Yes, this means that Switch owners are getting a relatively old game originally released in 2013, but that’s not too much of a problem considering it is widely considered the franchise’s best entry and this particular version is the most comprehensive package available including content from later DLCs and expansions. While the franchise might have moved on to a ninth major entry, DW8 finding its way to Switch is really the best outcome for those interested in the series as the latest game and its efforts to move to an open-world design were very poorly received.

However, it is only now that we have received the first entry of the core franchise on Nintendo’s hybrid console in the form of Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition. However, things seem to have changed recently, likely thanks in no small part to Koei-Tecmo’s partnering with Nintendo to lend their unique gameplay concepts to classic Nintendo franchises in the form of Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors, both of which happen to be available for Switch. Every few years, a new numbered entry would be released with tweaked gameplay and it would almost certainly be followed by one or two expansion-like releases as well as spin-offs based on everything from Japanese history to popular anime like Gundam or One Piece. Not long ago, the Dynasty Warriors franchise was something of a joke, often ridiculed for its somewhat unique but highly repetitive one vs one thousand gameplay built around a highly dramatized and over-acted retelling of a chapter of Chinese history.
