Yes, but there was no confirmation of it in the trailer.

Jeez people the post that sparked this was a humorous jab about an indie dev making zelda a major playable character how did it turn into this?
Necrodancer can be a pretty tough game, even for the rhythmically inclined. Curious if this will be more narrative-focused and ease players in a bit more leniently. Not saying it has to be a cakewalk, of course.
Phantom Hourglass, according to the rest of the thread, unless people were mistaking it for Spirit Tracks? I've seen people say both of them in here. I only got to the final dungeon and never finished it so I was taking their word as more knowledgable, I assume you play as her during the final battle or something. But even if she isn't, subtracting one game from that list doesn't really make the argument any different at all. She's been playable multiple times across multiple games in multiple genres from multiple developers. It didn't take an indie dev to finally do anything that hadn't already been done, the statement even as a joke is still factually wrong.
How did it turn into this? Read the thread. It's ridiculous (and yes I'm also lumping myself into that as well)Jeez people the post that sparked this was a humorous jab about an indie dev making zelda a major playable character how did it turn into this?
I mean, the 'jab' basically wound down to something like "It's taken Disney purchasing Fox to finally make a movie with X-Men characters in it" because the Fox movies aren't part of the MCU or made with the supervision of Marvel Studios.
Obviously, more playable Zelda is great, and I definitely am excited to play Cadence of Hyrule - and Zelda likely will be the first character I play it with - and the notion of having more games with Zelda as a playable character is something that should be pursued, including the mainline Zelda games. There could've been a multitude of jabs taken at the expense of Nintendo's reluctance to use the titular character of the Zelda series as its main protagonist.
Hyrure Warrios wasn't like this?I still don't understand how this is a thing.
I need an interview with the devs to explain how this came to be. This is fascinating to me. Like, we've had Indies show up in things like Smash, we've had smaller but still established devs have their own shot at Nintendo IP but I don't think we've had something like this before, where a small indie team basically gets to make their own Zelda X *their IP*.

Spike Chunsoft published Necrodancer in Japan, so they probably have rights for this sequel. Also... they published Witcher 3 in Japan? I didn't know they published large games like that. Lots of big Western RPGs on their page.
They almost certainly did a big chunk of the development here. Their role as publisher of Necromancer 1 and developer of other Nintendo roguelikes is a perfect mix for this project.
I never know about Crypt of the Necromancer before.
So I go looking for the price and it's only 4 dollars on Xbox and ps4, but 20 on switch.
Why so much difference? I prefer to play on switch, so I will waiting for a price drop. But seriously, these price differences sometimes kill buying games on switch for me.
Doesn't the Switch version include all the DLCs?The most likely answer there is because it's newer on Switch. Crypt of the Necrodancer was already years old on other platforms by the time it was on Nintendo's platform.
Makes sense. I still think it's weird that Nintendo isn't publishing this title feat Zelda characters but given Spike Chunsoft probably got the rights to publish NecroDancer and any sequels that came, it fits.Spike Chunsoft published Necrodancer in Japan, so they probably have rights for this sequel.

The Musou series isn't a small IP like NecroDancer is. They're also both Japanese companies that had good relationships and cross-overs before that point.
That's also a good point.
I dunno if that analogy really works. Disney literally couldn't make X-Men movies before buying Fox. Or do you mean "It's taken Disney buying Fox for a movie [from any studio] featuring the X-Men to be made""? Cause Nintendo has absolutely nothing stopping them from making Zelda games where Zelda herself is playable. They just need to do it more and their previous excuses for why they haven't are fuckin' dumb.I mean, the 'jab' basically wound down to something like "It's taken Disney purchasing Fox to finally make a movie with X-Men characters in it" because the Fox movies aren't part of the MCU or made with the supervision of Marvel Studios.
IIRC this also isn't true, the series director has said in interviews he wants to make a stealth game featuring Sheik, hasn't he (or was it someone else on the Zelda team? I know it was someone)? Or do you mean like the upper level people who give the green light to projects have no interest?I'm not suggesting that Nintendo is maliciously keeping Zelda out of her games, I'm suggesting that they have no interest it, less interest than the designers they're working with outside of Nintendo anyway.
WOW that's a big get for the devs! Congrats to them.
I love that Nintendo is opening up they're IP to indie companies now. Hope we get to see more collaborations like maybe a certain racer being paired with Shin'en
I like how the trailer used Tal Tal Heights' theme AKA the Superior Zelda Overworld Theme
It is amazing.

I think that was Retro Studios. That said, I'm 100% sure that there are people who work in Nintendo divisions who want this, but I'm skeptical that we will see the powers that be make that happen.
I edited my post but you were too quick! Miyamoto talked about it in an interview a while back:I think that was Retro Studios. That said, I'm 100% sure that there are people who work in Nintendo divisions who want this, but I'm skeptical that we will see the powers that be make that happen.
left handed also, the best
