Topic: Ocarina of Time Remake for the 3DS: Malon in 3D!

[Mop it up]

Wasn't it a million-seller?

[UncleBob]

Not according to VGChartz (for what that's worth to ya...)

[Mop it up]

470k? Huh. I'm not sure why I thought that, then. Still, that's more than three times as much as ExciteBots and its total of 150k, most of which happened when the game became discounted by practically every retailer.

[UncleBob]

ExciteTruck probably sold to a lot of people because it was a launch title and a first party title - pickings were slim at the time.  ExciteBots likely didn't sell to anyone who wasn't already interested in ExiteTruck - and a lot of the people who got ExciteTruck probably didn't feel like they needed another.

[EasyCure]

Unfortunately, a surprise announcement/release is also probably part of the reason no one bought ExciteBots. shame on all of you... Except Me, EasyCure, Maxi, Zap & True Blue

There ya go.. fixed it for ya

Speaking of ExciteBots. I hope its added to OoT 3D, i'll buy it for sure if thats the case!

[UncleBob]

Hey, I've got it (The edition that came with the Wii Wheel!) And ExciteTrucks, so suck it.

[EasyCure]

Hey, I've got it (The edition that came with the Wii Wheel!) And ExciteTrucks, so suck it.

I will not suck it, as i bought both games (though not the one with the Wheel since I never even use the one that came with Mario Kart Wii). YOU suck it.

[Mop it up]

Then why have we never played it?

I bought the Wii Wheel edition, so Nintendo loves me more. :p

Then why have we never played it?

You know, I don't think the two of us have ever played anything online together.

Truth be told, I just don't play that many Wii/DS games online.  I greatly detest the friend code structure and losing everything on my Wii has even killed the part of me that still liked to play Mario Kart and Brawl (in spite of its many flaws) online (or offline, for that matter).

[Mop it up]

If we did play something, the only time would have been during one of the SSBBrawl or Mario Kart Wii Wi-Fi nights that happened some time ago.

I can understand losing your data putting a damper on things. That's a worry I have myself, since I've heard of corrupted internal memory being the biggest issue with Wii hardware. It has even happened to someone I know. It's caused me to resort to homebrew to back up my data. Anyways, now's the time to start new online games! Animal Crossing! Monster Hunter Tri!

[UncleBob]

Animal Crossing was one of the games who's data I lost.

Now I'm sad all over again.

If you remember what you had, you could create a hacked town with all your stuff.

Since when did our sweet little Mop it up become a crazy pirate hacker?

[Peachylala]

Add me to that list plz. and give me your friend codes for that as well.

Done.

This is Malon 3DS NOT Exciteburps discussion, numnuts.

The 3DS has some nice features, but I don't know how far they're going to take this port; I think the gyroscope shake could be used to shake free from those  Redeads (shudder), but what about whistling into the microphone to play Ocarina songs? That'd be rad.

[Mop it up]

Since Nintendo created a poor system memory manager.

Where in the world did you find that image?

I made it myself. Though it took way too much effort. Paint is terribly inadequate for what I wanted to do. I need to go out and buy good editing software.

If you like it enough I'd be willing to make a better version of it for you for a future avatar. I was actually surprised I couldn't find any pictures of Birdo as a pirate and also when I decided to make my own I was shocked at the lack of good Birdo pics to edit.

Download Gimp. It's free!

[Stratos]

That's the name of the free one! Thanks. I knew there was one, but didn't remember it's name.

In my dream, these N64 remakes would get bundled into one package: 

Best of N⁶⁴
3D
vol. 1

[Mop it up]

Like Super Mario All-Stars, which remains as the best compilation ever. But once Nintendo realized that people are willing to pay for each game individually, sometimes at full price or close to it, they have never looked back.

[Invincible Donkey Kong]

I am very pleased that so many people are excited about this re-imagining of one of the great classics and hallmarks of the history of video games.  Fans and hardcore gamers have been asking for a remake to this game for a long time, and seeing an opportunity to apply our new 3-D technology to a classic (as well as transfer development tools to our new platform), this decision was easy to make. 

There is some criticism that we are "recycling old content."  I would say this is a good point, however we did not lead our 3DS presentation with this game.  We silently announced this game during the Electronic Entertainment Exposition in order to please our fans that follow us like hawks, and most are ecstatic.

I, too, also hope our strongest critics please make sure their criticisms are the thoughts of their own feelings, and not the cheaply-attained, phony outrage that the internet is known for.  It would be embarrassing for one of our strongest critics to consider the possibility of a purchase of a remake to one of our greatest games, only to turn one hundred and eighty degrees and chide us when we provide it along with new games a scant month later.  One would think his opinion is not genuine, that he is impossible to please, and that he is a slave to argument in lieu of open discussion.

Looks like OoT 3D is not being handled internally by Nintendo.

http://www.classification.gov.au/www/cob/find.nsf/...?OpenDocument


As according to the Classified Database of AUS, it's being handled by Grezzo Co. LTD., the same people that did Line Attack Heroes.


So that leaves you to question, What is Nintendo's portable Zelda team working on right now? What is EAD working on besides Skyward Sword?
