i am still scared that the framerates drops if there are any on my 3DS XL will become unplayable :-( i heard that if you dont have the New Nintendo 3DS there are fps drops :-(
Hyrule Warriors was one of the most surprisingly addictive games I've ever played. I've literally played it so much that my disc sometimes doesn't even work and I'm still not even near completing it. This review has made me even more excited for it. Those changes look incredible and I'm so hyped now!! :D
It's things like this that prove IGN has absolutely no fucking validity when it comes to their bogus reviews. The fact that they're still even in business is proof we've failed to evolve as a species.
1: Thank goodness you don't only care about the graphics. That's always been a thing that most of my friends or family cared most about a game, and it infuriates me. 2: Did not know you can move your CPU controlled warriors like that. Neat! This channel gets my sub!
Sorry I don't have an actual 3DS capturing device. Those things are dang pricey! I tried to record in a number of environments keeping the device as still as possible, so thank you for your understanding!
Hehehee, it's 'Amiibo'. Anyway, if you scan an Amiibo character from the game, you get a random weapon for them. If you scan one that isn't, you get a random gift. Anywhere from 1 rupee, 5,000 rupees, 50,000 rupees, or 10 character badge materials.
7:03 YES! God finally someone agrees! This is why I want the 3DS version over the Wii U version! You're probably one of the few reviewers (another being Jim Fucking Sterling, Son) to actually praise the 3DS version and recommend it
+Omar Dajani Same, I was already gonna get the game, and he just made me want it even more! I didn't get the original because my younger brothers hog up the Wii U to play Smash and Splatoon.
I think the character switching is a pretty good addition to the game too. Omega force has been doing that for their games more and more now outside of just the Warriors Orochi series which is a great!
This makes me happy that you played older warriors games to compare. Also this review was amazing! I really liked it. This made me want to play this game even more.
Wow, glad to know to this is made easier in some parts, i'm STILL on the original Adventure Mode map, i haven't touched the DLC ones. SO HYPED for this game. Can't wait for Friday of next week. I'm going digital on this. I actually not that big into Dynasty Warriors but the Zelda version I find so much more fun.
In anticipation of the US release tomorrow, I have been watching this review almost non-stop. Thanks for making one of the better reviews I've stumbled across!
Oh my god. I am getting it tomorrow on release, but you made me realize the thing about using specific under-leveled characters. I'm so happy! Got stuck on so many missions trying to unlock weapons and stuff because the characters were bad and/or under leveled (I'm looking at you Agitha and Zant).
fantastic review. i really appreciate the full disclosure in that you are a MASSIVE fan of the gameplay loop that the dynasty warriors series and its spinoffs provide. great work.
It's shame that they didn't remake more Zelda games for the DS series of handhelds. It's also sad that they have discontinued the DS line now, because the Switch Lite just doesn't hit the spot like the DS/3DS did. I have almost every Nintendo handheld, because I never cared much about consoles.
Great review! Very thorough with all the changes talked about, and thank you for not screaming, laughing, playing a bunch of annoying music or having another person on and talking back and forth between you two. It's getting harder and harder to find decent video game reviews on here
I'm in a writing mood anyway, so here's some running commentary, as I watch: Love that new intro. Your girlfriend BOUGHT YOU A WII U? Man, that's love. That's love right there. xD Woah, I had no idea that Dynasty Warriors had begat so many spinoffs. I think I saw Kalin play one on the PS2 a LONG time ago, but I've never played any of 'em, including Hyrule Warriors. I've always wanted to though, it looks really fun! The music in this intro is KIND of high-pitched and distracting. No idea what it's from or if it's tonally-appropriate, just thought I'd say so. Woah, nice that it includes EVERYTHING. It had a ton of DLC. Also really neat that you can bring the new stuff from the 3DS version to the Wii U! Your 3DS camera footage looks so much better than mine. I might need to ask you how you set that up if I ever do 3DS footage again, haha. HAHAHA HE TURNS INTO THE BOAT HAHAHAHA Yeah, I'm definitely not the kind of gamer who has to unlock EVERYTHING, so I doubt I'd do ALL OF THAT. It does look like a great fit for the 3DS, though. My Fairy doesn't look like the kind of thing that would interest me, but eh, cool that it's there nonetheless. One question that the chain system makes me wonder... does the game have co-op? Because I would play the HELL out of this if it had co-op, haha. You don't have to answer that, I can go look it up myself, but the fact that I want to shows how much you've piqued my interest!
+The Geek Critique ANSWER: From what I can tell, while the Wii U version did have local multiplayer, the 3DS version does not. Sad day. :( Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong there, GB!
+The Geek Critique Haha, how interesting. Okay then, I'll chain-reply to your comments. - Thanks man! I worked really hard on it! - That's true love mixed with a lot of begging *coughcough* suggesting. - I even left out a few. What's pretty neat is that they all have their own little variations that make it worthwhile to seek them out too! - The background music does start out rather strong. Perhaps I should have lowered it quicker than I did. - Only the characters and Ganondorf's new weapon. Everything else is new/exclusive to the 3DS version. - I put non-slip pad on a table, and used the 3DS stand from Kid Icarus-Uprising on top. I rubber banded the 3DS to that and positioned the camera (my webcam unfortunately) on a box in front of me. I tried different lighting in the room, different times of day, and different brightness settings on my 3DS. Somehow I think the one with the most lighting in the room with the 3DS brightness on full blast turned out the best. I actually referred to your Smash 4 video to compare when setting this up :) - I'M ON A BOAT! I AM THE BOAT! - If you go for all heart pieces and skulltulas it's overwhelming. Sticking to getting all the weapons and costumes is totally worth it and not that time-consuming. - Yeah, the My Fairy thing is just sort of innocuous. Once you have a fairy, you can't not select it so it is really just an invisible boost. But, on the right maps in adventure mode, that fairy bomb is just ridiculous. I think my record was over 600 kills with a single use. (those are the battles where they intentionally flood the screen and have you run wild) - There is no co-op unfortunately. The Wii U version does though! Unfortunately for that however, the game lowers to 30 fps on Wii U with two human players split screening it (I don't think there's non-local). I'm glad you enjoyed it buddy! :D
They probably won't do it because they assume most of the Fire Emblem fanbase like to play turn based rpg games. An action game like this might seems like a too different kind of game.
Thanks for the review. I was considering buying this for Christmas as I'm getting a N3ds too. I wanted to get a portable version of the game (I don't like taking my n switch out with me) so I'll be sure to buy this
This was a great review! It make me really wanna buy this game, even though I have 300 hours in my HW WII U!!! This video give me the courage to buy HW Legends! (I have a New N3DS so much better experience for me). My poor 3DS is going to have more than hundreds of hours... R.I.P social life...
a store near me carries one last copy of the special edition for the 3ds and Im seriously tempted to get it...it's around 43 euros, while the digital version is still 39,99. in any case im downloading the demo rn
Thank You For The Vid! I've Bought this already but its not out yet were i am so i cant play it, but this vid really showed me i didn't waste my money thx again!
As long as you don't mind the conmstant dropped frames (even on the NN3DS without 3d on) and the smudged and compressed textures which are the textures from the Wii U version down scaled. The only thing this port did that was good was allowing the player to switch between character mid-battle.
Ahhh heeeck yeah! This is the kind of port I love, with so much more then the original to bring players back to it over and over. Thanks for the review, love it!
You were the one that got me hyped over this game. I always wanted to WiiU version but buying a console for 1 or 3 games is a no, no for me so when I got the New 3DS I HAD to buy this game after such a bright recomendation haha. Great game so far. Really cool.
When I pre-ordered the 3DS version, I did not have a Wii U. Now that I do have one, and if the 3DS version really does come with a DLC download code, I may get the Wii U one later down the line.
thank you!! it's available for preorder in the UK and I wasn't sure whether to commit to getting it but I think I will now, especially since I didn't play the Wii U version
This is one of best reviews I have seen for this. Thanks. Sites like IGN are trashing it without any real in depth analysis. Can't wait to get it on Friday.
+Mr Cat I suppose now that the novelty has worn off, IGN is ready to go back to treating this just like they've treated any other Warriors game: play it for 2 hours, briefly mention what has changed on a surface level, give it a poor score and move on.
I owned this on Wii U, but i had to get 3DS version too which is impressive considering the hardware. 3DS version unlocks 5 extra characters and a few "fatality" weapons for free on Wii U btw.
I must be the rarest case then, I wouldn't call myself a total Zelda fan, as each time I've tried to get into any of the actual main Zelda titles console or handheld, I've always found myself overwhelmed by how big the world is, not to mention the fact that there's so many sidequests that I really don't know what's worth my time bothering to get in the game in the long-run, and which sidequests are just a huge waste of my time, however I do like the lore of the Zelda universe, and I enjoy the costumes and outfits Nintendo puts in games like Animal Crossing as the Link costume is one of the outfits I wear most since it was introduced in City Folk and onwards, but to be fair it's not that hard to beat another game's lore when the other franchises I pay attention to happens to be the Super Mario series, especially considering what Nintendo has been doing to the Mario RPGs in terms of story lately. However I do like the gameplay of Hyrule Warriors since it's a bit easier to understand andgetting certain things are a bit more simplified, as I've discovered through this game that hack and slash games are a lot like taking a side scrolling beat em' up (one of my favorite video game genres since I started gaming as a little kid) and turning itnto 3D game, much like the 2D side scroller making the leap to the 3D platformer I see hack and slash as a bit of like that for the 2D side scrolling beat e' up, and yeah closest I've ever gotten to actually playing a Zelda game all the way through, was being the Tingle Tuner for my sister back on the original Gamecube version of the Wind Waker as I stayed with her as long a the game would allow me to help her throughout that game. Anyway to be honest I'm not much of a fan of Zela outside of it's lore and never played a Dynasty Warriors game as I never owned any non-Nintendo console outside of a Sega Genesis or XBOX 360 or XBOX One, only Playstation games I've played are Kingdom Hearts 1 and Rayman Revolution both for PS2 and I got stuck trying to grind to be so overpowerd because I had reached that one Riku fight in Hallow Bastion not only knowing the stories but getting to see how much of a nightmare it was firsthand by watching my sister play it, eventually the grinding got really boring and I never finished and Rayman Revolution was a former friend of my two sister's game that eventually got too scratched to even use, so yeah since Dynasty Warriors has mostly Playstation games I'd never heard of it. Though despite not being too much of a fan of either series I still found Hyrule Warriors plenty fun, as I said games that are like the beat em' ups I've played are one of my favorite genres and Hyrule Warriors kind of like a 3D version of that. Anyway would you pretty much call this the definitive version of the game? As you said it's hard to go back to the Wii U version since this pretty much fixes a lot of problems and has new content on top of that as well as all the DLC stuff right out of the box, and it seems to extend the Legend mode beyond what was already in it, as someone who really enjoyed Cia's tale wishing there was still more to add to Legend mode on the Wii U version as well as wishing for a more cinematic additions to Legend mode what you described sounds like I'd njoy having it, after all I kind of felt wanting more additional stuff to the story, and while Cia's Tale was cool and all it just made me wish they had also done other additional DLC to the Legend mode in the other DLC packs that came afterwards, and the fact that I can easily manage a battle and don't have to put up with the unnecessary BS of of cpu controlled player characters getting their asses handed to them and costing me a ton in battles really makes me happy. Anyway so like I said would you pretty much say Legends is the definitive version of the game? I'm not sure if you would actually go that far saying that or not but due to everything you've said it sounds like that may be the case.
+RandomGingerKing Now that comparison really doesn't work. Obviously good graphics are better, but if the game is good it should also be fine with bad graphics. That comparison especially doesn't work for Hyrule Warriors considering Legends is way better in terms of content.
This is a good thing for me because I live in Brazil and since nintendo isn't operating here anymore you can't buy anything from the wii u store for some reason
Well I think that I've made my final choice of which 3DS game should I pick thanks to your review, I don't really mind for the framerate as long the game is playable and has more stuffs than the Wii U version. I was so happy for this game to be on the 3DS because I don't have a Wii U, I'm a huge Zelda & DW fan for years, so this game won't disappoint me ^_^ I thought very long to choose between FE Fates and HWL, even the game might be slow on my original 3DS, it's still has huge tons of contents and may take over 100-200+ hours than a 1/3 of a game (which can be finish in a couples of days) that I need to pay over 120$ for the full experience... (I live in Canada, everything is way too pricey now)
Good review, haven't seen many other reviews of this game that are not essentially "It's uglier than the Wii-U version, Don't buy". And as a part of the "HW Hundred Hour Club" I appreciate the explanations of the new mechanics, and what has changed.
+GamesBrained by the way, what you think of my suggestion regarding Twili Midnas recolor costume in the Legends costume video of yours? you think it makes sense?
+Ixbran I think it's a great choice, but I'm not 100% convinced. The white on the back of Midna's cloak and brown hair matches, plus they're both princesses, but Twilight Princess Zelda's blouse is just such a different color. All the ones I pointed out were a dead ringer for the color choices, but Midna's purple and Zelda's dark pink are totally off. If it were Ocarina Zelda with her purple dress it would make a lot of sense, but in that case the hair color is off again.
GamesBrained I just find that the colors, while not the same shades, are exactly the same: Purple, White, and brown hair. Really to me what else could it be ya know?
Damn... This review has sold me... I didn't realize there was so much to this new game. I was mostly considering it cause I wanted to be able to pick it up and play when I had some time, but I just had no idea this game was so amazing... I definitely still will play the Wii U version for my multiplayer needs, but I somehow doubt I'll be doing much more singleplayer-ing, unless the completionist inside gets a hold of me.
Thanks for the insight. I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop for a character guide. I never got to play the WiiU version so I'm looking forward to this.
Thanks GamesBrained. For someone who had planned but never got the time to play the original Hyrule Warriors game, I was wondering if it's even worth it to buy the 3DS port. I was wondering about how the fairies function in the game, and was a little disappointed when the big ender animation to the bosses was cut down to a simplistic version just for the port (makes for a less satisfactory finish to your attacks). But the only thing that get me interested for this game is the real-time character change function, which was present in past Dynasty Warriors 3DS games and in the Dragon Quest Heroes game as well. For this review, thank you. I will definitely pick up the game when I am able.
Thank you for your review. I own the Wii U version and intend to get the 3DS version as well. A pity that the 3DS version does not have multi-player with other 3DS owners of this game, but for the extra content, and adventure mode on the go, it is a trade-off I am willing to make. :)
I am SO glad I got this for my good ol' 3DS, even if I don't have a new 3DS, I still enjoy this game 'course it might lag and doesn't run at 60 fps, but whatevs man, this is the good shit.
To confirm with everyone this game runs pretty good on a old nintendo 3ds xl there is not too big of a frame drop but on the small original 3ds It's kinda bad but not too bad so for those who worried about buying the game for their old gen nintendo 3ds it is still playable I've played on my old 3ds the xl and small one and on the new nintendo 3ds so no worries
I have a couple of questions. How hard are the final battles for both the OLOZ (Original Legend of Zelda) Adventure Map and the Great Sea Map? I remember trying the last Adventure Map battle on the Wii-U version a couple of months ago with a Lvl. 95 Link, but found it way to hard, so I decided to level up my Link a bit more before trying again. What level would you suggest the characters be at before tackling the main battles of any of the Adventure Mode maps?
+Bryan Manning The loss in frames isn't worth it in my opinion. There's not really dramatic 3D features added to the games, if anything it is more implemented in the menus than the battles... But, if you like! :)
Eh,it may be the first 3DS game i have that i don't use the 3D in.That is a big drop.I assume the FPS count is indeed for the New 3DS model and not the OG?
GamesBrained Looks like i will have to just live without it.I know its a gimmick to a lot of people but i do enjoy using the 3D because it is so different visually than the norm.The more i think about it the more i can't knowingly cut the framerate in half though so. Great review and some good info in there.Subbed.
I wish they would have ported *WIND WAKER TO THE 3DS*
that would be pretty crazy... I'd buy it
I so will buy
They ported over Luigi mansion so it would have been possible.
Me 2 T_T
Sketcher the Wii U was even more powerful then the GameCube, and the 3ds could run a Wii U port
Really, really thorough review. I think you've also sold me on this.
:)
i am still scared that the framerates drops if there are any on my 3DS XL will become unplayable :-( i heard that if you dont have the New Nintendo 3DS there are fps drops :-(
Ralizah same
Still can't believe this actually managed to beat IGN's review of the game in terms of views...
Rock on, Shane!
I had a great strategy. I actually played the game and reviewed it. BOOOOOM
GamesBrained
Never change, Shane. Never change.
@@GamesBrained this comment is so old, but you are a legend hahaha
Hyrule Warriors was one of the most surprisingly addictive games I've ever played. I've literally played it so much that my disc sometimes doesn't even work and I'm still not even near completing it. This review has made me even more excited for it. Those changes look incredible and I'm so hyped now!! :D
I have to laugh at IGN's review. They gave the N3DS version a paltry 6 (if I recall correctly) basically solely due to the graphics.
/me facepalm
***** I said the N3DS version. The old one was 4.
That's what you get when you have employees instead of gamers reviewing games.
I rate the 3ds version a 9.4/10 amazing and fun. Minus some tedious things.
It's things like this that prove IGN has absolutely no fucking validity when it comes to their bogus reviews. The fact that they're still even in business is proof we've failed to evolve as a species.
1: Thank goodness you don't only care about the graphics. That's always been a thing that most of my friends or family cared most about a game, and it infuriates me.
2: Did not know you can move your CPU controlled warriors like that. Neat!

I've never played Hyrule Warriors and I've always wanted a 3DS version!
Sorry I don't have an actual 3DS capturing device. Those things are dang pricey! I tried to record in a number of environments keeping the device as still as possible, so thank you for your understanding!

+GamesBrained How's the framerate? I played the demo on my new 3DS XL and it wasn't good..
+Pauloz Really? On my New 3DS it was typically 60, only dipping in extremely rare cases.
+GamesBrained not only pricey but they take 7 months to get..
+GamesBrained have you played it on the old 3ds? Cause that's all I have
7:03 YES! God finally someone agrees! This is why I want the 3DS version over the Wii U version! You're probably one of the few reviewers (another being Jim Fucking Sterling, Son) to actually praise the 3DS version and recommend it
This was an excellent review. You deserve more subscribers friend.

This makes me happy that you played older warriors games to compare. Also this review was amazing! I really liked it. This made me want to play this game even more.
this makes me go from "I'm defiantly getting this" to "MOM GIMME SOME MONEY AND DRIVE ME TO GAMESTOP NOOOOOOOWWW" lol
sorry not defiantly definitely
This is the best review I could’ve found!!! Definitely buying now!!!!
Wow, glad to know to this is made easier in some parts, i'm STILL on the original Adventure Mode map, i haven't touched the DLC ones. SO HYPED for this game. Can't wait for Friday of next week.

It's shame that they didn't remake more Zelda games for the DS series of handhelds.
It's also sad that they have discontinued the DS line now, because the Switch Lite just doesn't hit the spot like the DS/3DS did.

I got this yesterday, I literally stayed up all night playing it. I'm so tired...
1Kenny30 are there english version of this game?
Yes
Great review! Very thorough with all the changes talked about, and thank you for not screaming, laughing, playing a bunch of annoying music or having another person on and talking back and forth between you two. It's getting harder and harder to find decent video game reviews on here
I'm in a writing mood anyway, so here's some running commentary, as I watch:
Love that new intro.

I'm glad you enjoyed it buddy! :D
Now see, THIS is the kind of stuff I want to know about when it comes to a game like this in the first place.
I literally just heard about this weeks ago. and its a part of the Zelda franchise like WHAT!? I miss such a hidden gem here.
We need a Fire Emblem Warriors. Like seriously.
that'll be awesome
They probably won't do it because they assume most of the Fire Emblem fanbase like to play turn based rpg games. An action game like this might seems like a too different kind of game.
Make it happen Nintendo for the Nintendo NX.
That would be a DREAM COME TRUE. I would lose my shit if Nintendo made that.
Oh, to hell. I would also buy it XD, for sure.
God, the demo felt so good. Especially playing as Impa, what a brilliant move set! Also this video just made me pre-order a physical copy, thanks!
:)
+Alex Mercer You lucky European (or, person of other nationality with a Japanese 3DS). I can't wait until the demo comes out in the US.
+Kingpinn02 5 days :)
Yep, soooooo cloooose.....!
Link is OP, Impa is my 3rd best trained character and Zelda in the demo... well idl
I love Linkle's voice, hearing her go "yunk" is so adorable.
lol "yunk"
Charlie Geisler yunk.
Phew... I saw this game last week and wasn't really sure if I would buy it. Glad I buyed it, especially after watching this.
Thanks for the review. I was considering buying this for Christmas as I'm getting a N3ds too. I wanted to get a portable version of the game (I don't like taking my n switch out with me) so I'll be sure to buy this
Love the review. It's helped me decide to pick it up next week when it's out in Australia.
Thanks!
I probably spent a good hour at Target playing the first stage of Hyrule Warriors for the Wii U and now I just got it for the 3DS I'm HYPED!!!
Never happier pre-ordering.
Great review, thank you for sharing.
This was a great review! It make me really wanna buy this game, even though I have 300 hours in my HW WII U!!! This video give me the courage to buy HW Legends! (I have a New N3DS so much better experience for me).
My poor 3DS is going to have more than hundreds of hours... R.I.P social life...
You know, I did like you when this video started, and now that you've mentioned PBG, and as exhibit A! I love you now!
+Brian DeCaprio Haha! Glad to hear it ^^
I have been playing this for a few weeks and boy I love the game probably my best ever experience this game is truly awesome
a store near me carries one last copy of the special edition for the 3ds and Im seriously tempted to get it...it's around 43 euros, while the digital version is still 39,99. in any case im downloading the demo rn
I really hope they add a multiplayer function to this game. That would make it perfect.
i do too. i really would like to play with my friends. especially online. and to be able to use the mic to comunicate too.
if they do tht then tht wuld b a N3ds exclusive update. since the old 3ds obviously can barely able to play it at the state tht its in now.
Hyrule Warriors doesn't have to be eye candy
I've shelved my Wii U version. I cannot get over how GOOD the 3DS version is.
Thank You For The Vid! I've Bought this already but its not out yet were i am so i cant play it, but this vid really showed me i didn't waste my money thx again!
After this review I'm so excited about the Switch port you have no ideia
As long as you don't mind the conmstant dropped frames (even on the NN3DS without 3d on) and the smudged and compressed textures which are the textures from the Wii U version down scaled. The only thing this port did that was good was allowing the player to switch between character mid-battle.
Currently downloading this right now. Your review sold me. Thanks man.
Thanks for the review! Can't wait to pick this up tomorrow! :D
i love how the full roster is allready unlocked gonna have a lot of fun wit this game!!! gonna pick it up asap
Ahhh heeeck yeah! This is the kind of port I love, with so much more then the original to bring players back to it over and over.
Thanks for the review, love it!
Thank you so much! :) I'm glad to see people still enjoying this video long into the future after I posted it :)
You were the one that got me hyped over this game. I always wanted to WiiU version but buying a console for 1 or 3 games is a no, no for me so when I got the New 3DS I HAD to buy this game after such a bright recomendation haha. Great game so far. Really cool.
Saw this on Reddit. Good work!
Ok don’t know if this is a problem for everyone but if I play for an hour or longer my game crashes and it deletes my save just get definitive edition
When I pre-ordered the 3DS version, I did not have a Wii U. Now that I do have one, and if the 3DS version really does come with a DLC download code, I may get the Wii U one later down the line.
I have this problem where I REALLY love and enjoy this game... but, I suck at it. Been stuck on the same mission, and just cannot seem to advance
GB I bought HWL a few weeks ago thanks to this review. I wasn't disappointed. Thx man.
+Michael Morris I'm glad to hear it! :D
thank you!! it's available for preorder in the UK and I wasn't sure whether to commit to getting it but I think I will now, especially since I didn't play the Wii U version
Thank god I've waited.
Now there will be a version with more than just 10 enemies on screen at once.
I was debating on getting this, but after this, I really want to. Thank you.
It’s 2022 and I’m going to get this
And then Definitive Edition came out and steam rolled the other two.
Great review 😁
Finally found a review by someone who likes DW and have played the Wii U version extensively as well! Perfect, thanks for the review man.
I'm waiting for part 2 where he talks about Hyrule warriors DX
This is one of best reviews I have seen for this. Thanks. Sites like IGN are trashing it without any real in depth analysis. Can't wait to get it on Friday.
+Mr Cat I suppose now that the novelty has worn off, IGN is ready to go back to treating this just like they've treated any other Warriors game: play it for 2 hours, briefly mention what has changed on a surface level, give it a poor score and move on.
Yeah I'm sure. Their quality has gone down quite a bit over the years. Again I really enjoyed your coverage and can't wait to get this game.
Thanks! I was on the fence, because I love the wii u version, but I now that I see the changes Ill be getting it!
I owned this on Wii U, but i had to get 3DS version too which is impressive considering the hardware.
3DS version unlocks 5 extra characters and a few "fatality" weapons for free on Wii U btw.
I must be the rarest case then, I wouldn't call myself a total Zelda fan, as each time I've tried to get into any of the actual main Zelda titles console or handheld, I've always found myself overwhelmed by how big the world is, not to mention the fact that there's so many sidequests that I really don't know what's worth my time bothering to get in the game in the long-run, and which sidequests are just a huge waste of my time, however I do like the lore of the Zelda universe, and I enjoy the costumes and outfits Nintendo puts in games like Animal Crossing as the Link costume is one of the outfits I wear most since it was introduced in City Folk and onwards, but to be fair it's not that hard to beat another game's lore when the other franchises I pay attention to happens to be the Super Mario series, especially considering what Nintendo has been doing to the Mario RPGs in terms of story lately.
However I do like the gameplay of Hyrule Warriors since it's a bit easier to understand andgetting certain things are a bit more simplified, as I've discovered through this game that hack and slash games are a lot like taking a side scrolling beat em' up (one of my favorite video game genres since I started gaming as a little kid) and turning itnto 3D game, much like the 2D side scroller making the leap to the 3D platformer I see hack and slash as a bit of like that for the 2D side scrolling beat e' up, and yeah closest I've ever gotten to actually playing a Zelda game all the way through, was being the Tingle Tuner for my sister back on the original Gamecube version of the Wind Waker as I stayed with her as long a the game would allow me to help her throughout that game.
Anyway to be honest I'm not much of a fan of Zela outside of it's lore and never played a Dynasty Warriors game as I never owned any non-Nintendo console outside of a Sega Genesis or XBOX 360 or XBOX One, only Playstation games I've played are Kingdom Hearts 1 and Rayman Revolution both for PS2 and I got stuck trying to grind to be so overpowerd because I had reached that one Riku fight in Hallow Bastion not only knowing the stories but getting to see how much of a nightmare it was firsthand by watching my sister play it, eventually the grinding got really boring and I never finished and Rayman Revolution was a former friend of my two sister's game that eventually got too scratched to even use, so yeah since Dynasty Warriors has mostly Playstation games I'd never heard of it. Though despite not being too much of a fan of either series I still found Hyrule Warriors plenty fun, as I said games that are like the beat em' ups I've played are one of my favorite genres and Hyrule Warriors kind of like a 3D version of that.
Anyway would you pretty much call this the definitive version of the game? As you said it's hard to go back to the Wii U version since this pretty much fixes a lot of problems and has new content on top of that as well as all the DLC stuff right out of the box, and it seems to extend the Legend mode beyond what was already in it, as someone who really enjoyed Cia's tale wishing there was still more to add to Legend mode on the Wii U version as well as wishing for a more cinematic additions to Legend mode what you described sounds like I'd njoy having it, after all I kind of felt wanting more additional stuff to the story, and while Cia's Tale was cool and all it just made me wish they had also done other additional DLC to the Legend mode in the other DLC packs that came afterwards, and the fact that I can easily manage a battle and don't have to put up with the unnecessary BS of of cpu controlled player characters getting their asses handed to them and costing me a ton in battles really makes me happy.
Anyway so like I said would you pretty much say Legends is the definitive version of the game? I'm not sure if you would actually go that far saying that or not but due to everything you've said it sounds like that may be the case.
+The #1 Yoshi I will say with utter certainty, for me, Hyrule Warriors Legends is the definitive version.
people that care about the graphics are not real hardcore gamers.. :P
i really dont care
+RandomGingerKing As long as the game is good. Hell, it doesn't even have to be good. I'm not wasting the money I spent
+RandomGingerKing Now that comparison really doesn't work. Obviously good graphics are better, but if the game is good it should also be fine with bad graphics. That comparison especially doesn't work for Hyrule Warriors considering Legends is way better in terms of content.
holy shot. im picking this game up on the 3ds because of this review, thanks.
This is a good thing for me because I live in Brazil and since nintendo isn't operating here anymore you can't buy anything from the wii u store for some reason
Well I think that I've made my final choice of which 3DS game should I pick thanks to your review, I don't really mind for the framerate as long the game is playable and has more stuffs than the Wii U version. I was so happy for this game to be on the 3DS because I don't have a Wii U, I'm a huge Zelda & DW fan for years, so this game won't disappoint me ^_^
I thought very long to choose between FE Fates and HWL, even the game might be slow on my original 3DS, it's still has huge tons of contents and may take over 100-200+ hours than a 1/3 of a game (which can be finish in a couples of days) that I need to pay over 120$ for the full experience... (I live in Canada, everything is way too pricey now)
Good review, haven't seen many other reviews of this game that are not essentially "It's uglier than the Wii-U version, Don't buy". And as a part of the "HW Hundred Hour Club" I appreciate the explanations of the new mechanics, and what has changed.
Lovely review, I intend to show this to as many of my friends as possible!
+Ixbran Thank you so much!
+GamesBrained by the way, what you think of my suggestion regarding Twili Midnas recolor costume in the Legends costume video of yours? you think it makes sense?
+Ixbran I think it's a great choice, but I'm not 100% convinced. The white on the back of Midna's cloak and brown hair matches, plus they're both princesses, but Twilight Princess Zelda's blouse is just such a different color. All the ones I pointed out were a dead ringer for the color choices, but Midna's purple and Zelda's dark pink are totally off. If it were Ocarina Zelda with her purple dress it would make a lot of sense, but in that case the hair color is off again.
GamesBrained
I just find that the colors, while not the same shades, are exactly the same: Purple, White, and brown hair. Really to me what else could it be ya know?
I watched this vid the day before I bought my new 2ds XL. You sold me on this game so I bought it too. Glad I did. So fun!!
Damn... This review has sold me... I didn't realize there was so much to this new game. I was mostly considering it cause I wanted to be able to pick it up and play when I had some time, but I just had no idea this game was so amazing... I definitely still will play the Wii U version for my multiplayer needs, but I somehow doubt I'll be doing much more singleplayer-ing, unless the completionist inside gets a hold of me.
Your review sold me on the Switch version
I watched this while standing at GameStop contemplating whether or not to buy the game......
SOLD!
The Gamestops near me got rid of all Nintendo games other than Switch games a while ago :(
I just realized the music you play in the background is from the bouncy basketball 2 player app XD I knew I recognized it!
It's royalty-free music. Anyone can use it for anything.
GamesBrained ah, that makes a lot of sense.
Thanks for the review.
I am really waiting for this game, but I had some doubts. You just deleted those doubts :p
Digital Foundry wrote that BOTH VERSIONS run at 30 FPS and fail to hit the mark constantly.
Nope.
Actually this port is quite consistent as they point out on their video. But your right, not sure why it was claimed that this is 60fps in this video
+wonderguardstalker TH-cam never forgets. TH-cam never forgives.... a mistake. Sorry, I goofed
+Dux Nihilo You FPS fucks are cancer.
I'd rather be passionate about FPS than passionate about people who are passionate about FPS.
You've earned a new subscriber this day!
Dang. That was a great review. Keep up the good work. I'm definitely getting this.
Thanks for the insight. I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop for a character guide. I never got to play the WiiU version so I'm looking forward to this.
This is the best review I've ever seen. You've sold it to me
Young link is now officially the strongest link not the ocarina of Time on Majora's mask one because he actually owns a freaking nuke
This review addressed all of my concerns, welp, time to go get it tomorrow!
the best review of this game I've seen on all of TH-cam and helps with the decision to buy good review
Thanks GamesBrained. For someone who had planned but never got the time to play the original Hyrule Warriors game, I was wondering if it's even worth it to buy the 3DS port. I was wondering about how the fairies function in the game, and was a little disappointed when the big ender animation to the bosses was cut down to a simplistic version just for the port (makes for a less satisfactory finish to your attacks). But the only thing that get me interested for this game is the real-time character change function, which was present in past Dynasty Warriors 3DS games and in the Dragon Quest Heroes game as well.
For this review, thank you. I will definitely pick up the game when I am able.
Neat review, very fun to watch.
thank you finally a review about the game that sounds fair n informative. I will be getting this game. great job
Thank you for your review. I own the Wii U version and intend to get the 3DS version as well. A pity that the 3DS version does not have multi-player with other 3DS owners of this game, but for the extra content, and adventure mode on the go, it is a trade-off I am willing to make. :)
I got the game yesterday for my birthday I can't wait to play it!
+Alpha Galaxy Cheers! :D
Thank you for this video. I cannot wait to get this game now
This version kicks ass!
I played a lot of the Wii U version off screen, I agree about it being more portable suited.
I am SO glad I got this for my good ol' 3DS, even if I don't have a new 3DS, I still enjoy this game 'course it might lag and doesn't run at 60 fps, but whatevs man, this is the good shit.
To confirm with everyone this game runs pretty good on a old nintendo 3ds xl there is not too big of a frame drop but on the small original 3ds It's kinda bad but not too bad so for those who worried about buying the game for their old gen nintendo 3ds it is still playable I've played on my old 3ds the xl and small one and on the new nintendo 3ds so no worries
It's good to see windwaker getting attention but I'm still waiting for the minnish cap to get something in this.
I have a couple of questions. How hard are the final battles for both the OLOZ (Original Legend of Zelda) Adventure Map and the Great Sea Map? I remember trying the last Adventure Map battle on the Wii-U version a couple of months ago with a Lvl. 95 Link, but found it way to hard, so I decided to level up my Link a bit more before trying again. What level would you suggest the characters be at before tackling the main battles of any of the Adventure Mode maps?
Sounds great,love the changes and additions.Only negative at all is going from 60 to 30 fps in 3D mode which i will have to use.
+Bryan Manning The loss in frames isn't worth it in my opinion. There's not really dramatic 3D features added to the games, if anything it is more implemented in the menus than the battles... But, if you like! :)
Eh,it may be the first 3DS game i have that i don't use the 3D in.That is a big drop.I assume the FPS count is indeed for the New 3DS model and not the OG?
That's all that I can confirm, all I played it on and own is one of the New 3DS models
GamesBrained
Looks like i will have to just live without it.I know its a gimmick to a lot of people but i do enjoy using the 3D because it is so different visually than the norm.The more i think about it the more i can't knowingly cut the framerate in half though so.
Great review and some good info in there.Subbed.
Loved you're review iv never played Legends so thanks for the motivation
