Hayashi explains the roles of Omega Force, Team Ninja, and Nintendo in Hyrule Warriors’ development
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Three different companies contributed to Hyrule Warriors to make the game possible. Omega Force and Team Ninja, two subsidiaries under Koei Tecmo, created the project directly. Nintendo also helped out in some capacity.
But what exactly was each company’s function? We now know courtesy of producer Yosuke Hayashia, who divulged to ONM this month:
Omega Force were kind enough to create the “basic Dynasty Warriors style gameplay”, Team Ninja made the “one-on one” and “boss battles” sections for us, and Nintendo gave us the “understanding required for the Zelda series”. As we were using the Zelda IP, Nintendo did detailed checks at the beginning of development, but what really stood out from a developmental perspective was Nintendo’s constant encouragement to “take a freer approach in the creation process”.
