Official Nintendo Magazine Gives Hyrule Warriors Loving Review

In November’s issue of Official Nintendo Magazine, staffer Kate Gray gave Koei Temco‘s Zelda / Dynasty Warriors mashup Hyrule Warriors one of its first Western reviews, scoring it an impressive 87 / 100. In her opinion, Koei Temco has breathed new life into what has otherwise become a stale franchise.

Can't wait to pick up my copy along with the Hardcover collectors guide!

jeowulf3509d ago

Are you going to get the scarf bundle?

DryBoneKoopa853509d ago

I wish, but I l live 6+ hours away from the New York city store. I'm just getting the collectors guide because the book looks awesome and I like reading all the extra lore and work that went into the game.

SteamPowered3509d ago

I would love to say I will wait for a price drop on Hyrule Warriors, but Nintendo games hold their value for a ridiculously long time. Oh well, just have to wait for the full-on Zelda Wii U.

italiangamer3509d ago

Yeah, I remember last month I saw Mario Kart DS (released NINE YEARS AGO) selling for 39.99 Euros (almost 40 dollars)...HOLY SHIT XD!!!

Loadedklip3508d ago

That is because those games just keep selling. Mario Kart 7 is always around the top 30 or so best sellers every month thus from a business standpoint ... there is no need to price drop them.

deafdani3509d ago

Nintendo games made by third parties tend to drop in price faster than first party, though. So, there's that.

GreenRanger3509d ago

Official magazines don't give bad scores to games that are exclusive to consoles owned by the people who fund them.

jeowulf3509d ago

True, but I thought the review was fairly well-balanced. She wasn't super gaga for the game, but still really enjoyed it.

WeAreLegion3509d ago

Yes, they do. I've seen it from Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox. They give bad scores to bad exclusives.

Official PlayStation Magazine gave Haze a 55.

Official Xbox Magazine gave Too Human a 65.

Official Nintendo Magazine gave Rabbids Land a 37.

To be fair, this publication gives high scores, all around.

randomass1713509d ago

We speak not of Haze... but in all seriousness not all publications come off as inherently bias even if they have a certain brand in their name.

WeAreLegion3509d ago

Agreed. The same with websites.

DarkHeroZX3508d ago

Well ign gave this game a 7 so there is that. Let's eat till all the reviews drop.

Nathan1703509d ago

That may be true,but this magazine in particular has become harsher the last few years.Giving 87 is a very good sign for this game

RAFFwaff3509d ago

im expecting an average of 7 or 8's for this game, which is fine by me, as its not a title every Nintendo fan will universally love. Remember, its not a new traditional Zelda game- dont go into it with unrealistic expectations!!

MSBAUSTX3508d ago

I have been saying 7.5 to 8.5 since it was announced. Remember that the worst score a Warriors game ever received was a 6. I have always thought that the LOZ content would be enough to bump that score up by at least 2 out of 10 due to the fact that people love LOZ. So if the game itself would suck without the LOZ content, then the LOZ content would make it worth while. I predict a solid 8 for this game on most websites.

Realplaya3509d ago

Nintendo doesn't fund this magazine though.

I fucking love Lana design!!11one

-Foxtrot3509d ago

It's ONM they never give Nintendo games like Zelda and Mario low scores if they are big games for Nintendo.

bunt-custardly466d ago

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds466d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

deleted466d ago

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69466d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3466d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese466d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits465d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

shinoff2183466d ago

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

The cool thing about the PS2 chainsaw display was that there was a (kind-of) hidden compartment at the back which was the exact size to hold the PS2 steelbook.

darthv721153d ago

I have that controller but sadly I lost the main cord. And its not something that was anything close to being standard or easy to find.

PrimeVinister1152d ago

One of my friends had it back in the day and I had wondered alout why it had a detachable cord that you could lose.

My friend then said it was so they could manufacture the one unit and then fire its appropriate cord in the appropriate box.

But then we realised each version has a different socket on the unit itself - so there was zero point in it except for collectors to lose the cable.

You know the designers are on r/, gamecollecting, laughing away.

jamesclark19911152d ago

I kept my cord in the "hidden" little brown drawer on the base of the unit.
