The only 3D zelda I haven't played.
Thanks
Oh, I didn't mean I predicted this by any means! Sorry to have come off that way. All I meant was that it's funny to me to think just one year ago I was so psyched for this, and now it's actually happening.
How sweet it is.
Fuck Europe.Europe only collector's edition:
You are straight wrong
OOT 3D is a upgraded port. The base game, geometry and things like that are the exact same assets in the N64 version. They ported it to the 3DS and then added the upgrades on top of it.

I love how they stuck the ominous tree at the opposite side in the poster.
Darkest Zelda indeed.

Damn! My wife and I went through some hard times this year, and I had to sell my 3DS over the summer. What bugged me the most about selling it was I knew there would be a good chance of Majora's Mask coming to the 3DS! ARRRGHH!! Hope you guys enjoy it!

What are the chances NA ruins the boxart by making it gold?
Good point. Remastered Castle Town looked fantastic, and I doubt they'll put as much effort into remastered Clock Town since it's already been modeled.

Actually it is a remake it says right in the press release.

Just woke up to this. Was reading some of the thread and looks like I'm not the only one who held out on a re-playthrough of MM in hopes of a 3DS version being announced. I LIKE the boxart in poster form better than I do as actual boxart, something about Link I don't like. Also, I don't really like the new digital clock, but besides all those nit-picky gripes you best believe I'm excited.
The original Majoras Mask re-used a bunch of assets from Ocarina of Time. Because they already had those assets from Ocarina of Time 3D, they just did the same thing they did numerous years ago and re-used a bunch of OOT3D assets.
Majoras Mask only took 2 years to make, and because Grecco already has the game itself done. All they had to do is re-use a ton of assets and update and make the remaining assets. But they took all this extra time to remake the clock into something more easier to read (and I personally like it's newer look better, I just miss the iconic look of the hour clock.)
So it wasn't a matter of how quick they could had brought it over, but more how much time were they going to sit on it so they could add more to it. And I'm glad they sat on it for as long as they did, because the game is looking beyond my expectation of what I wanted.

Ha man it's like I've traveled back in time, this remake vs port argument.
"Remaster," dudes. That's the word we all agreed upon for OOT. In between remake and port, regardless of what Nintendo calls it. Goal of reproducing the original faithfully but polishing it up significantly in the process. Let's not go through this all over again.

I bet we won't get a gold boxart for this one, if the original was the reference. This Zelda has a gloomy tone as compared to the other Zelda games, so they might emphasize the dark purple shade especially for this game.
But yeah, I'm just one of the hopefuls who pray that NoA won't mess this up

But they added 2 new features to the game:
The Masks to help give players hints
And the Boss Battle Challenge Mode at Link's House.
All while giving the game a graphical overhaul.
I consider that a graphical remake, not a graphical enhanced port. Mainly because by adding just 1 small improvement or feature that makes this game completely different from the original, thus I considered it a graphical remake. :/
and you know this from...?
And the cart will be holographic + gold like the original.
aww yeah
bring back holographic stickers for game cartridges
Sure, I guess that makes sense. I'll de-attitude my original post.

Wow this came out of nowhere. One of the greatest games of all time getting remade. I love the game.

The 3 day cycle was great. Every character had a unique story and it really made the game feel alive like no other game I've played. The ways you can alter each individuals path is amazing to this day.
I fucking love this game.

Hahahaha!
Same here. First thing I thought of when I saw the image.
Also, gematsu has a version without the logo.
That's rad. You gotta push through with your comics plans because this is really nice.

Just messing with ya, knew it was to good to be true
. Thought that they might have found a loophole, although one hope does exist...reversible cover
Steelbook looks nice too I guess.
Can't tell from what I've seen, but it looks like maybe they pulled the camera back a little? What I mean is, when I tried playing MM on the Wii VC, I felt way too close to Link - to the point where I couldn't see enough of what was going on around me. I hope it's a bit further zoomed out perspective on this... edition.
Do you mean the Stone Tower temple?
