probably because they heard several times people asking for a more action oriented Zelda (not from everyone, of course), because FE was already "given" to Atlus for the SMT crossover, and because Zelda is a well known franchise wordlwide (FE got a spike with the latest one, but still is smaller than Zelda in the West)

Well, "summer" might be September, so I could still be some time. I expect them to mention it at E3 at the latest.
Wikipedia tells me summer ends August 8 on the Japanese calendar.
I'm new to the Dinasty Warrios series but after reading throughout the posts I'm getting really pumped for this game, at least until the mainline Zelda arrives.
They have so much content to play with for this game...
I'm not a huge fan of the Musou series, but I liked a couple of chapters I've played, especially if based on "licenses" I liked (such as Hokuto no Ken, Gundam, One Piece)
the most important aspect for this one, to me, is: or a way more interesting story compared to a normal Musou, or tons of Zelda characters playable. Villains included.

I think Nintendo didn't lie it'll be released in Summersorry for the bump, but...
This game is slated as a summer release (in Japan at least), and we are now around mid April.
Where in the BLUE HELL are the updates?!
2015

I wouldn't even be surprised if it doesn't hit Europe and NA at all, or maybe with quite some time in between. I've never played Musou but I was told it's immensely popular in Japan. And so is Zelda, so this should be a great cashcow in JP.

I am like really 0,0 percent interested in this. I've never played Musou but from what I hear it's just endless rounds of fighting baddies and no story whatsoever, right? In that case I couldn't care less. Ah well, that's just me.
You should try for yourself and see If you like it.
The genre isn´t for everyone, but people should try something for themselves before judging.

Yep that was me, it took some time getting used to. Thought it would be canon and such. But apparantly not, so I'm a loot cooler towards it now. But still not planning on buying this day one like any other Zelda.
Edit: see you edited your post. I'm not a big fan (read: no fan at all) of fighting games, besides Smash which just is a lot of fun playing with others. I haven't played Bayonetta, and don't plan to play Bayo2 as well. I guess it's just not my thing

They showed it globally in a Direct. Of course it'll come to west.I wouldn't even be surprised if it doesn't hit Europe and NA at all, or maybe with quite some time in between.

And Zelda isn't that popular in Japan I think. I'm pretty sure it's a lot more popular in NA at least.

I don't know what kind of forum you're on, but here, people know everything they need to know about Musou games from videos and secondhand accounts (that themselves are probably secondhand accounts).

Haha, I edited it out because I didn´t want to sound so abrasive.
So....yeah, just try one of them, you might end up liking them, despite their repetetive nature.

I mean, I get the various complaints against the genre in general...and I´m not that big of a fan myself, but I dislike this notion of hearesay > your own experiece (like you, apparently).

No problem, I tend to be an emotional guy by not thinking things through first , lol
Then what games are there to recommend on PS3DS? Honestly I think I'd rather play Bayonetta (which says a lot), but if find a Musou game for cheap, heyyy why not. Expanding one's horizon can't be all that bad.

Nearly every recent Musou game has been released in Europe and NA, wether as a digital only game or as regular retail release.
Zelda is immensely more popular in NA than in Japan or Europe, and the trailer for this particular game has more view than any trailer for a musou game released before iirc, they'd be stupid not to localize it.
Experience tells me nintendo delays games. Especially when they just announce stuff for damage control.Wikipedia tells me summer ends August 8 on the Japanese calendar.

This is being made by Omega Force though, they rarely delay their games and they can make those really fast.

Hyrule Warriors seems like a good fit for E3. I just hope Nintendo does a good enough job differentiating it from the Wii U Zelda installment. Not just in marketing, but also in art style, etc.

If Zelda U looks that bad things have gone horribly wrong at Nintendo.

I think that we should differentiate the technical end from the gameplay one on this game.
I agree in that the game might not be a looker but remember that this is a project where Nintendo is acting as a supervisor, programming is surely being done at Tecmo-Koei, and as such they will most likely focus on the gameplay mechanics and that, while maintaining the core muso gameplay, it stays true to the Zelda world.
Right. I'm just saying that no one will confuse this game with Zelda U once it's revealed.I think that we should differentiate the technical end from the gameplay one on this game.

Unlike other contents (aka Yakuza collection for example) it was streamed and presented on all three Directs for all three regions, in the same Direct. "Ours" said 2014, while the Japanese one said Summer 2014.
So it could hit later on, but I cannot see any reason for them to not bringing it here: they fonded it, the licensed one of their major characters/brand, they chose one brand popular also in the West, they also published previous Musous TK games in the West (Samurai Warriors 3 for the Wii for example) and so on...
Right. I'm just saying that no one will confuse this game with Zelda U once it's revealed.
Yep, agreed. If there's one thing that worries me is the kind of marketing push this game will get. As the market for this game is rather small (aside from the hardcore muso players) I don't know how Nintendo is planning to attract the long term Zelda fanbase.
For those, Tecmo and Nintendo have a daunting task of balancing both franchises enough
to not alienate both audiences.

Bayonetta is not the same thing at all so I don't understand that point
That said, the musuo games pride themselves on amount of content so I'm curious what we'll get here
87 characters in dynasty warriors 8 is less than an orochi game, and that's with years of adding to the roster

I doubt there will be that much. It's a first entry and those are always pretty lacking.

my concern is less than 8 playable characters
I could also see them easily only giving us 1-2 and having various weapons be new move sets or whatever

I dunno, I thought HnK Musou 1 was a damn solid game, especially considering how diverse and well-equipped each character felt.
