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.

Playing beat 'em up games with characters you like is fun, I agree with that, and that's why mosou games need rosters to sell. You wont replay/grind that much if you don't like the rosters, doesn't worth it. And all the xtreme legends/hyper/ultimate version make the franchise feels cheap, whenever Koei announce a new mosou game, people expect to see a superior version in six months. I'm sure people hype for HW because of TLoZ, not mosou serious. Compare a spin-off with SSB and Witcher is really weird IMO.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

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

Bug Princess is even less so since the is a castle girl and does not seem to be use to hard work

Saria is hopefully in

I still haven't played that many musou games, mostly the Pirate Warriors series and I'll soon dive into Warriors Orochi, but lots of games get new editions over time, especially after six months. PW hasn't had any legends/hyper/ultimate editions though so chances are HW doesn't either.

But yeah of course most people are excited for HW because of LoZ, personally I'm excited for both of the franchises. And spin-offs aren't weird at all to me, they just need to be done well. In fact, most Nintendo franchises have had spin-offs. Maybe even all of them. Mario, Kirby, Donkey Kong and Zelda have all had plenty of spin-offs with varied results, usually good though. Witcher is also getting a spin-off.

No Darunia?

Pic was uploaded before Darunia and co were announced. And still are yet to be officially revealed.

I know they never would but making Saria into basically a female (young) Link would be so awesome. Give her the Kokiri Sword and Deku Shield and maybe the slingshot or something. Would be awesome to finally have a female Link equivalent.

Failing that just make her fairy lady with magic grass powers *shrug*

Would rather play as the humanoid version of the Deku Tree.

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.

you can look at Garaph site. Look for "Game search", input "Warriros" with the % symbol before and after the name of the game, and click. You should get a list of Japanese Warriors (Dinasty, Samurai, One Piece, Kens, Gundam...) games performance
You'll see that in the PS2 era Dinasty and Samurai were able to cross the million mark, but that in the PS3 era (I think that those two consoles are the best for Musou games) the numbers saw a decline, with the licensed version able to outsold a good amount of classic iterations on the same hardware.
For Ken's rage adn Pirate warriors btw (more or less, don't balme me!):

PS3 Fist of the north star ....589k
360 Fist of the north star ...35k
PS3 Fist of the north star 2 ....242k
Wii U Fist of the north star 2 ....7k

PS3 One Piece: Pirate Warriors .......830k
PS3 One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2....415k


It must also be said that the second iteration of both One Piece and Ken performed worst than the first episode, by far.

[Kouriozan]

Hope we'll see Ganondorf, it is time.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

so this stream has been live for a while but we still have over an hour for Hyrule Time

 

[L~A]

Stream has started, but not the Hyrule Warriors part (2h more to wait). Anyone can set up a secondary stream? :s

I think a better question is can somebody record it. Because only premium accounts can watch archived live shows.

 

[Nia]

...and Saria

They gotta have Saria

:-(

A surprise Saria reveal is what I need. Yesterday was not a good day for me.

 

[L~A]

Well... only a Premium Member can watch the whole thing without getting kicked out, and therefore, no one else can record the show itself

But it seems all good so far, haven't been kicked out so far.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

you count down shows an hour and seven minutes

let me know if I should click to the stream early

 

[Kouriozan]

But it seems all good so far, haven't been kicked out so far.

I have been kicked 15 min. ago already.
But I'm good so far since.

 

[Shard]

So is this like another Koei Tecmo stream or something?

 

[Kouriozan]

There was a Sony game (entwined) I think then a Sega fighting game.

 

[L~A]

It's a Dengeki Online stream, which is why there's games from multiple companies.

 

[Francokid1]

what game is this?

 

[Huh?]

I don't know how to find the stream.

 

[Kouriozan]

what game is this?

Toukiden Kiwami.

 

[Pikma]

Man enjoying/playing Hyrule Warriors will be my guiltiest gaming pleasure ever. I just want online co-op to be confirmed to seal the deal.

 

[Francokid1]

Toukiden Kiwami.

Ty. Looks like a game I would like.

 

[Kouriozan]

30 mins. left before it start, where is the hype? :-(

 

[Shard]

Space Dandy, he is a dandy guy in space!

 

[random25]

Looks like there's some classy English-speaking guys whining "y no zelda yet?!". *sigh*

If you do get kicked out, try reloading

Good, and yeah I also saw "It's a cat!" x)

 

[Katsuragi]

Just tuned in and the first thing I see is Meow from Space Dandy. The stream is already off to a good start.

Just saw those other posts too. Thanks. What do you mean by kicked out?

There is a premium subscription and they get the priority, so sometime regular users get kicked.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I hate getting kicked out

I don't want to pay premium

2 times in 5minutes

this stream feels like a Japanese version of a Giantbomb stream

Well that sucks, guess I'll just have to stay on it.

Thanks everyone for the help.

I think it is because I kept closing the tab, the trick is to hit the back button when it loads the premium payment screen

 

[Shard]

They could have gotten a fresher trailer for Space Dandy.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

does every stream need boobies?

boombox cassette tape and woman with burger and fries

dammit kicked out again@

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

I almost forgot about this. I reserved a timeshift for the Space☆Dandy stuff too.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'm getting that stupid pop up every 2 minutes to every 30 seconds of stream time now

30 seconds!

No make that 15seconds and kicked out
