i think its like part of this deal where they sort of give them resources (help and like an actual office space) if they need it
sort of like escape goat 2
its very different than a normal dev pub relationship
Yeah I know... I just hate selling stuff on the internet.

Doubt we'd see a remake for anything that isn't a Wii U. that Donkey Kong wii port to 3ds ended up being a grimey looking port with half of the framerate from the Wii version. Xenoblade is on even better tech and it's still kinda rough looking, too.
The only other zelda game i could see coming from to the 3ds before the 4DSU launches is probably something using the TLBW engine since they've already got the tech in place and the last times they assembled tech specifically for a Zelda portable game (Phantom Hourglass, OoT 3D) they leveraged that investment into a followup (Spirit Tracks, MM3D).

Okay, so I warmed up quite a bit on Twilight Princess the second time I played through it. The dungeon design is really awesome.
That said, when that assuredly bogus rumor about a N3DS port was around, all I could think about was how horrific the textures would look.

I have both versions of TP and only watched the opening scene to compare to 4:3 to widescreen, lol. i'll probably boot up the GC version cuz I don't feel like playing waggle with it.
True, it would be a technical nightmare. it's just that posters seem to think that TP is the enxt port for N3DS.
I think they would port the Wii version of TP instead to the Wii U's eShop and leave it at that with fixed compatibility with Gamepad controls.

A Twilight Princess port-remake needs real work to look good in 201X. Game design improvements, all you need is to fix the intro and rejigger treasure chest prizes or give a larger wallet. I'd sooner see a fixed Skyward Sword. There's a great game hidden in there, I just know it.
Grab it for those 3 and Fire Emblem and you're golden.
Yeah I have the zelda 3DSXL with ALBW, Ocarina and soon Majora.... Pretty much all I played on it lol (I have Luigi's Mansion and 3DLand too but haven'T played them too much)...
It's basically a Zelda machine for me lol
It's kind of amazing how much better I enjoy the game on a Gamecube controller. Mechanically, it becomes kinda like Wind Waker but with way more (and better) dungeon content. I'd even go so far as to say Twilight Princess has the best overall roster of dungeons since LTTP.
In the end, the Wii controls kinda distracted from everything that was good about that game and replaced it with disappointment that the controller wasnt as revolutionary an addition as it had been hyped up to be. And then when they finally delivered on that promise with Skyward Sword, it just so happened to be attached to a kinda bad Zelda game.

You know how you could fix the very obvious flaw that Wind Waker had near the end, with that filler-ass filler of the triforce pieces?
well, with Skyward Sword what you have is essentially a 15-20 hour version of that very same problem in the back half of the game. Someone at Nintendo got some great ideas for how to reuse their 3 major environments and that person must've had something on Aonuma because that shit became way too long by the end of it all, including shit like making you fight the same major setpiece boss at least three times in that game with not much changing between each fight.
It's not going to take something like streamlining the water temple or making the triforce quest tighter that's going to fix SS. It's a major revamping of that stuff that happens when the game goes full Okami on your ass that they would need to fix, and i'm not sure they would be willing to make the cuts/changes necessary.

Yeah, thanks a lot, Dan!
I really have the itch to play Majora's Mask after that Quick Look.
Which one? Still have not played ALBW! I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Agree!
But don't let certain people in this thread hear you say that
Wind Waker came out in 2002 so we're good here

Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon is my favorite. Better the OoT as well.
Looking at the list of Zelda games in the last decade, I have to agree.

I definitely enjoyed ALBW but perhaps not as much as people who really lauded it, some of the praise of it, from Giant Bomb included didn't hit home for me.
It was very good. It could have been better.

Yeah I think it was an all right Zelda game that became great because of the LTTP Nostalgia, nothing more.

Never played Phantom Hourglass or Minish Cap

Minish Cap (2004) was pretty fucking good. Put a smile on my face the same way Wind Waker did.

They're both good games.
Minish Cap is brilliant. I made a LTTP thread about it after I beat it last month. I really didn't mind it being somewhat short; 6 dungeons isn't that bad, and it's got some pretty decent sidequests.
Having to track down all the figurines to grab the last heart piece is bullshit though.

truly the gift that keeps giving
The fact that I've never played Ocarina Of Time or Majora's Mask before makes it even more enticing haha, I think I'll buy one with my next bit of student loan.
He can still buy it on the eShop!
That's why you buy all your Nintendo games digital. The only first party that has better prices digital and retail (mostly their fault too since they make so small quantities of their games so retail prices go up instead of down).

and SD cards are cheap as hell so I mean unless you plan on trading your games back in, having all your games on one card is the best thing
Saw that earlier in Twitter and had a good laugh. I wonder if writing that strategy guide was the easiest thing in the world or the hardest.

Is that a strategy guide cheat sheet for a QTE
Is that a fucking strategy guide cheat sheet for a QTE?
I need something to calm me down.

Creepy huh guys?

Even though I agree all you've said, I hold there's enough good to be mined from Skyward Sword that it's worth considering. In its current state I classify it as a heavily flawed game, not a bad game. Many of those flaws were overshadowed by the louder criticism of motion controls.
I didn't think nintendo would retroactively add games to the eshop that were released before they started selling full games on it, good on them!

That crossbuy Mario vs Donkey Kong game is out exactly one month from now (in Europe). I plan on buying it digitally purely to say to Nintendo, "DO MORE CROSSBUY THINGS PLEASE".
