Edit: trailer is up... waiting for official version.

So, looks like there's going to be a live-stream for Hyrule Warriors tomorrow: link! (NicoNico, by Dengeki)

The Dengeki stream itself starts a bit earlier, but the Hyrule Warriors part starts at 11PM JST. Since we're getting a new website update tomorrow, this stream will probably cover some of the stuff from the last Famitsu article (with Ruto / Sheik / Darunia and more). Yosuke Hayashi and Takashi Morinaka will be there to talk about the game.

Times:

Europe: 4PM
UK: 3PM
USA (East Coast): 10AM
USA (West Coast): 7AM
Japan: 11PM

And the live show now has a link on the official website. I think we're going to get some nice things

Thanks to StreetsAhead and Smiles & Cries for the heads up.

 

[Moonlight]

In for Sheik.

 

[squall23]

Let me quote myself from the other thread:

Before you guys all get excited, it's not a Hyrule Warriors stream per se. It's just a weekly video game and anime variety show. It just so happens that this week will have coverage of Hyrule Warriors so there may or may not be new stuff. And the Hyrule Warriors portion will take place during the 2nd part of the show.

Let me quote myself from the other thread:

who's gonna handle the Live Stream?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

thank you. I'll still watch I'm sure the producers will show something interesting at least

 

[squall23]

who's gonna handle the Live Stream?

If by handle you mean who's live stream it is, it's Dengeki's I believe.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

Sure Nintendo is pushing a lot this game. Any chance it will get relatively popular?

 

[KHlover]

It's a Zelda game AND a Warriors game. Should be popular...limited greatly by the installbase though.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Nintendo is not publishing this in Japan so Tecmo Koei are the ones that have been pushing out weekly videos

So, Dengeki. Thank you.

I'd say Koei Tecmo is puhing it. So far, for the West, the "only" coverage Nintendo gave wwas the E3 Treehouse

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Nintendo are also broadcasting the trailers on their youtube channel.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

NOA also uploads english versions of the same videos that TK puts up a few days later on Nintendo's Youtube channel

 

[Smiles and Cries]

yeah but a few days later

 

[Aostia]

yes, but I'd say that so far the marketing for this game is in the hands of Koei Tecmo. I think that NoA and NoE will jump on the ship a little bit later, considering that the game will be available in the West in late September. I'm looking at you, LE and CE... ;p

I would agree

NOA is not in a magazine every two weeks pushing it here in the US while TK is doing Famitsu

and yeah no LE or CE stuff sucks too

If I had to guess the most sales may come from the west anyway

 

[Aostia]

Probably..
If I'm not wrong, we don't even have info on the DLC stuff for the West. Do we?

 

[Clefargle]

Darunia needs do be a dancing based fighter, like a b-boy....

 

[Kouriozan]

Nice!
I'll watch it for sure!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Probably..
If I'm not wrong, we don't even have info on the DLC stuff for the West. Do we?

nope

might be paid might be free but since NOA is publishing we don't know

maybe they are waiting for an August Nintendo Direct

this is late September so they will have to say something soon

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

This game has become my most anticipated game alongside Super Smash & Witcher 3. Will watch if I'm not working.

 

[random25]

Cool. Looking forward to see this.

 

[Dereck]

Twitter basically confirms big update on official site tomorrow.

 

[Neiteio]

Ooo, I'm excited!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

yeah I think Tecmo Koei is taking this game seriously enough to hype this game every little chance they get. This is like going to an IGN stream so they need to provide something new at least something that is in this weeks magazine

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Eyyyy look, all the controllable characters so far are in that pic, I bet.

I think they'll stream the videos for the new OOT galore contents revealed on Famitsu. Sheik, Darunia, Ruto, and maybe...Ganondorf!

Well, Musou game is a great money-maker franchise in Japan, so they're gonna push this game real good.

...and Saria

They gotta have Saria

:-(

Saria being female increases the odds that she is in. I shouldn't worry too much if I were you.

I need to go ask in media create threads what is the highest selling musou

WiiU is struggling right now in Japan so not sure if they will get much from the Zelda theme but this is the most excited I have ever been for a musou title hope it works out for TK they had been showing some really good stuff they seem to understand the Zelda Universe as well

 

[tonyh24613]

This game has become my most anticipated game alongside Super Smash & Witcher 3. Will watch if I'm not working.

It will be funny to see people learning pros and cons of mosou games from Hyrule Warriors.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Oh, I've played several mosou games before. Pirate Warriors 2 is one of my favourite games of 2013! I still play it every once in a while.

 

[tonyh24613]

I've played several mosou games before. Pirate Warriors 2 is one of my favourite games of 2013. Still play it.

It'll be great if you like other mosou games, but it's still a franchise barely comparable with SSB and Witcher. IMO.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[L~A]

That's a pretty safe bet, actually! Because the two bosses (Argarok and the Imprisonned) aren't in there, and there was no way in Hell they were gonna be playable anyway.

I don't think it's a coincidence they chose them

 

[tonyh24613]

Why?

Too much grinding in gameplay, after you tried all the characters,weapons and stages, things left is grinding, or characters you love. It's nice to play a mosou game per one or two years, but Koei is always milking it.

PS4 Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate .....11.852

Fixed to have a wider picture. Musou games are popular in Japan, but their potential depends a lot rom various factors: ultimately, the licensed ones (like Kens or One piece) have performed better than the classics, maybe because they present some novelty element compared to the classic ones.
It must also be said that the install base of the console and being an original project obviously have an impact on the performances of the titles.

So, the elements to understand how this game could perform should be:
- IP/License strenght: so and so. Zelda on home console in Japan is weaker than before; even on the Wii, SS performed way worst than TP or WW. On the Wii U, WWHD barely reached the 60k I think.

- install base: Wii U is not so hot, it is not even at 2 millions sold in Japan.

- original product: this still is an original product (not a late port, nor multiplatform), so I think that it could perform better than the 2 very late port Wii U received so far (Ken's rage 2 and Orochi 3 Ultimate).

Why?

because the gameplay is very different.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I don't expect Hyrule Warriors to do more than 200k in Japan, considering the Wii U's install base. I'm sure Nintendo reimbursed TK decently for their trouble, and I imagine the WW sales will be more than solid for a Warriors game.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Eh, I play them because they are fun. Not for grinding or whatever. I love re-playing characters many times. The reason why the games are so fun is because of the roster. If you only had one character to play as then they would probably be broing. Imo the character rosters make the Warrior games.

because the gameplay is very different.

That doesn't even make any sense in relevance to the comment.

 

[Not]

Saria, out of all the characters in Zelda, doesn't strike me as the warrior type. I guess she could play her ocarina and/or use sage powers... IDK

 

[Opinionatedfish]

Sounds about right. Although I suspect it will do very well in the West. I will predict that this game has worldwide lifetime sales above 500,000.

I also suspect it will be a budget "classics" title by 2016.

 

[DeuceGamer]

Can't wait to get this. Still holding out hope for the slim chance we get a Collectors/Limited Edition in NA.

 

[Danneee]

No Darunia?

 

[Aostia]

You are right, I've seen only now the first quote for your previous post

I agree with everything, except the 200k in Japan.
that's too much.

Is this a real list of best-selling musou games? Is there a place where I can get a complete list, and also did PW really sell better than the main series? Please let there be a PW3 in the works.
