Hyrule Warriors is coming to Wii U!! Dynasty Warriors + Zelda = a much better game

And yet they continue to sell, so obviously something in the formula works. I maintain that this is a good move overall for Nintendo, considering it's coverage in a genre that they're deficient in and holds a lot of sway in their home territory of Japan (and also has some niche following elsewhere).

Its not like this is taking away from any major Nintendo project, but I'll just call it what it is - padding. Its filler and pandering. Its not the next great Zelda game, but a throwaway spin-off. They actually risk diminishing interest further by keeping Zelda out there with three games in two years. Possibly four the way they keep alluding to a Majora's Mask remake.

They could have paired Warriors with Xenoblade. It has the cast, setting, generic rank and file peons to slash up and a common interest in butt rock.

Zelda is a better choice. It's a more well known franchise, and it's not like it doesn't have its own hefty set of generic enemies that you have to wade through to get to bosses. I'd also note that Zelda's combat simplicity more closely mirror's the Musou gameplay than Xenoblade's much more MMO-like ability timers.
