I never once said i expected a new Zelda or Starfox at launch and I never would. Well starfox maybe but not something like Zelda (we all know TP doesn't count), so i'm hoping that "brat" comment isn't meant to be directed at me, especially since i'm not trying to argue with you Spak.
I've said before I understand these are TESTING GRONDS but they could've also tested GC games but didn't, most likely because starting with N64 titles is easier, and because of how recent GC games are in comparison ports of those titles wouldn't sell as well because even with younger fans, they're fresh in peoples gaming life. I mentioned earlier how there are youngens out there that think WW is the first Zelda game, I'm sure we've all come across kids like that and you can't blame them for being born after a video game era or being too young during one. Obviously the best situation
for Nintendo is to test 3D engines on relatively simpler games that if succesfully reproduced could be released as ports. There's NOTHING wrong with releasing a port and I've never once thought so, especially if its advanced in some form. I even mentioned that it's a good business move.
The point I'm trying to get across is that it would've been nice if instead of spreading their already thin resources on testing game codes and engines on this new hardware and touching up those games to release as advanced ports for launch, if those same resources already testing engine and code used them for newer experiences. I also touched base on the fact that the release date for 3ds shouldn't be set in stone. Did Nintendo even confirm that it'd be coming out next year?
Again, I'm only now catching up on all the E3 info, mainly thru posts here and not really watching videos of the conference itself. Back when the 3DS news was blurted out by Nintendo, didn't they say it'd launch in 2011? Why? The isn't the DS still making tons of money? At the time they released the news there wasn't even a confirmation of a PSP2 (and as far as I know there still isnt..?) so whats the rush to release it? All those devs they had tinkering with OoT's code and engine could've gotten it to work on 3DS with all the stereoscopic imagery in place and turned OoT into a new game (zelda or not) if Nintendo just decided to hold off on launching the system when those new games were ready.
I also mentioned that these ports should be budget priced, but a budget price as a downloadable game is even better. I forgot that the DS now has a download service, so I didn't even think that OoT 3D could be a type of VC game for cheaper than it would if it were retail. Again, that'd just be another smart business move on Nintendo since downloadable games are more prone to impulse buys than retail games.
One last thing, and again only if you're referring to me directly, Spak;
Go back and read my initial post and you'll see mentioned that i'd buy the game if the enhancements were worth it and if it was priced lower than a new game. The fact that it's in stereoscopic 3D and will have crisper graphics isn't enough. Neither is the fact that it'd be portable, as I'm not the biggest portable gamer anyway.
Adding the Iron Boots to the weapons menu as opposed to the "armour" menu and letting you use them the way we were able to in TP isn't enough either. If it adds those 2 dungeons you yourself mentioned i'd consider it. If (the game was sold at retail) and included both OoT and OoT: Master Quest I'd be more inclined to buy it. If (again sold at retail) was a compilation of OoT AND Majoras Mask (AND with added dungeons) then I really wouldn't have a choice but to buy it.
If it all it ends up being is a slightly prettier game, in stereoscopic 3D and with the Iron Boots placement being changed around, then I'll skip it. No big deal. It's not the end of the world. I won't sit on my high horse calling the people that do morons, fanboy or apologist. It's not my place, it's not my style
its Ians 
lol sorry I'm ripping on you so much dude.
On a sidenote, I'm tired of typing out "stereoscopic 3D" to differentiate the 3D imagarey vs 3D gameplay. Thanks Nintendo
