I'm sure this will sell some hardware. I don't "get it" but these koei musou games have a rabid fanbase
You either love the hell out of the DW games or you don't. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground there.
If this uses the pro controller and/or gamepad I'm sold. If its only motion controls then theres pretty much no chance I get it.
I have nothing against DW, but I don't want to see a Zelda version. I hope this doesn't sell well. Zelda has had some bad games and several mediocre ones, but doing senseless crossovers is really going to ruin the Zelda franchise.
Remember how everyone hated the idea of Capcom doing Zelda games and then those turned out to be two of the best Zelda games ever made? Why are people so god damn negative about everything different?
Because it's already a bit cheesy that Nintendo still clings to Zelda to begin with as opposed to actual original ideas.. but they could at least try to make a good game, rather than simply go where they feel the money is. If they want to keep making Zelda games, they need to show that they've still got a damn good reason to keep making Zelda games.
Nobody does anything original anymore. Furthermore games cost too much to make now. You can't risk being original on a big budget game, only on cheap indie games.

It's a simple spin-off. You act like this is the future of the Zelda franchise. I'm glad to see Nintendo being willing to branch out some more. Other M didn't turn out the best but I'm willing to give this a chance and actually wait to hear more about it. What's the point in shitting on a game with no real information given on it?

I'm not sure I'm "shitting on" anything. What fans want is relevant information - just because my opinion isn't positive doesn't mean your opinion is better. Trolling is one thing, but negative opinions aren't uncalled for in general.
I do happen to think that Zelda games in particular, having such a rich heritage, should be about quality and not quantity. I don't want any more stupid crap like the CD-i games.
Better picture quality? I'm not a fan of the graphics, oh well...it would be nice to see Link do more than 3 attacks though.

Hyrule Warriors implies that you'll be able to play as multiple characters right?
Who would be on the roster?

This is crap. Way to ruin the mythology.
Can't wait for Dr. Link and Link and Zelda Dream Team.

I think the CD-i zelda games ruined any mythology.

Having played a lot of Dynasty Warrior games, I've noticed this to be a trend with the series.I agree with the graphics quality. Either they better have a large number of enemies to justify the scaling back of the graphics, or this better be an alpha.

This game looks interesting if you are into those DW games. I never played them; so I can't knock it but it just looks like a simple hack n slash. Are the dynasty warrior games Multiplayer? If this has multiplayer it may be somewhat fun.
Exactly this.Musou games are more than just Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors. One Piece, Fist of the North Start, Gundam, Sengoku, have all had the Musou treatment at some point. If some of those names sound familiar congrats. If an anime gets popular enough they'll musou it.
Anyways the gameplay...
The majority of each level is simply running from objective to objective and beating the tar out of the regular mooks. These guys are really generic looking (they get lazy as fuck with sprites) and more often than not utterly incapable of defending themselves. There are usually a few different looking mooks in the horde who are capable of doing moderate damage.
The correct way to go about it is to use the hordes of fodder to increase the size of your combo, thus building up your power, and use your dodge attacks to bound from one to another pummeling them into the ground, and then unleash that attack power through your stronger attacks on the enemies that are actually a threat. You can get through it by just mashing buttons sure, but then again you can just point and click your way through any FPS from that perspective. Or you can be bounding and leaping from mook to mook before smashing the real threat.
There are also lots of boss battles. These are much different. Bosses are all just as tough and good as you are, with their own special attacks. So you get some rather interesting battles here as well.
The games all have a ton of fan service, dialogue, and inside jokes. So if you know the source material well, you'll have a blast watching the characters talk shit to each other. Some of them have multiplayer modes as well.
It's not for everyone. But if you like that sort of hectic combat and smashing faces like an anime, and you like the source material odds are you'll enjoy the game. If that's not your sort of thing and you're not rather familiar with source material, they aren't all that fun.

I disagree about Other M; put the cutscenes aside and it was a very good Metroid game.
Very polarizing.
You either love that one or hate it.
It seems most people that hate it, blame the shit story, those that like it, didn't really pay attention to it (It's quite forgettable, minus THE BABY THE BABY).
I hated the fact they force you to play on the wiimote, when the game is fully 3D. But I heard that was Sakamoto's decision to not allow the nunchuk, just like he wrote that awful script.
If you ask me, Other M wasn't Tecmo's fault, it was Sakamoto's.
Ironically, here we are once again with a Tecmo collaboration. Who knows how this is going to turn out....

Usually to justify the huge number of enemies on screen, graphics quality of maybe the support soldiers that run around willy-nilly and/or backgrounds tend to suffer. There were usually slowdowns when performing certain special attacks and a lot of enemies were on screen. In the last one on the PS3, it was a big improvement over the PS2 versions. Graphics quality was a lot better, slowdowns were nearly non-existent but it was nothing compared to something like "Last of Us".
Now, with the Wii U being relatively at or around the performance of the 360/PS3 except that the processor speed is lower-- 1.24GHz vs. 3.0 to 3.2GHz in the PS3/360, I would not be surprised that a few compromises were made like with the PS2 versions. It'd be like pairing a Radeon HD 7570 in a system with a ultra-low power Celeron, and expect it to run a game at 720p with medium-high details and a lot of characters on screen expecting it to run at a steady 30FPS.
We cannot expect miracles coming out of that.
The graphics will probably be improved over what we see now, but I don't think it'll be a significant upgrade unfortunately.
Other than that, I hope we have other characters besides Link.
Zelda for the hell of it? Hey, she kicked ass in the Smash Brothers series if you knew how to use her.
Though there weren't a lot of characters that actually fights in the series alongside Link, it would be nice to add some variety to the game given this is just a spin-off.
