In an interview with 4gamer.net, and translated by Perfect-Nintendo.com, the producer of Hyrule Warriors Legends, Yosuke Hayashi, has revealed some new information about the game.
To begin with, the 3D feature in Hyrule Warriors Legends will be restricted to only the New 3DS models. Older 3DS models will not be able to use the 3D function because of CPU restrictions. In order to optimize the game on the older 3DS models, the 3D mode needed to be turned off.
Amiibo support will be in Hyrule Warriors Legends. What specific amiibos and their features was not revealed. I would expect the amiibo support to be the same as in Hyrule Warriors on Wii U.
All of the DLC offered in Hyrule Warriors so far will be included in Hyrule Warriors Legends. Yosuke Hayashi did not say if more DLC would come down the road, but the team would consider it if there is a demand for more DLC. The challenge mode currently in Hyrule Warriors for Wii U will not be included due to the screen size being too small.
Finally, Yosuke Hayashi mentions that development is almost complete, and they are working on polishing the game.
Are you excited for Hyrule Warriors Legends? I never played the Wii U version and am looking forward to Legends.
Well, at least that’s an additional reason to get a New 3DS. Need to make something exclusive. So far only Xenoblade needs a New 3DS, no? Not so sure a lot of exclusive titles are gonna make their way to it.
OldManStauf78 Xenoblade Chronicles and a couple of indie titles require the New model, if I’m not mistaken. When I first saw the leaked trailer for Hyrule Warriors Legends, I figured the whole game would require the New 3DS. Odd that it’s just the 3D effect.
Aeroweth OldManStauf78 I guess they are just trying to strike a balance. It’s a tough sell to fork out another $200 on another handheld for an exclusive game. Especially when there is not much else exclusive to it. At the same time, they want people to buy Hyrule Warriors Legends and the install base of “old” 3DSs is already there.
