When it comes to repetitive button mashing, developers, Omega Force, have certainly hit a home run with their latest release in the Dynasty Warriors franchise, Gundam 2. For those of you who have played previous games in the series, expect to see very few new changes and features in the latest installment.
A look at 5 franchises that should get their own Dynasty Warriors crossovers.
The Dynasty Warriors series has turned 15 years-old. And Koei Tecmo is celebrating with the release of a special trailer.
Such a shame the series is so much worse now than it was back in its 4/5th iterations.
Smh
Thank you Tecmo Koei. I love Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors and Sengoku Basara.
NeoGAF member ZhugeEX has provided some interesting data comparing how the various Warriors games have done in the past in both the United States and also Japan. As it stands Hyrule Warriors is one of the company’s most successful games and has achieved large sales very early on. You can check out the US sales figures in the infographic above, and the Japanese sales data below.
For those interested in Japanese sales of Wii/Wii U musou games.
Hyrule Warriors ~130k
Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper ~35k
Fist of the North Star 2 ~15k
It is an awesome game! WELL worth the money. I don't usually buy DLC, but I did for HW. You really get your money's worth. Hundreds of hours of gameplay!
Yep, and all of the DLC isn't even out yet. The DLC just adds to an already great and complete game, the way DLC should be.
eww no.
This gameplay style is boring.
Swing sword once = take out 30+ enemies.....that just ruins the immersion or fun from the game.
After 2 minutes of that, it becomes mindless and not that fun.
* I am glad that they are at least attempting to branch out and try new things though.
More collabs in the Video Game industry could be a good thing.
"Swing sword once = take out 30+ enemies.....that just ruins the immersion or fun from the game. "
It might be someones cup of tea, so why not?
Yeah, they slapped Zelda on it but in a good way that makes fans of both series happy. The games actually pretty fun and I like the idea of Nintendo mixing franchises like this.
Not really a good way because it shows you in reviews how a brand can influence them. If this was just a normal Dynasty Warriors game it wouldn't be getting the sales, reviews and reception it's been getting.
Doesn't that say something about the overall state of the industry.

And you're always bitching about how Nintendo is still making Mario games. Well there you go, you answered all of your questions.
Captain Obvious had to arrive someday.
Not trying to be rude, but it's selling obviously because it has Zelda themes everywhere. And that sells everywhere, no matter on what console it is.
Also, by changing their core mechanics some to emulate Zelda, they also made the best Musou game to date. Locking on to enemies and being able to roll/dodge are huge innovations for the franchise.
They were also able to do much note imaginative movesets due to no longer being constrained by a real world setting.
So, yeah: Hyrule Warriors deserves its success.
Yes, because themeing your product with a household name is SOOOO bad. (/s)
Both Nintendo and Temco Koei are smiling pretty right now at the revenue, while Wii U owners are enjoying the game. Nobody loses.
I own a Wii U, Zelda is one of my top 3 favorite franchises of all time and I though Hyrule Warriors was complete ass. All it is, is Dynasty Warriors with a TLoZ skin on it. So I lost out on 60 dollars....
I have to buy this game. I have been dragging my feet because so many games have come out but now is the time. I have heard too many good things about it.
I'll buy it when it gets a complete edition, maybe. I do only want it because its a zelda spinoff though, i would never buy a DW game. I don't see how thats a bad thing. Its not much different than the Expendables, as an action movie its average at best, but you watch it to see your favorite old action heros fighting together.
