From what I see in the trailer, it looks like there will bring something new to the table also like that magic bar, various items to use, potions. I don't think that rolling boss fight in the trailer resembled anything from other musou series. Who knows, you'd probably be surprised. There are more than a few mechanics unique to each musou series, don't be so haste to diss this as just a reskin.

The one thing i enjoy most as a Nintendo fan is the unmatched ability of this company to piss people off. It never gets old.
The comments in this thread are hilarious.

wat is dis
Seriously. And getting pissed off at something that makes complete sense. Especially after One Piece Musou
It will be. Along with crossbow training.
I only played one PS2 DW game and I know what the PS3 games look like, so I'm pretty sure I know what to expect.
When I saw the trailer, I already knew GAF went apeshit. And it didn't involve Cranky.
temporary name, single gameplay area shown, kinda inconsistent assets, slowdown, enemies spawning right in front of the camera...
i get nintendo want to show that they've got software coming but should have really waited until this game had enough polish to show off properly

Tecmo Koei shouldn't be allowed anywhere near beloved Nintendo IP after fucking Other M. If Nintendo really wanted to appeal to the "hardcore" or "western" audience they should have partnered up with a western developer (not named Ninja Theory) that would have provided a new take on Zelda than what we have here. Hell I would trust Platinum to deliver a better action-oriented Zelda game rather than Tecmo Koei.
It was like fifty pages ago, but I want you to know that typo was deliberate. This is important to me.
Could be the beginning of 2014 being the Year Of Zelda..?
Haven't played any of the Warriors games yet so might pick up the one that launched with the Wii U to check it out because it's as cheap as chips now.

Mario is their mascot, so i expect a bit of whoring.
I always felt like they thought Zelda was their real prized jewel and exercised some artistic integrity with it. Guess not.
I'm not going to deny that Nintendo has done good collabs before. It's just that Other M stands out as such a big misstep I would prefer that Nintendo didn't give this company carte blanche with this specific IP.
We could actually have a decent game here but trying to insert narrative/world building elements fans would rather see retconned in the future is a scenario Nintendo should avoid.

You have been wrong for quite a long time...
I'm not posting Link's Crossbow Training again, you all should understand by now.
To be honest I have no idea what you are talking about but with this new found knowledge I have to reread your post.

Let's wait and see how the game turns out before we start bemoaning the loss of Nintendo's artistic integrity.
Didn't Tecmo give us Pokemon x Nobunaga, too, though? Seems reason enough to let them have another whirl.

People have dropped nukes in the world too, doesn't mean it was a good idea that should be repeated. ( and no I'm not comparing the significance of the 2 obviously lol )
How in the hell does this look fun again? Have you ever played a Dynasty Warriors game? It gets old in about .. oh I dunno by the time you finish the demo for it, let alone the full game. Take Link out of the picture and interest no longer exists.
To each their own though.
I'm ready for the Nintendo collaboration with GungHo though. I want my Link leader character.

Trust me i hated the fact that game existed and was hoping that was a one-off kind of thing. Zelda is my favorite franchise so it's kind of annoying...normally i'm quite level headed about everything.
Lol at the cranky bit.
You can blame Team Ninja and a few other devs for working on that POS Other M. Omega Force who is working on this had nothing to do with that game.
Kamiya wants to work on Murasame. You know, not give us another fucking Zelda game? Too much if ANYTHING is bad no matter how fanatic the person.

Really?????
You're comparing a mashup franchise game to eradicating hundreds of thousands of lives?
Oh internet. OH INTERNET. You were grand once, but internet has jumped the shark.
Even though I don't agree with you, it blows my mind they would give Zelda to Tecmo and not Star Fox to Platinum.
yeah, because nukes and video game spinoffs are the same thing
People need to work on comparisons and analogies on this site.

But fucking Musou? A b-tier franchise (and that's being generous) that has zero mindshare in the west. It just seems like a waste.
Fucking make Zelda Demon's Souls or give Level-5 the chance to make a good Zelda turn-based JRPG or something.
Tecmo Koei better be kissing Iwata's shoes right now to be able to even come near a IP like this.

Kamiya said he no longer wants to work on star fox.
The gamepad is too weighty for something like this to really work. It'd be better suited with wiimotion+ controls or perhaps on a 3DS, if you're really set on the "gyroscope controls the obscura" idea.
I did it for Hokuto, for example. and I enjoyed Orochi3 on wiiu for the local multi without split
I'll totally consider this

lol before I could edit the original post and add that, no shit the 2 things are not being compared in significance ( no duh? ) already had 5 quotes. Man that is what you call some predictability.
Anyway, main point was just because they have done dumb spinoffs of Zelda before , doesn't mean it is a great idea and they should completely go off into left field with a mindless Zelda dynasty warriors game.
Zelda is all about adventure and puzzle solving and ... well exploration. Dynasty Warriors ... yeah in no way fits the bill for a Zelda spinoff game.

I am fairly confident he only said that to shut people up. If Iwata asked him to do it, he probably would.

maybe you guys need to look up the word hyperbole before getting all uppity. I swear ya'll are a finicky lot.
to the topic at hand, i don't mind videogame mashups but this looks pretty awful from my viewpoint. Graphics look horrible and I hate swarms of enemies where they individually look identical.

bad gameplay lol
Way too many people in this thread going "OMG NINTENDO GAVE ZELDA TO TECMO AFTER OTHER M WAS SHIT WHHHHHYYYYY" and not realizing that Other M was Team Ninja, a subsidiary of Tecmo, while Hyrule Warriors will be developed by Omega Force, a subsidiary of Koei. Yes, Tecmo and Koei are one company now, but the two sides are still mostly autonomous. Nobody from Team Ninja or anyone involved with Other M is going to touch this game. It's going to be all Omega Force.
Level-5? lmao don't you mean Atlus?

That's pretty much exactly the point. The reason why this hopefully might be worth paying attention to is because it's a gameplay type that this IP has never been applied to before. You might get to play as characters in an action/adventure setting that you don't typically get to play as (like Sheik, or Zelda). You might get to explore environments you don't typically get to explore, or explore old environments in new ways. You might get parts of the Zelda history that don't typically get expounded on that make sense for the type of game this is (like the Imprisoning War). You might get interesting combat that might end up faster, flashier and more over-the-top than in any Zelda-related game ever.
The game is not supposed to be the next mainline Zelda, or even the next handheld spinoff type of Zelda. It's supposed to be a crazy Musou crossover game. Let it live!

Nintendo fucked up Other M themselves. Yoshio Sakamoto was director/producer/writer/designer/etc for the game. Team Ninja only did the grunt work.
Are people actually excited for this?? Yeah, if you look at just the combat it looks sweet. Pretty epic moves, hopefully Zelda U has a similar combat (but I expect not). But what is the core of TLoZ? Fuckin' dungeon crawling and exploration, that's what. And this... how long will those "cool epic" moves last until its magic wears out? 30 minutes? Fuck this shit. I'd rather play that Tingle game I completely forgot prior to writing this reply.
I wasn't saying give Zelda to Platinum, I was saying that Platinum is a much more reliable developer to do good on a licensed property (MGR) than Tecmo. (Other M)
And your right, we know Zelda U is coming and we just got ALBW and WW HD yet Nintendo decides to go ahead and outsource Zelda anyway. Go figure.
I agree it was a bit presumptuous of me to assume the worst, but that footage gives me no confidence at all. I'm truly sick of Nintendo outsourcing key IP to developers only for them to kill interest in them. (Star Fox, Metroid) Of course I don't expect Zelda to befall the same fate, but I was pretty optimistic too when I saw the first Other M trailer so I'm not going to take anything for granted here.

Wow, the venom in this thread is.....something else.
In other news, I always wanted to try one of those Mousu games.
