Sister services, email, and search will continue to be negatively effected by the attacks. I made a thread to talk about it, if you're into networking.
Hyrule Warriors is your typical Dynasty Warriors/Musou game except it was made by a team of people being held hostage a gunpoint by Nintendo. So the end result was very playable, largely glitch-free, and of course entertaining as hell. For the uninitiated, Dynasty Warriors/Musou is about playing a legendary soldier in battle and taking on literally thousands of enemies at once. Since the Hyrule Warriors version of the game is somewhat unique I made this topic.
The first version of the game came out on the Wii U and it was pretty great, especially in co-op. In fact it was one of the few Wii U games that was enhanced by the game pad, allowing one player to use the TV and the other to use the pad. Good shit, it was a lot of fun. There was an expanded port of that first game which was released on the Nintendo 3DS and that version was eventually ported over to the Switch as a definitive edition. I never played those, but I hear they were more of the same. Strongly recommend giving the original a try if you're a fan of the Dynasty Warriors/Musou series.
With that said, the Hyrule Warriors series is very much interlocked with its Legend of Zelda inspiration. So you end up with a game that sort of blends the best of both series together and holy shit they ended up with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It's a ton of fun and there are a whole lot of characters to play as.
The big news as of the creation of this topic is that the next game is coming out which I guess formally makes Hyrule Warriors into a series and not just a one-off. Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity is coming to Switch on November 20th on the Nintendo Switch and there is a free demo that you can try out in the Nintendo eShop. You can play the game's first chapter and get a feel for things.
So yeah I think that's the rundown of the game and the series at large. I am pretty excited for Age of Calamity after having played the new demo; the game runs great, looks great and if you know how to play Dynasty Warriors/Musou you're going to pick up your controller and immediately begin wrecking shit.
After running through the Age of Calamity demo I'm completely sold on the game. This is a day one purchase. It's the same great Dynasty Warriors/Musou gameplay plus the Zelda twists. The meta game on the world map looks pretty fun as well, despite not being explored too deeply in the demo. And so far the characters are pretty cool and varied in terms of their powers. I really hope the game has a large scope like the previous one; and considering the premise of the main plot I expect there to be a lot of opportunities to explore different outcomes and branching paths.
If I had any concerns it would be that I am unsure about how many playable characters will be included. With the first Hyrule Warriors they went all out, including all kinds of oddball characters from tons of different Zelda games. Heck, they even had a new non-Zelda character named Volga that should become an honorary Zelda character, he was that good. I just hope that there's a lot of goofy stuff included as extras outside of the game's canon.
Oh and that's the other neat thing. This game is considered canon and is the prequel to Breath of the Wild. Though I suspect what we played in Breath of the Wild was the "true" timeline and that this game will offer us a modified timeline where we can "fix" things and save the future. But I'm going to stop before Trunks shows up. Hit the poll!
