We recently news regarding Nintendo's teamup with the famous Dynasty Warriors team, Tecmo Koei, and their epic creation, Hyrule Warriors, went up a few days ago. Not only will the game feature Link battling dozens upon dozens of enemies at once, something he isn't really known for, but it will also have a 2-player local co-op mode (not really known for that either)!
Many Legend of Zelda fans out there have been waiting in anticipation for news on the next (new, not remake) Zelda title on Wii U. Would it be a remake of Majora’s Mask, or possibly a darker themed sequel like Twilight Princess? From what we were shown from today’s Nintendo Direct, I don’t believe anyone had expected this: a combination of both Legend of Zelda and Dynasty Warrior all in one.
There seems to be a trend these days in the handheld scene. It involves teaming up with buddies to take down large monsters in epic fashion. With the release of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate coming next month, and Soul Sacrifice not long after, the tradition is running strong. I'm not complaining, it means more cooperative action for fans of the genre to be a part of.
Good tidings come from ancient China to those who love a good hack-n'-slash. Everyone's favorite Chinese mob masher will return with the next exciting entry titled Dynasty Warriors 8. As we inch closer to the Japanese February 28th release date, Famitsu has recently confirmed six playable characters, and "on-off" two-player co-op. What this means exactly is not clear. It may refer to a combination of offline and online co-op, or drop-in and drop-out co-op.
Ninja Gaiden fans will be happy to know that the Wii U no longer has exclusivity to Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. Tecmo Koei has announced that Razor’s Edge will soon arrive on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles this spring!
From the looks of things, Pokémon has taken another shift in its gameplay. Nintendo’s upcoming 3DS title, Pokémon Conquest, is looking much like a Final Fantasy Tactics rather than the normal Turn-based RPG we have grown rather accustomed to.
Not being able to understand Japanese doesn’t prevent us from looking at a trailer of One Piece: Pirate Warriors and smelling some potential co-op action in the works.
