Nintendo: Majora's Mask 3DS Remake Is Not "An Utter Impossibility"

Majora's Mask and Windwaker are both Zelda games I never got into. One of these days I'll give both a fair shake although I still dislike Windwaker's kiddy design.

I wasn't a fan of Majoras mask. It just didn't feel very zelda-esque to me for some reason and the whole groundhog day thing....meh. Windwaker was amazing even though I put it off due to the graphics at first.

i liked majoras mask, the whole time puzzle aspect was really badass

Majora's Mask is amazing, but there is that sense of urgency when playing through it that pretty much discourages what is a trademark of the series, which is exploration. If they could somehow balance that, it would be much better. I just wish they'll eventually put both games into a single disc and release it for Wii U, those games are too good to be confined to a small screen.

I know this opinion might not be popular but I’d rather see Nintendo put out some new games first. Remakes are great and all but at least two or three good new titles for the 3DS is more of what I’m hoping for. Right now I don’t have a 3DS, but I want one, I want to play both Ocarina of Time, and StarFox 64. It’s ironic to buy a new system just to play old games.

*Normally* I'd agree with you, but here's the thing: Kids these days (and I'm turning into my parents as we speak) don't know **** about good games. They think Halo is good games, and they're ****ing wrong. Their problem is they don't have the patience (or the culture? upbringing? phronesis? I'm not quite sure what concept I'm reaching for here. Nick, help me out) to sit through and appreciate older games. Maybe it's something having to do with instant gratification, I dunno. Obviously, this isn't the most well-thought-out comment, but my point is that anything that will make the youngins appreciate real games is okay by me, even if they are money-leaching remakes.

And what's up with GameRev suddenly editing out all the swearing? Your new corporate overlords suck.

/Nothin but

Yeah, that was supposed to read "Nothin but love," but my symbols got edited out, too. Bugger.

Okay, I'm done now.

Lol, that'll do. Thanks, Nick.

/Going back to playing RE4 now. On the GAMECUBE, *****es! Cuz I'm oldschool like that.

@sara_gunn: Normally I wouldn’t try to argue with some who wields words like “phronesis.” However either I’m being brave or stupid, and with me most people can’t tell the difference. I’m not going to say your wrong, only slightly misguided, Nintendo has put out two popular old classic games for the 3DS that should be enough for now. Their 3DS sales are sluggish and remakes of classic games, no matter how popular will not excite fans enough to make them invest in a 3DS. New exciting games for the 3DS are not only wanted , but needed. Then we can see about educating the youngsters about the great old games that are out there.

Hehe. I just got to ask, how old are you anyway? I’m 48 btw.

@tinymhg: No, you're totally right, and if it was anyone other than Nintendo, I'd be pretty pissed. (See, for example, the SH2/3 reamke. Complete poop and a waste of money. Why not use those resources to make a new SH game that's better than Homecoming or Shattered Expectations? It can't be that hard to be better than those.) For whatever reason, tho, I always forgive Nintendo when they pull this. Maybe it's because they're just so darn good at making those same five games over and over. The 3DS *does* need a better library, tho. That's mostly the reason I haven't gotten one yet; there's nothing on it that I can't already play in some other capacity. I was just stoked to hear about Majora's Mask because it really is my favorite Zelda and it constantly gets overlooked, or put down for being too hard or some other such nonsense.

And I'm 27.

27. Man I feel old!

Paper Mario that's like sooo 2D.

Dude 3d-2d paper mario!

YES!

Majora's Mask is best Zelda. Period.

/Doesn't care that she's in the minority.
