Thanks, sounds just fine then. So many awesome games coming out in the coming few months, not being able to afford to get them all sucks
On the other hand, I'd never get any uni work done at all if I could get every game I wanted lol

Yeah, it really is improved in every single way.Grezzo did a amazing job here.

There are a few moments when things chug just a bit but overall it is way better than the n64 version, which is capped at 20fps with drops everywhere.
"What a weird 'insert object or event of choice'." is the name of the game.

THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
I don't think for this game since it came out after 1/20
Are these Slowdowns also on New 3DS?
Or can they be patched? I think I remember a news that 3DS games can patched now, too.

I wish instead of fishing areas they added just one more skultula house. I love those things.
I wish they added a Master Quest version of the game, but I guess besides the graphical update they spent most of their time on the new Bomber's Notebook and changing where and how you get certain things.
Yes. The game is not optimized for the N3DS.

Any 3DS game can be patched but don't expect a patch for the slowdowns. Wind Waker HD had slowdowns too and those were never patched (heck, I think every 3D zelda has had slowdowns hasn't it?) It doesn't really affect the gameplay in my experience, there's slowdowns sometimes after defeating a bunch of enemies due to the explosion effects.
I bet the slowdown is still a higher framerate than the original.
I can't believe they didn't tone down the smoke effect when you roll as a Goron though, with 3D on it's chug city when you're rolling at a stand-still in snow.'
Edit: Also can we talk about how awesome the 3DS theme you get is? It's great, having the Song of Healing play in your menu is just great.

It came with a theme? How do you get it?
It does if you download the game from the eShop. However, you can still get the theme by paying for it separately in the 3DS Theme Shop - there are two for Majora's Mask (Dire Moon and Gold).
The digital version comes with it. At least in the EU it does.
Oh, I got a physical copy. Never mind.

It's not so bad, now if you want to talk about the

I'm still at the beginning, but I have to admit that MM isn't "clicking" with me, as it was in the past (I've never finished it). THis mechanic is something different from what I expect from Zelda, and being father now (with very little spare time) isn't exactly the best suit for a classic Zelda game... ;p

Playing the
Temple while the weather is crazy outside is kinda fun.

It felt a lot shorter to me this time around. I thought I was being thorough with fairies and all of the sudden I was at the boss door.
I'd argue this is actually perfect for this. MM makes you plan out what you need to do during a three day cycle for example, getting the song to open the next temple. One you've done that you can either start a new cycle, close the lid and put the system to sleep for the next time. It's very easy to break it down into bite sized chunks.
Yep, now with the 3DS version's save system it's even more convenient.
Oh, you are both right.
fact is, I have to at least "enter" the concept of the mechanic and look around a little bit beofre being able to properlu focus on the game. And my son wasn't so keen to let me play the game during the weekend
Plus, the "open world investigation" mechanic (it is way less linear than other Zeldas in terms of going from one dungeon to another) is not exactly my cup of tea.

I feel like I beat Oldwala "wrong" somehow, I didn't use those bomb plants at all. He just jumped away when I threw one.
I'm wondering this too. I don't really want to know if you get any rewards from fishing, but I would like to know if the game tracks the different types of fish you catch, I remember reading "10 types of fish!" in pre-release stuff.

Also,
am I crazy or do you eventually get your own fishing rod? I swear I remember catching the little devil fish in some dungeon, unless I'm remembering Twilight Princess.
Okay, I'm doing something wrong here... and the game isn't telling me what.
I'm trying to unlock access to the second temple.
So... what do I do?
I'm trying to unlock access to the second temple.
So, I grab a bottle of hot water, thaw out the Elder, and he freezes over again after slowly taking some steps. Well, no problem, I'll just go get another bottle of water. Except his position is reset. Well, then I'll get TWO bottles of water. But he walks so slow that the second bottle manages to cool before he freezes over again.
So... what do I do?

Dreading the thought of experiencing it again tbh.
Didn't even realise that was a move until I read about it in the thread.
At least this time I understood how I beat him. When I beat him before in the N64 version it just felt like he died randomly. Even went back to fight him again to the same outcome.

Majora's Mask was my first Zelda game ever, so this game is pretty special to me.
This remake is very good. I wish I didn't remember so many details so I could experience them again, oh well.

Explore the next area some more. Maybe try out all of
Goron

The fact that I remember where just about every heart piece is kind of bothers me. Still my favorite game ever though.
Is that considered a spoiler when it's on the front cover?
Oh okay. I just wasted a load of time in Ikana then. At least I got the Captain's hat.
Who knows what might set some people off. Better safe than sorry I reckon.
You kids have your fun.
Just kidding, I just got the 3DS version, too.
haha.
I bought N64 MM at launch and had the 3D lenticular box.

This time,
I dropped seeds on his head during his first phase, stunning him and letting me whack at him with my sword. Then he got in this tired looking stance where he'd just stand there and turn as I strafed around him, but eventually he'd do some crazy chant/dance and stop turning, so I could get behind him and put an arrow in that eye. I'm guessing that maybe you could throw the bombs at him while he's in that tired stance? Maybe he wouldn't jump away then? Maybe it would put him in a collapsed state for hackin? Who knows!!!
I just used the deku flowers to hide from him until he entered that looking around stance then flew over his head and whacked his legs from behind until he collapsed.
