I'm interested in what that "Story" section entails.

I'd be okay if this game had no story and just snippets of various Zelda games/scenarios/worlds.

I mean where would the Ocarina of Time level fit other than Ocarina of Time? I guess it had Skyward Sword enemies but I assumed it was just early in development.

So no one can translate? why is it so blurry?

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Really? The way it looked like last time, it would surprise me if development started before spring 2013. Looked extremely rough.

That's just what Dynasty Warriors games look like. I know there were people thinking "okay, they've got Link running around Hyrule field beating on enemies - this must be some sort of proof of concept", but the reality is that running around a field and beating on enemies is what you do in these games.

Very small image. I'm hunting for a large one or a summary on Japanese forums.

 

[LiK]

It'll be like all Musou games.

 

[sciencerob]

Dynasty Warriors is always a mindless fun game (which I've seen argued against on principle by some people). I think even my fiance could get into this game though (she doesn't like dynasty warriors but she loves Zelda).

 

[Aquamarine]

So no one can translate? why is it so blurry?

You try translating that.

 

[georly]

I'd love if nintendo filled in lore with spin-offs done by other companies. The great war is a great place that doesn't fit in with a normal zelda game, but works really well as a musou.

I'd love a chozo game done by next level, for example. Maybe the story of young samus, or maybe parts of the history of the chozo.

I'd love a captain falcon game done by platinum, in the style of viewtiful joe.

Pokken fighters is also a good idea.

I'm totally in love with nintendo giving their IP to be genre-remixed by other developers, as a means to explore the worlds more fully without harming the mainline titles.

 

[bryehn]

That's...soon.

I don't know much about Dynasty Warriors, but the teaser from last year looked really rough to me. Moblins appearing out of nowhere, and pretty shoddy graphics. And we haven't seen anything since. I don't know, the concept is really exciting to me, so I hope the game isn't just going to be a rushed reskin or a regular Dynasty Warriors game. I'm a little nervous!

I'm pretty sure they have a single button that churns out Mousu games at T-K. My biggest concern is that this will be a stripped/dumbed down take on the series to fall in line with Nintendo's philosophy about what they consider "accessibility"


Also, this is the first Zelda game I've been genuinely interested in in a long time. I wonder how they'll treat the mindless slaughter of 1000s of enemies in future games.

It's too tiny to read anything more than a few words.

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

SORRY, CAN'T GUARANTEE YOU THAT! GOOD LUCK!

Noooooooooo!



... That Impa pic looks delicious. When should a more readable scan be available?

 

[Kouriozan]

Please be summer for US/EU too, please!
I'm OK with September.

 

[Dr.Thunder]

I love the skyward sword Impa design. Now patiently awaiting translations from the article. So hyped for this game.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Surely his phone could do better than that

It's too tiny to read anything more than a few words.

 

[Ataru]

I'm looking forward to this game, it's been years since I played Dynasty Warriors.

And maybe we can finally play as Zelda...

 

[Dr.Thunder]

My guess is we get an US release date at E3 accompanying a new trailer.

 

[wrowa]

Is that a screenshot from that weird Twilight Princess cutscene in the bottom left?

 

[Qurupeke]

It's a good thing that they probably don't consider this a big thing right?

 

[Shiggy]

Well yeah, but I was talking more about the presentation. Then again, the production values are extremely low as the series only sells decently in Japan.

 

[JoeM86]

ω-Force & Team NINJA are the specific developers of Hyrule Warriors.

Download copy will be cheaper than the retail copy, but at around 10,000 yen, there's apparently a premium box to be for sale. (Prices aren't clear. Retail starts with a 7, Download with a 6 and Premium with a 10. I doubt it's a round number)

The magazine has an interview with producers Koinuma Hisashi & Hayashi Yosuke and the supervisor, Eiji Aonuma.

Leaving details of the story to StreetsAhead. I can't translate at all

I don't know, I could see this selling well.

For a Wii-U game.

I would totally buy a £60 Premium version that came with the blue scarf-cape.

 

[popyea]

I love the way Link looks in this game. It's like an extreme version of the Twilight Princess design, but colourful. Much more appealing than the new smash bros one, which has all it's features toned down and squished together.

 

[BY2K]

Who's w-force?

 

[Meikiyou]

The scan shows link with only the triforce of courage while in SS he had the 3 pieces. Link before him I can't remember if he had any to begin, the manga only shows triforce being used by hylia to throw skyloft into heavens as I recall.

 

[wrowa]

The developers of the Warriors series.

Team NINJA is the surprise here.

I'm calling it

August Hyrule Warriors
September Bayonetta 2
October X
Nov Smash

Nintendo has been pretty consistent with worlwide releases, and Zelda is much bigger in the west, so I see no reason at all it won't be a worldwide August launch. Not like there's a ton of translation? X on the other hand...

 

[Dr. Buni]

waaay too soon..why can't you post the scan?

Why? Why would you want the game to not be released soon? I don't understand.

Hopefully Impa is playable. Nice to see she has her superior Skyward Sword design in Hyrule Warriors.

 

[Haunted]

Here's hoping they abandon the idea of a full-price Dynasty Warrior spinoff featuring Zelda characters.

I know Nintendo believes in premium prices, but you can be only so far removed from market reality, surely.

This screams budget priced game and would be the only way this is going to be successful.

I hope it will not take too long for them to localize it for the West. I also hope to see more details about playable characters soon

Every Dynasty Warriors game is a full price game and deservedly so.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Yes, evil witch Shia. The text of the blog hints that she's under control of a force of dark magic.

---
It will likely have 0 bearing on the Western price (since TW101 was also more expensive in Japan than other 1st party titles), but 7,000 yen + for the retail version is expensive for a Nintendo game; typically on a console Nintendo games go for around 6,000.

slightly off-topic: I understand this was implemented out of respect because there are enough journalists working on magazines posting on GAF and it'd be kind of a dick move to steal their content and make buying the magazine obsolete... but surely the same logic wouldn't apply to Japanese magazines?

oh well, these particular scans are pretty bad quality either way

well... good luck with that for a WiiU game release in Europe and NA, I suppose.

In the scans you can see a woman wearing some kind of mask. Probably is that Shia character.

 

[brandonh83]

I wonder what the game will actually be called.

 

[LiberaTeExInferis]

Are the scans reasons for Hype?? :

I find it really strange, that we have only this small teaser trailer and yet we know the release date, etc..

Gaf users exist in many countries. Legal action wise, theres no difference.

That would be an incredible fall schedule. I'm guessing at least 1 or 2 of those games will be delayed until 2015. Also, I expect some sort of new game to shown at E3, one that might come out before Christmas.

 

[RiggyRob]

If it isn't Hyrule Warriors, it'll be Zelda Warriors. I can't see it being anything else.

You mean in the top left of the right page, or the glowing eyes white/black split mask?

I guess that's true.
