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
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.
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!
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.
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.
+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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION READ THIS POST Sorry I haven't been answering all the questions out there, there have been some repeats but I just can't keep up with how fast they've been coming in. I'm going to address the most common right now. *How does it run on the original 3DS?* I can't say. My first 3DS was a N3DS. If you own a Pre-N3DS, I really suggest you download the demo available for free on the Nintendo eShop and see how it plays. I've heard from people who say that it's fine, I've heard from people who say that it was too low for them. Don't just assume either because other people said so, see for yourselves with the demo! *Does it really run at 60 fps on the New 3DS?* No, it doesn't. I was mistaken on this. Slowdown has happened in extremely rare cases, but I've never had it really affect the gameplay too negatively. Still, it can happen. *Do all of the new costumes (from the Wind Waker adventure) transfer to the Wii U?* No, they don't. Only Ganondorf's trident, Skull Kid, Linkle, Toon Link, Tetra, and the King of Hyrule themselves transfer. *Is (specific costume) available in this version?* Unless it was a pre-order only thing on Wii U, I can pretty much confirm this. I haven't unlocked everything yet, but I can confirm some DLC only costumes, like the Skyward Sword Link/Zelda/Ganondorf are in the game, so it would make sense the others are too. *When you control multiple characters, can other characters get hurt while I'm playing?* *And, does that damage affect your rank in the adventure mode battles?* Yes, the other characters can take damage. Usually this is extremely small, but one good thing about the player change system is if you see one of your controllable allies is close to death, you can take control of them and go look for healing by cutting grass, etc. Also, the damage your controllable allies take while NOT in your control doesn't affect your adventure mode rank. They've got to be in your control for it to count. *Anything else?* Yes, I forgot to mention two big things in this review. First, I forgot to say that there is no challenge mode. No playing as Beast Ganon or the Giant Cucco. Not a big loss in my opinion. Second, I forgot to mention the new Wind Waker content in greater detail. There are 2 new maps to play on, one based on WW's Outset Island and one based on WW's Earth Temple. Also, there are 2 new bosses, the Helmaroc King and Phantom Ganon. Both of these are done very well, and in retrospect I suppose it is good that I didn't mention them because that is a bit spoilerish to go into everything about the fight. Enjoy fighting them when you get to them! Thanks for all the responses everybody, it's been a rush.
+GamesBrained Thank you so much for this video review! I was very on the fence about purchasing this game. But hearing you speak about how the game runs, what the features this game holds, and the newly added content, exclusive from the Wii U version, has convinced me on acquiring the game after all. Now I'm not sure what I should do with my Wii U version, since I completed Story mode, but I've yet to even finish the first map of Adventure mode, lol (RIP $20).
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.
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).
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.
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...
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.
+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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
+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 needed a new 3ds game (going to the in laws for mothers day weekend - boring!!lol)..watched this video and u sold me hands down. no other review needed. subscribed.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
+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
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!
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.
I've never played Hyrule Warriors and I've always wanted a 3DS version!
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.
I love this review! It made me even MORE excited for the game!
+Omar Dajani Thanks, I'm glad :)

IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION READ THIS POST
Sorry I haven't been answering all the questions out there, there have been some repeats but I just can't keep up with how fast they've been coming in. I'm going to address the most common right now.
*How does it run on the original 3DS?*

+GamesBrained Is the demo just for japan?
+NitroCharizard No, it should be out in all regions now. I know it is in the USA

Currently downloading this right now. Your review sold me. Thanks man.
Just bought a 3ds and ordered a used copy of this game. Seems like I made a good choice. Awesome review. Definitely got me excited for this game!!
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.
Love the review. It's helped me decide to pick it up next week when it's out in Australia.
Thanks!
Well after seeing this I must say: I'm sold :D
+sarasarinski2 Yay! :)
+Vena 17 days left then for you guys :)
+GamesBrained so hyped!!! #8Days
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 :(
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...
Saw this on Reddit. Good work!
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
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 was debating on getting this, but after this, I really want to. Thank you.
Great review, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the review! Can't wait to pick this up tomorrow! :D
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.
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.
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.
After this review I'm so excited about the Switch port you have no ideia
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
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
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
the best review of this game I've seen on all of TH-cam and helps with the decision to buy good review
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!!!

This is the best review I've ever seen. You've sold it to me
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
i love how the full roster is allready unlocked gonna have a lot of fun wit this game!!! gonna pick it up asap
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 literally just heard about this weeks ago. and its a part of the Zelda franchise like WHAT!? I miss such a hidden gem here.
holy shot. im picking this game up on the 3ds because of this review, thanks.
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.
Dang. That was a great review. Keep up the good work. I'm definitely getting this.
This review addressed all of my concerns, welp, time to go get it tomorrow!
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!
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.
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!
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!!
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.
thank you finally a review about the game that sounds fair n informative. I will be getting this game. great job
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
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 a really well done review!
You've earned a new subscriber this day!
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
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 for the review.
I am really waiting for this game, but I had some doubts. You just deleted those doubts :p
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
Your review sold me on the Switch version
I'll take your word for it and buy it! I liked what I heard and what I saw!
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.
Neat review, very fun to watch.
Thank you for this video. I cannot wait to get this game now
I've shelved my Wii U version. I cannot get over how GOOD the 3DS version is.
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.
Thanks! Your review definitely helped make my decision
Loved you're review iv never played Legends so thanks for the motivation
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)
Great review think you helped me decide on whether I am going to get this game or not :)
Never happier pre-ordering.
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.
how do I unlock all of the other adventure mode maps? I completed legend mode but it only gave me one adventure mode map
I'm waiting for part 2 where he talks about Hyrule warriors DX
It’s 2022 and I’m going to get this
sick review I'm sold.
Great review I want this game now
Nice review. Now I am sure I pick this up.
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.
And then Definitive Edition came out and steam rolled the other two.
Great review 😁
Nice review. I think I'm convinced.
really good review.
Thank you!
Excellent review!!
Thanks for this dude great vid I'm subscribing
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.
I am not going to lie this is the review that convinced me to buy this game
I needed a new 3ds game (going to the in laws for mothers day weekend - boring!!lol)..watched this video and u sold me hands down. no other review needed. subscribed.
you actual made me want to buy this game, so thanks
I got the game yesterday for my birthday I can't wait to play it!
+Alpha Galaxy Cheers! :D
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.
Thank you for this great review.
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
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
