I've been replaying Link Awakening on the 3DS and i disagree... for example, the fish boss in LA took me like 5 secs to kill. And that's not even the first boss of the game! All i had to do is standing in front of him and spam the sword button. Nothing more, nothing less.

This is the statement that has me intrigued. Are you guys, the ones that prefer the gyro aiming, not sugar coating?CassSept said:
If this is true this will have huge implications for the Wii U shooters, good ones.

This game is gonna be amazing. I remember when they announced it last year after the press conference, I was so fucking excited to get a chance to play it. This game will be in my 3DS for about 2 months straight.

I've got exactly the same issue my friend. Not heard anyone else notice it yet. I did ask a page back but unfortunately no response.
edit: Just saw responses while I wrote this. I've sent them an email but they've probably finished work for the weekend.
Why would you do that?

oh snap maybe I'll get this today.Mejilan said:
Nintendo World's having a launch party with Gold Skulltula treasure hunts and stuff, but I'm thinking about skipping it and just getting the game today.

Picked it up in NYC a few hours ago.
The usual suspects all have their copies in.

Uh.. if you don't mind, can you please elaborate on "the usual suspects?" If I don't have to go all the way down to Nassau, then I'll be happy.Vyse The Legend said:

In the US, you can't register the game yet.
game is lovely, motion aiming seems nice.
Not sure I like the 3D though. It *is* impressive but I think it just fatigues me. And 2D is very nice with AA.
Is there an easy way to cancel lock-on when toggling? I find holding to lock uncomfortable, but I can't easily unlock when its toggled - it keeps switching to other targets when I press L again.

Got my copy and a 3DS today from Amazon, I really didn't expect this but I'm actually super impressed by the 3D after dabbling with Pilotwings at a demo booth kinda left me cold. The graphics are also quite a bit better than I expected, so far I like this version a lot more than what I've played of the original.
One thing that feels weird to me is the "circle pad", though, it doesn't seem to offer the same precision as an analog stick. I'll get used to it, though, I suppose.

These are terrible examples because we're talking about games. It's also a terrible argument on your part because no one was making statements about Star Wars or Michael Jackson or Disney. Personally, I don't care about Star Wars, I don't listen to Michael Jackson, and Disney's "release a movie once every 10 years and then lock it away for good" strategy, while ingenious, pisses me off.
My point was that Nintendo looks at the behavior of their sales. If 3DS sales dip up or down, they look at the software currently out and the current behavior of the market to judge what they prioritize their future software/hardware focus on. If they re-release old games and get huge sales bumps, but then release Luigi's Mansion 2 and there's no real budge in software or hardware sales, Nintendo might conclusively decide to focus on re-releases. That's a really one-dimensional analysis of what Nintendo might do, but it in simple terms, it's accurate. Nintendo studies their sales (in fact, their reaction to Metroid Other M's lackluster sales alarmed me. It's as if they interpreted the Metroid brand as now being unsuccessful instead of blaming the kind of game in the series it was for its low sales).
I want my 3DS purchase to add to the sales ticker when they release their beefy line-up a few months from now so they can look at their sales and say "Wow, releasing these games is what caused 3DS hardware sales to go up".
Though that was my original position, it might have budged, as people mentioned the fact that it's probably not as binary as I'm seeing it, and that many people will be playing this OoT for the first time.
Added more reviews to the OP, plus a link to the OoT 3D page on Metacritic to check the Metascore and more reviews (the list in the OP is starting to get too crowded).
I also added this, since the question about the framerate in 3D keeps getting asked:
I haven't received my copy yet, so please let me know if this is accurate.
I also added this, since the question about the framerate in 3D keeps getting asked:
Smooth framerate @ 30fps in both 2D and 3D mode, with the latter not suffering from noticeable drops.
The 2D mode has added antialiasing.

This is my first Post on GAF and ill spend it on my favourite Game ever- Ocarina of Time.
I played the 3DS Version today and it looks great, the gyro controls are working great.
Nintendo promoted those a bit too gimmicky but they are working good.
the 3D effect on the other side is disappointing.
the jaggies are awful to watch....

Got the game here in Ireland, completed the original countless times along with MQ.
Few things ive noticed in this 'remake':
The 3D switched off is surprisingly great as it is switched on
Few 'Ghosting' here and there in particularly dark areas, this CAN be overcome by tilting the screen slightly to a more appropiate angle, its not a hinderance but i do want the quality to look high at all times.
At Zeldas courtyard
Link model 'Spins' around needlessly when you unlock a locked dungeon door, its not an animation of the character but the game model itself spinning (similar to spinning a Super Smash Bros trophy around)
The Analogue thumb pad isn't as comfortable as the N64 stick, feels there could be more give to make link run.
The sense of depth to areas is amazing with the 3D turned on and adds greatly to the size of places.

The Mario images from the N64 original have been replaced with from what it looks like New Super Mario Bros mushroom kingdom scenery, complete with power blocks, hills and platforms....but no Mario characters. The Windows themselves have been 'raised' forcing you to go at more tight angles to look

Damn, after watching the Giant Bomb QL, I have realized I don't remember much at all about the dungeon designs in this game. Which is a good thing, as it should definitely make this game an even more fresh experience. Especially with the inclusion of the updated graphics.
I already have this game paid in full at Gamestop (w/ store credit), but I have seen many shops in the area with the game out for sale. It's so tempting to just buy the game now, but with only Saturday left to go, I think I shall wait.
I just can't wait to dive-in. Just re-watching some classic scenes in the Quick Look made me all excited inside to play OoT.

On that of a MM remake (which could have a harder sell since it lacks a MQ), since they reused assets there, and some assets were reused in the OoT3D, should it take even less time to get it?
Not to mention would be possible to give models a darker shade to match the artstyle, like so.

I'd be cautious with a MM remake, though. That game is NOT handheld friendly. The game starts with 45 minutes where you cannot save the game, and then it erases some of your progress every time you save the game. If nothing else, a portable MM badly needs a proper suspend save system.

So the visions from those stones play out pretty much the same way as those in Sands of Time?

Got this today. It is an absolute delight.
I'd never given a thought to the gyro controls for aiming/first person view, but they are spectacularly good - a wonderful addition to the game and one that makes exploring feel that much more natural.You'd think, wouldn't you, that waving your handheld around would kind of destry the immersion, but it doesn't - quite the reverse.
Having a lot of fun (and a lot of memory failures - I'd really forgotten just how enormous Ocarina is and somehow transplanted some of my memories of it onto different games).

I visited a Fnac store on my way back home from the office (Barcelona) to check if they had demo 3DS units with OOT, but they didn't. The same old Street Fighter 4, Nintendogs and Pilotwings demos, all of which leave me quite cold in terms of the 3D effect when I have tried them. I understand a 3DS with its screen full of fingerprints on store is not the best way to judge the 3D... and I want to believe. I hope I can try OOT somewhere soon, with all the good impressions I read.

I don't think they'd need to change the main save system (ie playing song of time and travelling back in time) all they'd need to do to make it more handheld friendly is replace the temporary save and quit owl save statues with a temporary save accessible by just pausing and selecting from the menu.
They can keep the whole save deletes once you reload it method the owl statues had, but by allowing to save and quit whenever you want would mean youc an play it for that 10 minute bus journey etc....
Heck, they could even add an owl statue image to the lower touch screen and just let you touch it whenever you need to save and quit with very short notice.
