Usually when a game is ported onto a less powerful console we get a severely neutered game, one with missing features, content and characters. Koei Tecmo are bucking the trend with their 3DS port of Hyrule Warriors, though; not only have they managed to cram the entire Wii U game onto a tiny 3DS cart, they've also tossed in a bunch of new stuff, including new added chapters and stages, new characters to battle as, and a character changing mechanic that lets you switch combatants on the fly during battle.
Although the graphics and overall presentation of the game have taken a noticeable hit due to the hardware gap between the Wii U and the 3DS, with the masses of new content and gameplay tweaks the handheld Hyrule Warriors is shaping up to be the definitive version of the game. The original release was already an incredibly solid game (and for my rupees, the best of the many Warriors spin-offs), so if you're a Zelda fan who never played the original, this one's a complete no-brainer.
For a closer look at the game in action, as well as the roster of new characters, which include Skull Kid, Toon Link and Linkle (Link's new female counterpart), point your peepers at this new trailer:
