According to the official Hyrule Warriors Twitter account, the game will not offer online co-op. Players will only be able to experience co-op play locally.

What this means for online play is currently unclear. The thought was that Hyrule Warriors will offer Internet functionality of some kind, but co-op is definitely ruled out now. I suppose we’ll see very soon!

An official Japanese page for Hyrule Warriors shares a bit more about the Wii U game.

First, as many had anticipated, online play is now officially confirmed. The wording on the page suggests that a unique mode is being prepared for those who intend to play over the Internet.

Aside from a brief mention of online support, Nintendo also confirms the automatic posting of your play status to Miiverse and the ability to purchase DLC (this was a given based on the costumes we’ve heard about).

Lastly, Hyrule Warriors supports 1 save file per user. Oh, and the game’s file size weighs in at 7.8GB.

Capcom sales are down for the quarter ending June 30, 2014. In its financial report published today, the company noted that net sales dipped to 9.57 billion yen ($93 million, £55.1 million). That’s a decrease of 45.1 percent from the previous year.

Net income also dropped from 828 million yen ($8 million, £4.7 million) the previous year to 765 million yen ($7.4 million, £4.4 million).

Why the downturn? Capcom believes the decrease in sales can be attributed to “a lack of new major titles.”

Fortunately, today’s news isn’t entirely disappointing for Capcom. Operating income actually rose by 75.3 percent year-over-year for an increase of 1.26 billion yen ($12.2 million, £7.2 million). Monster Hunter Frontier GG also “performed steadily with major update.”

Capcom says the company is “on track to achieve full-year forecasts with improving profitability” with a desire to improve earnings by “reducing the cost of sales.”

Like most Wii U games, Hyrule Warriors will be available both at retail and on the eShop. If you opt for the latter option, keep in mind that the title is a 7.8GB download.

Hyrule Warriors is a pretty big game. However, it’s not quite as large as some of the other Wii U titles out there such as Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
