AAG's Tyler writes: "When Hyrule Warriors was announced, I tilted my head in confusion. One of the most beloved fantasy adventure franchises in all of gaming was going to get a spin-off in the vein of the famously dismissed button masher that is the Dynasty Warriors series? It sounded like a stunt and an excuse for fan service more than a fresh idea from the Big N.
Fast-forward to the game’s release and it is exactly what it says on the box. Tecmo Koei and Nintendo’s Hyrule Warriors is a large unapologetic celebration of the Legend of Zelda series, rife with fan service, references, and shout-outs. But what is impressive is when you strip away the Zelda paraphernalia, it is still an above average Warriors game."
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
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.
Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.
originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.
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".
Koei Tecmo President Hisashi Koinuma said Mario and STAR WARS are the two franchises he would love to do a crossover Musou game with.
Developers and marketers sometimes dream up fun ways to create hype for an upcoming title. Here are five of the coolest limited edition swag ever put with video 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.
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.
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.
