Hyrule Warriors producer on mixing Zelda with Dynasty Warriors, Zelda being playable, more strong females in the game
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Polygon has published a few new quotes from Yosuke Hayashi, development producer of Hyrule Warriors. Hayashi discussed the mixture of the Zelda franchise and Dynasty Warriors series, and Zelda herself being playable in the game. Head past the break for his remarks.
“We look[ed] for actions, Zelda-like actions or actions that players would know from Zelda games and figure out ways to put them into what they’re doing within Hyrule Warriors. So they’re not puzzles, but you still want to open up a treasure chest. You don’t pick things up to take them to another place to solve a puzzle, but you can pick up a bomb and throw bombs. And we have the sounds that players are familiar with, little elements here and there that make it feel like a natural Zelda game, but gameplay-wise it still fits within the Dynasty Warriors franchise style.”

Splatoon producer likens the game’s paint shooting to vandalism
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Shooting paint in Splatoon is “sort of like vandalism”, producer Hisashi Nogami told Polygon.
He said:
“Just talking about shooting paint, it’s sort of like vandalism. If we were all in this room and someone came in and said OK guys make this room as messy as you want, you’d probably get really happy and like, destroy things! I think people still have that child-like feeling of wanting to make a mess, wanting to get dirty. I think they would be able to enjoy this game. And I think people have that no matter how old they get.”
