Do you remember that we used to cover E3? We actually started this blog by doing that, but we stopped because less interesting stuff was floating by as time went on. There have been a few eye catching things, though, so have a couple.
P4A2: Bear puns make me happy. This is mostly things you’ve seen, but in English this time. The brief gameplay you see here is what you’ve come to expect from previous trailers and P4A1. It’s good to see returning voice actors, but I was hoping to hear the voice actors Yukari, Junpei, and Ken to see if they’ve kept their originals. I would be surprised if Ken, but the other two are up in the air.
So we’re going with Hyrule Warriors for the title. Makes sense. What you should take away from this is the reveal of playable characters because gameplay wise, it’s a Musou game. If you’ve played one, this will be that with tweaks and hopefully open maps and not rooms and corridors. We have a Link, of course, a Zelda, an Impa I think, and Midna with TP Wolf Link. That last one is the most encouraging because it means we may get an original mode with all kinds of characters from any possible game. I still want my LttP era Ganon, Koei. Let me shoot fiery bats at people! Or at least pull in some really obscure character like Richard.
And this just amuses me because ANIME! I’ve never really thought about how anime Smash Bros. is, but lasers and final smashes and all that. This is the intro trailer for Palutena, the goddess from Kid Icarus who is as fair game a character as anyone else. I can’t really speak to how she’ll play or the effectiveness of her moves having always been in the “hit buttons or something” party in Smash Bros., but we probably need to wait until we know if the game is going to go beyond that mentality. Still, ANIME! I did like the way they introduced Little Mac, but I would have loved to have seen the super anime version. And it would have been all traced over Ippo .gifs, and that would have been totally sweet.
I’ll let you know if anything else fun comes up. Come on Persona 4: Dancing All Night trailer! I know you don’t come out here until next year, but come on!
