There’s a 3DS and Wii U pass
Strap yourself in, because Nintendo just detailed how the new season pass forHyrule Warriorswill work on both 3DS and Wii U, and it’s confusing as hell. In short, there’s three Season Passes, similar to howSuper Smash Bros.operates its DLC — 3DS, Wii U, and a combination of both.
But! There’s a pack that isn’t available on Wii U (Master Wind Waker Pack). Oh! And if you’re interested in the new characters on 3DS but don’t want to buy the whole shebang, there’s a “Legends Character Pack” that will launch in the summer, that isnotpart of the Season Pass. You may need to hire a lawyer to go over all of the provisos.
There’s a tons of exceptions so ensure and read them all if you’re planning on pulling the trigger. Nintendo even has an FAQ at the end! In short, the Adventure maps and My Fairy system are exclusive to the 3DS version, while Wii U will get all the characters.
