game they will care about from E3.

Midna gameplay from Treehouse

Dat Majora's Mask moon cameo @ 13:06.

I like that Midna's in, but I wished they went with her true form. She was only in imp form in TP due to Zant sealing her power. I wonder how they're going to explain it in the context of this game.

Zelda looks awesome, though.

I'm glad they used her imp form, just because it's way cooler.
She'll probably be one of my favourite characters, but that wouldn't be the case if they used her true form.

The more I saw of this, the more I liked it. I wasn't nuts about it in the start, but after a while it grew on me. Now that it's been shown that you can play as Zelda and Midna, I'm sold.

Preordered this with Bayonetta 2 and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. So that takes care of any new releases that I intend to purchase this year.

Also, the Treehouse gameplay just sold it. I knew I was going to buy it at release, but before that I thought "Neat game, I'll probably like it!"
Now, those thoughts are: "OMG I NEED THIS GAME NOW"

Launching September 19th in Europe, one week earlier than NA.

Luckily... Japan likes Nintendo style of gaming so there is that. I really think Japanese gamers are prolly smiling about Hyrule Warriors, XCX, and even Bayonetta 2. And then there's Smash Bros, too.

Dynasty Warriors is very popular in Japan so there's no doubt this will be a hit there, though Tecmo wants this to succeed in the west which the Zelda brand will play a large part of.

In Japan, Xenoblade and Bayo didn't sell all that great so hopefully the Wii U games will do better.
