Hyrule Warriors

I'm totally in for Skull Kid and Linkle! :) Now I think if also begging for Vaati would be already too much for my heart...
 
This looks quite promising. Hopefully it will be able to run on an old 3ds without any serious lag.

They said it will run without problem, only that the 3D will be off due the massive characters on screen.
 
I mean...
The Wii U version lags even in single player.
3DS version will most likely lag.

Really? :confused: I didn't know that. I've seen a few walkthroughs of this game in Youtube and not a single one of them showed any lag, ever. Are you sure is not a matter of battery of something else?

It's in stages where there are a ton of enemies on the field, or when skill effects start piling up too much. I wouldn't say it's game-breaking lag, at least not what I've experienced. The 3DS version already has very few enemies on the screen, all models are pretty low poly, and the higher quality effects for special skills have been reduced. There probably will be some lag, but it's not from a lack of trying on their part. Only time will tell, though.

Oh... then ok, let's cross fingers for luck. To me, after I suffered the incredible lag of 7fps playing Twilight Princess in dolphin, nothing can get any worse than that. So even if there is a small lag in HW, I definitely won't be complaining :)

I will never be 7fps, there will be lag for sure but they are only some framerate drops, the game stays at the same pace despite that though.
 
Everytime I see Linkle, I like more! :) Also nice to know there will be one more fairy to add to the bunch! But Skull Kid... argh, I can't wait to play with him!
 
Game releases next week for those in the west so I thought I'd bump this thread.

Also, not sure if it was said in the direct, but the DLC for the 3DS version has been announced on the EU website in more detail. First off, there are 3 different packs you can buy, a seasonal pass for just the 3DS, a seasonal pass for just the Wii U, or a pass for both (of course, you can also buy the DLC individually). It's a lengthy article, so I'll post the relevant information, and then link to it below;

You can also buy a pack to get all the 3DS characters on the Wii U without having to buy the 3DS version. A very good solution for those who don't want the 3DS version. You literally get the exact same content, minus the WW Adventure Map and the new Linkle SL in Story Mode. Medli is also free to download.

Commence arguing over who should be the character for the Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks pack: Zelda or Linebeck.
I'm kinda blanking on who or what they could add from Link's Awakening, apart from another Link. Which I hope they don't do.
I'm hoping the Link Between Worlds characters are Hilda and Ravio.
I know Ravio would be another Link of sorts, but I feel he'd be different enough from the other 3.
 
I don't have the Wii U version yet, but I played the demo of the 3DS one and loved it. Now I wonder which version I should get. I do have a New 3DS, so hopefully no lag problems, but it's the normal version (not XL) and I worry that it will be a pain to play for a few hours with the small screens. On the other hands, the 3DS version feels kind of fresh to me and I feel like I will miss out on new content if I get the Wii U version (although that's probably not true because of the "3DS pack" for the Wii U game that Jake. mentioned, which sounds pretty great?).

Which game would you all prefer?
 
The 3DS version will have more content than the Wii U one. All the Adventure Maps that are gonna be released on the 3DS with this DLC won't be coming to the Wii U. The only thing the Wii U version has that the 3DS one doesn't (and won't) have is the Challenge Mode, which also has some DLC additions.

So if you're afraid of missing out on new content, the 3DS one is the way to go. But there's still some content you'll miss out on, regardless of which version you pick.

I don't think the difference in screen size also means a difference in how long a N3DS player can play compared to a N3DSXL player. HW was a game I played in short bursts anyway, so I feel it lends itself well to the 3DS platform.
