I'm okay with this

bad gameplay lol
But Japan does love the shit outta Musou, so this will sell to Musou fans who own a Wii U. Might even sell a few consoles, too.

Yeah I don't really know what DW is, so I have no idea what to expect. I'm hoping it has some puzzle elements or some dungeon exploration just because it's Zelda.
I guess it's just a button mashing hack and slash game? Not at all what I want for a Zelda game.

Based on the lack of Musou on NIntendo platforms this number is probably very small.One Piece only sold that much because of how gigantic that IP is in Japan. They probably would have been better off with Mario Musou and now that i say that it actually sounds wacky enough that I might buy it
This will take the edge off the wait for a proper Wii U Zelda, I guess. Might even move some more consoles in Japan, they love that Dynasty Warriors shit over there, or so Ive been told
Will there be multiplayer? Online? Offline? Asynchronous? I heard about this only after I got to work and havent seen the Nintendo Direct yet.

Haha I freaking love posts like this.
Nintendo is really wasting its franchise by pairing it with a MORE popular brand in Japan.
Zelda has become completely a non factor in Japan in the console space, if anything it's Muso who is slumming it here.
didn't Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper sell like poop in it's first week of release
granted the install base is much higher so it could be possible
It sells more than Zelda.

And the tons of drive by posts that came dangerously close to that exact sentiment
I always thought it'd be cool if combat was kind of like Devil May Cry or something. I'm not very familiar with Dynasty Warriors...but, is it as cool as DMC?
And yeah, I hope combat in Zelda Wii U takes a few notes or two from these action games. Fighting can feel a bit dry during our typical adventure.

The base franchise? No I would argue it doesn't.
However it blends really well and you can see that the base combat of Muso really doesn't actually turn people off with titles like Gundam Muso and One Piece Muso.

HAHHAHAAHAH...No.
Devil May Cry's Combat is the center of the game and is just as deep as any fighting game.
Dynasty Warriors/Muso's combat is much more shallow and it's equal part crowd control and looking cool with as little work as possible. not that it can't be fun, it can. However it is not even in the same universe as a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. Hell its even more shallow then a God of War or Lord of Shadows.

The Wii U has two Musou games (WO3 and Hokuto 2), so it's not entirely Musou-less. And also, Musou is big enough in Japan to be a system seller. Not on the level of Pokemon or Dragon Quest, but it is.
This game may not break sales records, but it will do well enough worldwide to justify its existence.
One Piece Warriors 1 sold over 1 mil and that game was not very good in comparison to other Warriors games
Yeah. One Piece Musou 2 did an insane amount for japan in it's first week of release

One step closer to to my dream of an NFL musou.
The way I see it, we're only about twenty more ridiculous IP spinoffs until it eventually seems possible.

God's had his chance.
just what every Zelda fanatic was wishing for i'm sure. A dynasty warriors rehash.
Certainly hope it looks a billion times better than it does after all is said and done cause right now It just looks sad.

Depends on what you mean by "cool". If you mean flashy and cool looking, then I'd say yeah, there's some exciting stuff in the combat. If you mean mechanically, it's not very close to DMC at all.

I'm amazed at how many people are excited for this, yet have never heard of Dynasty Warriors.
Oh shit that would be hilarious. A Football Musou game with your coach yelling the objectives as you slam on everybody.

How much depth is there generally in DW? Is it all just beatem up action? How do environments work, are they like levels?

This is exactly the kind of thing Nintendo needs to be doing with third parties to start filling out the lineup. I mean, between this game existing and this game not existing, I vote for "existing." It's not like this is being made instead of a mainline Zelda or something.

Maybe they should have went for Metroid Warriors since a new Zelda game is already announced? That might have been cool.
Really I just want a new Metroid game.

The reaction to to a Metroid Musou probably would have been a million times worse.

Pathetic.
Sell outs, this game looks horrible!

plenty of depth as you progress through the large environments of the game. (as of 8) differnet weapons with their respective affinities, different gameplay mechanics like switch countering, item crafting--as well as the traditional stronghold tackling gameplay with your troops against other troops and stuff
sigh how can you get this mad
Same. I rather play just play Dynasty Warriors than this. Seems unlikely that we'll get Zelda U in 2014 now I guess.

It's pretty much beat'em up action with the end goal of MOST maps being "beat up enemy commander."
However, you'll have to balance things like troop morale by completing objectives, capturing key points, keeping certain allies alive in order to prevent the enemy forces from overwhelming your own before you can finish the map.

As long as they don't touch Metroid again....
Edit: wait, is Team Ninja a part of Tecmo Koei?

Extreme Versus is legitimately the second best fighting game this gen
