Current Events > Is anyone buying Hyrule Warriors for the Switch?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Never played it on my Wii U or 3DS so I'm generally excited. Love Dynasty Warriors. Can't wait to play the Zelda edition. I hope it's good.
---

its delicious. buying 4 copies to play

Yes, I can't wait to use Linkle and her phat ass

Oh man I am for sure. Dynasty Warriors was bad ass.

Linkle is fucking adorable

As for HWDE, I already got it on Wii U and 3DS and can't justify buying it a third time. It's really fun though and if you're a fan of the Zelda series, has a lot of little things that would please you.

I am.

It's not gonna be better than Fire Emblem Warriors but it'll be glad to have a definitive edition

The Wii U version ran terribly and the 3DS was even worse
---

was lukewarm on it on Wii U, tried it again on 3DS and liked it a bit more but still didn't really enjoy it much so not gonna bother with this version at all

I'm pretty hyped.

I played the Wii U version a good amount but only scratched the surface.

Plus all the 3DS content and a little extra sprucing up.

Really the only other thing I wanted was online co-op but I didn't really have any hope for that anyway.

Fitting username eheu

I love all of the Warriors games except DW9 and Hyrule. I'll be passing.
---

No way. I put 200+ hours on the Wii U version and I'm not even close to finishing all the DLC. Too much value. I'll never need to purchase another version because I'll never finish the one I've got.

I don't want to overhype it... Hyrule Warriors is a good (not great) game. What I appreciate most about the game is that it's an endless time sink. The amount of content is SO generous. It's really just a matter of how long you'll last before you get bored. For me, it was hundreds of hours-- well worth the purchase.
---

Me.
---

Not yet. I just ordered Fire Emblem Warriors lol
---

Oh, I'm also looking forward to the portability. Sounds like they fixed the framerate etc. issues too, from what I've read.
---

Yeah I pre-ordered it

Owned it on Wii U but never got the DLC and this is portable

The most important fix was an item card shop because holy hell was it such a painful grind in the original games.
---

Item card shop? It's been a while. Ah, like buying new weapons with rupees? or?

It's an easier way to get those item cards that you need to reveal paths or mission rewards in Adventure Mode. Before you'd need to beat a tile containing the card but you can just skip that and buy it with rupees. You can only buy a card you've collected before.
---

Can someone give me a gamers perspective of the game? Ive never played a game from this series.
---

Didn't that game suck lol

Kill lots of dudes with various Zelda characters with fairly flashy moves.
---

Nah, that game sucked

Ooh. that's a nice little convenience.
---

I will eventually. I have the Wii U version, so I'm in no rush but will buy it later.
---

I doubt anyone that bought Legends and its DLC will shell out $60 for basically no new content. And absolutely no one that bought the WiiU version and its DLC on top of that will.
I am of that latter category, so Imma pass.
---

that game is grindy as hell

they probably patched out the bug that allows you to get 9999999 rupees
---

I love Dynasty Warriors games (except 9, which is an abomination) so HW seems right up my alley.
---

I just think it's kind of sheisty how Nintendo loves to release these Switch remasters at $60 when realistically they should be in the $30 - $40 range

When you sold only 12 million consoles in six years, pretty much any game you released for that console will be brand new for nearly anyone.

It's still in the WiiU version, but it wasn't present in Legends. Probably won't be back in DE either, but you never know.
---

Any new characters/weapon types?
---

I probably won't. I had it on wii u, and caved for the 3ds version too. I don't think I can justify getting it a 3rd time.
---

The game was okay. The grindy shit trying to get you to play it over and over was unfitting. It's not good enough to play again.

I might rebuy it when the price drops.

I bought the Wii U + dlc but skipped over legends.

I'll probably buy it again.

You're absolutely sure of that?
I bought the Wii U version with all its DLC. Legends with all its DLC. I'm still getting the Switch version tomorrow.
---

I'd double-dip if Pirate Warriors 3 hadn't come out earlier. It stole my heart and I can't go back.
---

Absolutely LOVING these new mechanics. So much less stressful running around trying to get there in time, and it was amazing getting to capture a keep with a reward for a different character than I captured it, and still be able to get the reward without needing a replay.
---

I got it. Chose it over Dragon's Crown Pro because I just got GTA5, Yakuza Kiwami, and Tales of Berseria for PS4.
---

Played it pretty heavy on the Wii U and I just polished off Fire Emblem Warriors. Not really in the mood for another Musou.

I kinda feel...foolish because I did just that *stares at both my Wii U and 3DS copies...

Why would I? I already have the game on the Wii U. And 3DS.

Usually whenever I get invested in a Warriors game, I pretty much go through a huge grind fest until I burn out and then the game is never revisited. I know there's some new content compared to HW for Wii U, but I can't imagine slogging through basically the same game all over again.
---

I bought it today. Haven't played it yet, but I love Dynasty Warriors so I'm pretty sure I'll like DW with Zelda

Is Linkle in the Switch version?

No, cause it's no different from the 3DS one except 2 new costumes.

I actual only got the 3DS version in order to transfer Linkle on to the Wii U version.

I fully admit Linkle was a large reason I got the 3DS version too

And it doesn't have the frame rate of a PowerPoint presentation.
