One game that some of you may have missed out on is Hyrule Warriors. We found out in the recent Nintendo Direct that it is coming to the Nintendo Switch as Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. The game features 29 playable characters and also sees the return of the Challenge Mode. It also allows you to have the ability to switch between characters on the battlefield. The game is currently 95% complete, which is good news as it’s due out in Japan soon. Here’s the message from the producer Yosuke Hayashi:
“It was announced during a Nintendo Direct a few days ago, but Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition will be released on Nintendo Switch on March 22 in Japan.
This title will include both Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends with all additional content. We’ve been receiving a lot of requests from our fans that they “want to play Hyrule Warriors on Nintendo Switch,” so we’re able to realize this project.
We’ve tuned the game for Nintendo Switch, upgraded the graphics to full HD, and adjusted the balance so that the game becomes easier to play.
Furthermore, it will also have new features like additional costumes from Breath of the Wild and Joy-Con share play.
This is truly the ultimate Hyrule Warriors, so to both players who have never played it and those who have experienced the game, please kindly play this.”
Thank you mister
Definitely will buy it.
It wasn’t full HD before…?
Oh well. I’ll get this because I missed out the first time and having all the DLC included is definitely worth full price. The DLC is expensive as fuck getting all of it separately.

I bought the Wii U version + DLC, bought the 3DS version + DLC, so far into the hole with this one why not throw in another $60, sure.
Steep, man
I will finally be purchasing this. Ill most likely play through it for the story and re sell like i did with fire emblem warriors .Musou games aren’t really my thing
Thanks btw. I got Fire Emblem Warriors from ebay for half the price and am loving it. I got Hyrule Warriors on my Wii U already but I kinda want it for switch so… I guess ebay again.
Lol no problem, us gamers have to look out for one another right
Never picked this up on the Wii U, but always meant to. This is a day one purchase, 100%.
For some reason i enjoyed more Fire Emblem Warriors, loved changing characters in the middle of the game.
Let us transfer data or no sell.
Probably my the game I sunk the most hours in to on my Wii u. I’m so down to waste hundreds of hours of my life again
All I ask for is either Mikau, Sidon, or a generic male zora, with Darmani, Yunabo, or a generic goron respectively.
I still don’t get why port this for the second time? Didn’t the same folks feel cheated when the 3DS had theirs barely a year later with all content and then some for only $40?
Yeah, Nintendo had a nasty habit of making their must-have games for Wii U available on its spoiled cousin 3DS after using the former as a guinea pig. Funnily enough, the 3DS more often than not got the WORSE version (HW Legends barely functioned, Super Mario Maker for 3DS couldn’t even upload levels online thus defeating the entire purpose, etc.)
Oh, here’s a little RECENT article for you to enjoy about PSN’s “superior” online you jackass.

Ignore that last reply. I hit the wrong comment for it. BTW, I could care less about those ports because 1. I don’t remotely find myself interested in Hyrule Warriors and 2. I know about the 3DS’s lack of level sharing which made everybody stratch their heads to why they port that game if they don’t think the Pii U port would sell but then remove the one thing that gave the game a sense of replayability: Level sharing. So I decided not to care. I know you would also mention Yoshi’s Wooly World but that game caught my eye and I tried the demo and found myself surprised that it looks and runs almost identical as Pii U so I was gonna buy it eventually. I know it kinda bothers you to see Wii U ports on Switch but..who gives a shit about Wii U in the first place? It didn’t even peak 14 million at the end of it’s life for God’s sake.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Hyrule Warriors 2 by now.
I’d really like online or at least local multiplayer. If there isn’t, I won’t be buying it again. I’ll just play splitscreen with my bro-in-law. Already have it for Wii U and then FE Warriors as well.
There’s split screen multiplayer. Not sure about Online.
Exactly.
I wish they added more characters to this version,but it doesn’t seem to be the case unfortunatly
I still need a way to transfer my data, otherwise no buy for me. I probably spent a few months just grinding alone and I’d rather not start from scratch,
Absolutely nothing new but two costumes…. If they charge dlc for this again I”ll boycotting techmo because they are scamming people.
I’m glad more people will be able to play the game if they want to on a system that totally deserves the game, but as for a Day-1 adopter of the Wii U original who bought all the DLC and spent several hours leveling up my warriors, I think I’ll stick with what I got.
I remember being disappointed with the small amount of playable characters in the Wii U version (not counting the DLC characters, which I never downloaded).
I so cannot wait to buy this! I own Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U and was going to get the 3DS version but people warned me to only buy it on 3DS if I own a New Nintendo 3DS and since I did not, I skipped it so for me, this is fantastic!
This is good for people not having bought one of the previous versions; for the rest, it would be better if they were releasing a new version instead of a port. Having leveled up many of my characters and having only finished four maps so far, I will not start from scratch again.
I paid 500 MXn of fucking DLC, now you’re telling me the game I have is forever incomplete? Suck a dick.
Is it too much to hope the animations for stuff like scarves, dresses, & overskirts actually flow more naturally when Zelda or Link run around? That was always a problem I had with the original game. Other games in the Warriors franchise definitely have much better animations for stuff like that. But hey! Booty…err… BotW Zelda costume! :D lol
A shame the Champions will get fucked over & be turned into alternate costumes for other characters instead of being kickass playable characters with their own unique movesets… :/
