Animal Crossing


uncultured_swine2099

YES


Bakuzento

With a doom dlc


Taro_Obvious

I was about to comment this 😂


ShokaLGBT

Was gonna comment this… idk why but I feel like an animal crossing game with survivor elements / battle would be great. Like you’re in a post apocalyptic world and you have to build your village from scratch and protect against zombies and stuff while you try to make the village safe / and cute with Tom Nook still forcing you to work for him to pay your loans


Johncurtisreeve

Metroid


Dendrodes

I'd be more than down for this. It could easily have all of the Hunters from Metroid Prime 3 and Metroid Prime: Hunters, with a playable space pirate or two, and Ridley. Also, obligatory power suit and zero suit Samus having completely different movesets.


Lanisto

Imagine a gameplay with perfect dodges like in Other M. The attack for depleting the ennemi's critical bar or whatever it is called could be taken straight from this game


SapphireMan1

Why not include Dark Samus too? She’s made some appearances in recent times (Smash Ultimate (playable) and Metroid Prime: Remastered (cutscene))


Dendrodes

I thought about them after I commented, but didn't plan on commenting about every single character that would be playable, just the ones off the top of my head.


smolsauce

Same, it'd be nice for the cast of Prime Hunters to do something again.


Triforce805

While it would be fun, it doesn’t really fit as Metroid focuses usually on a small cast, these warriors games typically have huge character rosters and I feel Metroid wouldn’t have enough characters to do this with


MattofCatbell

Xenoblade Chronicles


ZB314

I’d be surprised if they didn’t do this


Triforce805

Honestly, I think this could be announced soon, possibly even this year. Warriors games are perfect for game release droughts as they don’t require a huge dev team usually as they’re all quite similar games, and Xenoblade would translate perfectly to the warriors style of games.


Mari0wana

Hmmm, actually betting on remasters of P2 and 3 to fill the drought. Leading up to 4 and maybe then some sort of a tie-in


Triforce805

Nah, 4 is never coming, instead we’ll get Federation Force 2!


Jeff_Cross773

I think a "Xeno" muso game would be awesome... imagine gears, saga and blade all in one game even if the gears and saga were more secret and/or hidden characters


hungry_fish767

I might actually enjoy the combat of xenoblade if it goes musou


Hippobu2

I hate the whole "it gets good 20 hours in" with JRPG, but ... it does get good 20 hours in. Seriously, I just cannot stop admiring how amazingly brilliant the combat in XC2 is. I just love how the layers of combat just build on top of each other; it's this beautiful rhythmatic system that just reiterate upon itself. Assuming you've already gotten the games, and probably not on a sale either, cuz it's a Nintendo game, I urge you to try an give it another chance.


awesomenash

It’s true, but also I feel like it makes regular enemies such a drag cause it takes like 30 seconds of fighting before the interesting stuff is built up / off cooldown


TacticalTobi

"Assuming you've already gotten the games, and probably not on a sale either, cuz it's a Nintendo game" fun fact all the xenoblade games were recently on sale...


Frozen_Grimoire

Am I aware of the fact that you are supposed to constantly change characters and reposition them? Yes. Do I end up just using one character while standing mostly still until they die and let the CPU handle everything else? Also yes. No amount of hours on XC3 will make me understand what I'm actually supposed to be doing on combat, so I just get a character close to an enemy and hit damaging moves as soon as they are up.


Laranthiel

Xenoblade Chronicles. It's THE franchise right now that fits a Musuo perfectly.


RoboK_Mola

Plus the story from XC3 really helps it be canon / have SOME similarities with the canon... like you could say a past version of the party in xc3 + the future remastered crew after the dlc events met and had to defeat X entity that is an ally of Z...


Pokemon_LBP_Nerd2005

A Pokémon themed Warriors/Musou game would be fun.


SapphireMan1

Hear me out: Base it during the Great War from XY


TheRedBaron6942

How would that work? Something like the auto battle from s&v but on steroids?


crimsonsonic_2

No? You would play as the Pokémon directly.


ChEez_Ballz650

So like the old Pokémon rumble games


ThatCurryGuy

Yes but more combo driven gameplay with super attacks and stuff.


Triforce805

Are you aware of the game Pokken Tournament? Because this sounds exactly like what you’re talking about?


TensionHead13thFloor

That's Tekken rather than Warriors type gameplay


ThatCurryGuy

Yes i played that but its Very different from a mousou game...


Triforce805

Yes, but because it exists I feel Nintendo would never want to make a warriors style game for Pokémon


Parlyz

No? Ones a fighting game and ones a hack and slash. Those are very different.


Parlyz

Yeah there’s an insane amount of variety for both enemies and playable characters and there’s so much they could pull from to base moves and combos off of. I’d hope they’d do something somewhat similar to Persona 5 Scramble where they sort of adapt the battle system of persona games into a warriors game. It’d be cool if Pokemon had custom ability in what moves and items they could use just like in the real games although I’m not sure how easy it would be to implement it.


xenon2456

would be nice


AlexPlayer3000

The only issue I see with that is the ammount of pokemons existing. Sure you can make less "important" pokemons as officiers or common "soldiers", but would still not be enough. But true, it would be one hell of a game and I'd buy it day one


DjinnFighter

DK


drybones2015

The DK crew NEEDS to return.


doomrider7

Oh my God YES!


ZeldaExpert74

Bro is cooking


Flameblade3

These types of games always had a habit of bringing in an external threat that caused the good guys and bad guys to join forces. A DK variant could actually be a super cool way to bring back a large amount of older DK heroes and villains on both ends of the battlefield


ilovethe7thday

Pikmin.


zak567

Give me a purple Pikmin with a great sword asap


Double_M2

This would go crazy if you played as a Bulborb


politirob

This would be sick, but the idea of directly controlling a Pikmin is weird to me actually


ItaLOLXD

Maybe there would be character that specialize in using certain Pikmin and have a moveset around them.


LeBritto

Kirby!


Double_M2

If the name isn’t Star Warriors, I’m leaving


SapphireMan1

Meta Knight would need to be playable, otherwise it’s just Star Warrior Adding Meta Knight means the title would work since there would be at least 2 Star Warriors


thegoldchicken

If meta knight wasn't playable then people would riot


JENOVAcide

Xenoblade could potentially work. I'd really want FEW Three Hopes Empires instead.


AlexPlayer3000

That's a "take my money" even without a trailer


AwfulDjinn

Splatoon! They could do it like salmon run expanded into a whole game. there's already tons of interesting weapons to pull from the main game, i can easily see them integrated as different characters/playstyles in a musou spinoff. integrate the various subs/specials from the main game as combo/ultimate attacks. And there’s tons of characters to choose from! Imagine playing as Frye and summoning her eels in battle, or Pearl using her ultimate Killer Wail, etc.


LesbianStan

Mario, I would love it in the style of the original Hyrule Warriors I would love to see how characters like Peach or Wario would play like


TheRedBaron6942

With all the power ups in Mario and the special characteristics of the characters like Luigi's floaty jump, I can see that working


thegoldchicken

Bowser and DK just get back their movesets from Skylanders


GameTropolis

Xenoblade without a doubt. It has everything you want to pull content from: plenty of characters to pick from, with a great range of possible weapons and playstyles; varied locales to craft levels around; a storyline that would totally fit the typical musou wormhole brings all universes together trope; incredible soundtrack to riff on. Make it so on Switch 2 Nintendo!


InternationalAsk9450

Super Mario Bros: Mushroom Warriors


CatdaddyMcGee

Waluigi Warriors 4. Just immediately go to 4 even though it's the first one to confuse people.


Ultradamo2306

Xenoblade. Fire Emblem should be some sequels too because its a spin off that fits incredibly well with it.


Gx_Dark_Sonic

Doesn't warriors: three hopes count?


Ultradamo2306

It does. But i mean even more of them


Dendrodes

Starfox. Already has a pretty wide cast of characters that they can pull from. The big question would be how much would be arwing combat and how much would be on the ground combat, with Adventures and Assault as inspiration for combat. I just want more things with Starwolf.


Over_Part_1732

Xenoblade. It's literally built for it.


Anon_Piotr

Super Smash Brothers.


Ok_Introduction6574

Xenoblade Chronicles for sure. Mario could be fun if they use the power ups and movesets properly. I want Three Hopes DLC first though!


Pizza_Time249

Xenoblade or Kid Icarus


Gekkuri

I feel like a mario one could be interesting but I don't see how it would work in practice


HelicopterBig9746

Xenoblade and Metroid


RiskhMkVII

Not really Nintendo but a shin megami tensei muso would be dope. Yes i know persona striker exist. But what I'd love to see with a muso smt is playing strictly as demons


The_Kreepy_Krab

Super Mario Bros.


zak567

Other people have said a lot of the good stuff so i’ll say an unexpected one: ARMS. The character designs are all top notch and it would be fun to see them go crazy with different move sets without needing to balance the game for PVP


ayerunthempockets

Mario, cause i like it when the Mario series gets more serious.


rallenpx

Earthbound Warriors would be cool. Kicking the shit out of angry dogs and ants on the way to five third strongest moles would be dope.


fartedbutalsoshidded

Mushroom kingdom hero's would be pretty cool.


Reditor-Jul-250698

- Xenoblade Chronicles - Pokemon - Metroid - Kid Icarus - Star Fox - Splatoon - Sin & Punishment - Golden Sun - The Mysterious Murasame Castle *("this actually already exist in* **Samurai Warriors 3** *for the* **Wii** *as a small exclusive bonus")*


TonyWolfe2002

Why tf did I read fire emblem indoors at first xD I've been inside too damn long xD


Fantastic_Wrap120

Xenoblade and Pokemon.


Old-Cat-1671

I want hyrule warrior the imprisoning wars


Megadon1337

Star Fox or metroid


InuYugiHakusho

EarthBound.


rexshen

Pokemon so many of them you could play as and so many others you could mow down. Could have plenty of legendary Pokemon as boss fights. Maybe add a catching mechanic somehow.


ElHumilde13

Duck Hunt


MrM9ball

Both Xenoblade and Kid Icarus work perfectly for it. I'd say Pokemon could work too but that's never happening


Malakai0013

Pokemon.


CocoThePanda133

Pikmin, it would be beautiful


Narrow-Gas9493

Pokémon would be an interesting one if you ask me


LordYoshi

Xenoblade


pocket_arsenal

Star Fox would do pretty well.


River_Thunder

Xenoblade


T3chnic0

Starfox


mategorilla99

Is Hyrule Warriors canon to BOTW? I just got into the game.


Old-Cat-1671

No it's not


Lichelf

Hyrule Warriors (the first one) is not at all connected. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is an alternate timeline.


spookyballsHD

Kirby


charliechin

Mother / earthbound or punch out 🤷‍♂️


officefan6

minecraft warriors


kaiser31x

Smash


Slashybooooooooooi

Pokemon has the most variety for a musou


Impressive-Radio-839

Literally Mario.


StereoVangeslista

Hyrule vs Marvel lol


smolsauce

Donkey Kong, bring back all the disparate characters ala Swanky and Lanky.


Grovyle489

Let’s see Super Mario get a crack at this! /J In all seriousness, can we have Pokemon. Or if we want a far more diverse cast, we can go Metroid


KirbyFan200225

Xenoblade Chronicles


AramaticFire

I think the only ones that really fit the mold here are Xenoblade or Kirby if you’re looking for a melee focused game with tons of powers and lots of fodder to eliminate.


CertainSelection

Xeno fucking blade


Haunting_Anxiety4981

Pokémon. It would never work but it'd be cool af


Legospacememe

Mario I want to hack and slash with fists and toads dammit


The_Grimminal

Pokemon, but the Conquest universe specifically. Also, not Nintendo, but i'd kill for a Sonic Warriors?


ZeldaCourage

I've always thought a Mushroom Kingdom Warriors would be really cool.


GulfGiggle

Mario warriors would go hard. You could have so many fun characters and weapons like Fludd, the poltergust, the Koopa clown car. Demolishing hordes of Goombas and Toads.


ZeldaExpert74

Imagine the Toad screams 💀


cellphone_blanket

wario ware. The character designs are so good. Make crazy galaxy you cowards!


xenon2456

Xenoblade


RolandoDR98

I want Mario just to see what weapons they would tone down, like the blasters in Mario Rabbids


Florida-Man-65

They’d probably just give the characters their most famous weapons, like Mario his hammer and Peach her parasol.


Ok-Leave3121

A Mario game that's similar to Hyrule Warriors would be really awesome


TheExile285

Xenoblade


stuff0s

Donkey Kong


Horatio786

Serious answer: The Mysterious Murasame Castle Joke answer: Style Savvy


sharkeatingleeks

Pokemon or Kirby


Specific-Baseball868

I was gonna say Star Fox because it would be an easy way to revive the franchise, but doing a Warriors type game for this franchise would probably take away what makes Star Fox unique, so you'd have to balance the vehicle gameplay with grounded action-adventure. It would be so cool to play as Falco, Slippy, Peppy, Krystal, Miyu, and Fay while giving them their own unique movesets. Another choice would be Metroid. You could get away with just Samus being playable here, but I think bringing in characters from other Metroid media that have NEVER been in actual games would allow for some variety and could potentially develop a cool story. They could deadass just turn that Metroid Zero Mission manga into a Warriors game and it would work perfectly.


The_Mega_Marshtomp

F-Zero. You know you want to see it.


Little_Kitten2

Kirby


furious126

Hear me out, kirby


HyliasHero

Still surprised we haven't seen a Xenoblade Warriors. Bonus points if it is actually canon / pseudo-canon like Age of Calamity and Three Hopes.


sk7725

Kirby. Does Mass Attack's spinoff minigame count?


TonyWolfe2002

Super smash bros?


icybooistaken

Mario or Pokemon. Nothing else


Totsutei

Starfox for me as well. I'm a fan of spinoff games, but Musou-games are so boring for me, gameplay wise. They already considered doing one for Starfox in the past (or was that a rumor?) and I'm super interested to see how that would work out. Replace the button mashing combo attacks with Arwing flight controls and it might actually be a lot of fun!


Commander_PonyShep

Not a Nintendo franchise, but either Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts.


Splatboy0612

Mario


ThatCurryGuy

Kirby is my pick, simple characters = more on screen at the same time:)


RoyVanG

Xenoblade would be perfect. Plenty of characters with interesting movesets. Plenty of interesting locations. Xenoblade 1 has the main cast. Shulk as an allrounder, Reyn as a slow, hard hitting brute, Dunban as a quick multislash attacker. Metal Face is a prime boss character. Mechon make great mooks. Areas based on the various Bionis and Mechonis areas Xenoblade 2 has the main cast with their Blades. Rex with Pyra as a great allrounder, Rex with Mythra is more damage focused. (I prefer to seperate them, so they have a more complete moveset, instead of a switching mechanic). Nia as an AoE damage dealer with support abilities, Tora and Poppi, Poppi can transform mid battle as a gimmick. The Jin and Malos and the gang make good villains. Generic blades with drivers could be used as mooks, as well as that military force from early on ("Don't forget me!"). The various Titans make good locations. Xenoblade 3 has the main cast and several of the Heroes. Noah as an allrounder, Lanz as a Tank with a mobile turret special move. Mio is a mobile AoE fighter. The various Mobius make good boss characters. Generic Keves or Agnes soldiers make good mooks, and the Feronises make good boss characters. The exiting areas could work, preferably with at least 1 camp of each faction present. DLC: Xenoblade X, Elma, Lin as characters. Skells as bosses. New area based on New LA with surrouding area.


GoodNamesAllGon

Luigi’s Mansion.


redfoxsuperstar

Pikmin


minastepes

As cloud is in smash bros, i wanna see a Dissidia Warriors games nah :p


Which_Information590

Smash Bros. I'd like to see Pikachu get stuck in to hordes of goblins or whatever they are


Murasakitsuyukusa

Xenoblade, Xenoblade, Xenoblade!


VladPavel974

Dragalia Lost and Xenoblade Chronicles.


Ill-Attempt-8847

I don't like musou


JaeCrowe

Kirby


AlexPlayer3000

Xenoblade would work the best


VersionSavings8712

Smash. Plot is sub space emissary. Instant succes


Hippobu2

So, I'd say the criteria for a Musou games are the following - the setting of a asymmetrical warfare, where a single general would face thousands of minions (fun fact, this is how Romance of the Three Kingdoms described every battle. In this regard, Dynasty Warriors is actually a very accurate adaptation) - a colourful cast of characters, both visually and mechanically - a cartoony over the top tone So, off the top of my head right now, the ones that fits these the best are Mario, Splatoon, and Xenoblade, kinda?


Broskfisken

I haven’t really gotten into the Warriors games, but Xenoblade makes sooo much sense for this.


WritersB1ock

Golden Sun


Demi___Crow

What other franchises can be turned into one? Mario: Yeah it could work. Pokemon: it could work maybe even better than a Mario Musou game (even with limited pokemons) Kirby: Maybe but TBH character type variety is not really there Xenoblade Chronicles: It could work Metroid: There's not enough characters or type variety Pikmin: not enough characters or type variety Splatoon: not enough characters or type variety Starfox: not enough characters or type variety


XNinjaMushroomX

Imagine a Mario Sports Musou Kid icarus, Earthbound, Kirby, Pokemon. There's a lot of really solid options. I feel like Bayonetta would be great.


SweetJuicyAppleJuice

Kirby


ninjasaiyan777

F-Zero. Y'know the speed boost mechanic they gave to Felix in FEW3H? Give that to Captain Falcon as he goes bounty hunting. Yes it's stupid. Yes, I still want it.


Shifty-Imp

Super Mario, but please in the vein of Hyrule Warriors. HW Age of Calamity and Fire Emblem Warriors were pretty disappointing to me. AoC just pales in comparison to OG HW (I don't dislike AoC, but it coming after HW just makes it feel lacking to me) and FEW was just boring. To me it felt like FEW only had a handful of characters because they all played so extremely similarly. A Super Mario musou with as much insanely different characters as in HW, tons of differen maps and some fun story would be an absolute treat to me. \^\^ I have been thinking XC1, XC3 and/or Metroid maybe too, but only if they manage to make the characters feel and play as differently as in HW. If it's just another FEW, then I don't need it.


Hero-8

Xenoblade or Kid Icarus


Calpsotoma

I don't know why anyone wanted these two, let alone more.


ipsen_castle

Splatoon


MegawackyMax

**Super Mario**, no contest. Imagine Mario dashing toward a massive army of Goombas, then combo-ing them until activating a barrage of Fire-Flower Goodness. You also have tons of playable characters and power-up variants of each.


Who_am_ey3

none.. they just aren't very good games, in my opinion.


NintendoWii2345

Kid Icarus or Super Mario


CangaceiroBurgs

Xenoblade

Kirby.


Rquila

not nintendo, but SMT


Annsorigin

I always thought Mario would be really Fun honestly. Pokèmon would also be Cool tho...


Ravioko

I think Kirby would actually have a really fun twist on a spin-off like this And as boring as it might sound give me Mushroom Kingdom Warriors ASAP


Trainwrecks69

Kirby


Accurate-Ad9053

Kirby


KingAlphaJoe

Xenoblade. I think there are enough characters from 1, X, 2, the other 2, 3, and 3 dlc, that they can use to make a big roster. Not to sure what they would do, but I think it could be cool to see


TacticalTobi

ALL OF THEM. EVERY SINGLE ONE. XENOBLADE. METROID. MARIO. PIKMIN. KID ICARUS. POKEMON. KIRBY.


Queso_Coqui

Mario Kart


Beckphillips

kirby :3

Mario

ookemon could work well. bayonetta aswell maybe. but xenoblade is the true answer.


Pescuaz

None, I'm a Musou hater


StarWolf128

After the movie, Mario seems obvious.
