Dustin from Denkiphile: "Hyrule Warriors‘ isn’t a canon Legend of Zelda game, but a spin-off developed by Team Ninja, the studio behind Dead or Alive and the Ninja Gaiden series and Omega Force, creators of the Dynasty Warriors series. These two developers delivered exactly what was expected of them. Instead of the traditional puzzle-solving and exploration elements of The Legend of Zelda, Hyrule Warriors’ gameplay heavily revolves around the action heavy Dynasty Warriors formula of battling through hordes of enemies. The combination of Legend of Zelda and Dynasty Warriors felt like a brilliant idea, but fell short due to its performance issues and linear gameplay."
Former Nintendo of America staffer talks about concerns the company had about Hyrule Warriors and it damaging the Zelda brand.
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.
