I like Zelda. I like Warriors. I thought the trailer looked pretty neat.
Sorry everyone, this thing is my fault.

I guess, but even still. I just woke up and watched the direct. They were bad screens, but it's hard for me to believe that people actually thought the game would look like that. 3DS games look better than those screenshots.
Come on, guys.

So who's going to start the "Lu Bu for Smash" petition?
Smash clearly needs a scarf Link skin.
Edit: Not Zelda, shows how much I know about the series though!
Yeah, but isn't the team responsible for Gundam Extreme now working on Smash Bros?
After this Nintendo Direct, Smash needs a Scarf Link skin and a Dr. Luigi skin.

I remember I bought Samurai Warriors a few years ago
and had a lot of fun, the game sure wasn't the best looking game, but damn it was such a guilty pleasure, Never bought the sequels(I did play the dynasty warriors one for psp tho) but putting link there has really spark my interest, we'll see...
almost 10 years ago damn...
Crazier in amount, sure. But none of these seem as crazy and unrealistic to me as Pokemon x Nobunaga's Ambition.
They need to add scarves to all the characters.
Man, some of the posts in this thread.
Sakamoto messed that game. He wanted NES controls and wrote the story. Team Ninja actually salvaged it somewhat with gameplay

Stuff like this sounds better in theory than in practice. If they had just announced this crossover with no video it would be fun to speculate, but what they showed looked janky as hell and not at all like a game that should be coming out any time in the near future or this year at all. I haven't played this series since the PS2, do the other HD Musou games look this bad or worse?
To be fair to Sakamoto, the game would have worked perfectly well with NES controls had Sakamoto stuck to his original design of it being a 2D game.
Sadly he let them talk him into making it 3D, but was fucking stupid enough to not let them make it so we could control it like a 3D game should.
This isn't really correct.
You have some members of Extreme Vs working on the new Smash, however you also have members from the Tales Of and Tekken teams as well. Smash 4 is by no means a Extreme VS Team Production.
Besides they are busy finishing up work on Maxi Boost as well having some of the team on Smash 4.

So this will basically be like "God of Zelda"? Count me in. Especially if Sheik is a playable character.
And yeah the OP really needs to be updated with pictures that show what the game will actually look like.

Unsure of how I should feel about this. I mean who doesnt wanna mow down hoards of baddies as Link. But I've only played Dynasty Warriors a few times and it became very repetative. Fingers cautiously crossed.

To those asking, "What characters can they use out outside of Link/Zelda/Ganon?" I say, welcome to the Warriors series!
It literally does not matter. Dynasty Warriors uses characters that never fought in the history it's based on. Whether they're the wives of characters, or strategists and other non-fighting officers, so long as they were around (and even if they weren't), they're fair game.
Impa, Skull Kid, various enemy types, King Bulblin, Zant, even the friggin' Bug Princess could be a playable character.
If they choose to go with multiple characters - which I hope they do - expect to see anyone from The Great Moblin to the Happy Mask Salesman.

Spin-offs don't need to be C-tier games.
Musou games always looked pretty behind the curve technically as far as I am concerned. It's Koei.
Same. Not sure what's up with the hype here. Even as a big One Piece fan, that One Piece Musou games got boring rather quick.

I knew you'd show up sooner or later.
On a different note, it really is surprising to me how much of Nintendo's currently known first party Wii U lineup is not being developed internally.

ehhh another hack n slash game with Link in it.
I'm assuming this is the alpha version because the AI looked pretty bad.

You're a huge Musou fan, are you not? How do you feel about this crossover?
same. Maybe its not??
I wish people had been this outraged when they announced Pokemon would do a crossover with Nobunaga's Ambition. Just how dare they combine a series that has done well for itself, but may not be enjoyed by all, with a long standing Nintendo franchise like this. It would have been amusing.
Now I didn't enjoy Wario playing like Bomberman as I don't care for that style of game play, and as a lover of Nobunaga's Ambition that "my first strategy game" type set-up for Conquest could be of no enjoyment to me, but this I do believe is a collaboration that I can enjoy just like when people influenced by Dizzy and other ZX Spectrum games got to work on Donkey Kong.
The core aspect of Warriors that I really hope make the transition into this title is the idea of field control. Taking over areas, building foundations of your troops coming in while enemy forces start to wither or cease all together, ah such fun that I've always appreciated even if it's typically ignored by those who aren't really into these series of games.
I also quite hope for the Dynasty Warriors set-up of multiple events per battle being able to take place depending on who is alive or dead/defeated/retreated.
It may not be for everyone this type of game, but it's certainly for me and I hope to be able to play it for a 100 plus hours just like I have Samurai Warriors 1 and Chronicles, Warriors Orochi, Gundam 2, etc.
I would like to shake your hand my friend.

Can't wait to play as the bomb shop lady from MM, blast mask included.

Due to the HD development troubles, they had no other choice I imagine. It's sort of the same as the Gamecube tactic back in the day (Outsourcing F-Zero, Star Fox etc), but just on a larger scale.
Well so far its a good thing given the other developers are or could possibly be stronger then Nintendo in areas that these games focus on.
The only one that is questionable is SMTxFE and that only depends on the type of game it is. So it's very possible that having Atlus being the Lead for development was a smart move over IS.

Best Zelda spinoff potential since
The low bar has been set!

I wouldn't be shocked if we get a few of the DW standbys as well; I'm thinking Guan Yu, Sun Quan/Ce and Cao Cao.
I mean I'm fine with the hype. People still do enjoy the Musou games, and I did get some basic enjoyment from them at one point. They're just really starting to run together for me now, but I hope the Nintendo "injection" makes this one feel different. If people rave about it I'll try it, but my issue is it's still part of the same fundamental strategic problem that Nintendo has. It's just doubling down on the same franchises and characters that people clearly are not buying their system for already, they need new ideas, completely fresh characters and worlds and gameplay concepts, something that surprises and makes fence sitters wonder aloud if maybe they might need to get this "Wii U' thing after all.
But, they will continue to have to learn the hard way. Not that I think things are able to be turned around for Wii U, but to me they really aren't even trying right now with their strategy.
Yeah! I really don't know why everyone is upset when Pokemon did something crazy like this.
Just checked - according to the initial press release, Tetsuya Akatsuka, director and producer of Gundam Extreme VS, is indeed working on Smash. As is a producer and director from the Tales team, the Soul Calibur art director, and the core Tekken team.

Apart from the Orochi series, I think the only two times they cross-cameo'd characters were Lu Bu in SW1 and Ryu Hayabusa in DW Strikeforce. Don't think they'd do it here, much like how you didn't see DW characters in the One Piece, HnK, and Gundam games.
I just think Nintendo is making stupid moves.
