Shadow Fire Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 If you love The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask anywhere near as much as I do (which is quite possible, lol), you will be excited to know that Nintendo have finally listened to their fans, and are working on a 3DS/2DS remake of the beloved title. Majora's Mask 3D is set to release in Spring 2015 (autumn 2015 for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere). In an announcement via Nintendo Direct, Satoru Iwata stated "As we worked on the remake version, we set out to maintain the original level of challenge, while keeping the game accessible for anyone. So we also focused on making sure the gameplay experience was as smooth as possible." I don't know about you, but this has me very excited. Majora's Mask was one of my favourites of the series, offering a probably the biggest replayability (discounting OoT3D's boss and gauntlet modes, of course). I'm pumped to see how they go with it. Will they base it on the Japanese original and make it its original difficulty, or will they follow the path of the US/EU release? Regardless, they should now be able to do away with the interrupt save feature altogether, since we can just enter sleep mode on the 3DS. Finally, here's the trailer: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Tommy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I have mixed feelings about it being on the 3DS. Even though I don't own one, I'm not sure I like having a game that was on a big console shoved onto a little one. That's a bit how I felt with Ocarina of Time as well. But on the other hand, I'm glad the classics are still rocking the new generation of kids. I have very fond memories playing Ocarina and Majora both. But I'd have to say I like Majora just a bit more than Ocarina, even though they've both great games! So all in all, this is great news. But is it just me or does the moon look even freakier now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeth Ryder Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Woo! Majora's Mask! Please Nintendo do something special with it! Add Masterquest to it? Perhaps a gauntlet mode like in OOT. SOMETHING! D: Because if its just...pretty graphics and nothing new...I will have to decline buying it and just play it on my N64 that requires less eye strain. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Also, what the f**k is gauntled mode? y u get enjoy things I does not? >.> Seriously though, what is it? I'm curious. Gauntlet mode is a special feature that was included in OoT3D, in which interacting with Link's bed allows you to battle bosses you have previously fought, while trying to set a good time. After beating each of the individual bosses, you are then treated to a Gauntlet mode, in which you fight bosses one after the other. Each boss you defeat drops a big chest and small chest, both which contain a random item that carries into the next round. One may be a heart container, allowing for extra health. The timer pauses once you beat a boss, and continues counting once you enter the next fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agnostic Priest Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 macky the xbox 360 has been out for like 8 years, theres far less demand for a used one, so obviously the price would be less expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Heheh... I'll be getting the US edition, since I have a US version 3DSXL. Can we say US$39.99? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netsrac Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Dude, that's cheating lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted November 8, 2014 Author Share Posted November 8, 2014 Dude, that's cheating lol Well, at the time I got my 3DS XL, they were retailing in Australia for about $350. I paid US$280 (~AU$262 at the time) total (postage included in the price) for a brand new 3DS XL. So, I suppose yeah... I did cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudMax Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I should note that there is a whole bunch of known differences in Majora's Mask 3D already. It is not even close to just a simple model & texture update. They're literally re-modeling areas, and most likely rewamping the saving, as in the trailer they do not mention saving when going back to the first day. http://forums.zeldaspeedruns.com/index.php?topic=1722 It really feels like they're taking their time to polish the game this time around. Time that they didn't have the first time around with their extremelly short development period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcaith Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 With any polishing they're doing, I wonder what they'll do with the saving system - they could keep the original Japanese version, add in the interrupt save or do something completely new.

CloudMax Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised at all if they had OoT saving. The game is easily able to use that, there is no specific issues preventing it. The one reason I can see that would prevent them from doing that is simply them not wanting to do it. They could still make it so that you must exit game while saving, and then remove that save when resuming (replacing with one at ye first day). I believe they made it like that in one of the new super Mario bros. games go prevent people from reloading the save when failing. at the very least SoT don't seem to save, which indicates a change.

Mellow Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 It seems I'll be bootlegging my 3DS to play on a big screen in Spring. Lets also not forget that they are adding fishing into the game. I am psyched about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeth Ryder Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Speaking of fishing, its an old concept that was around during MM's original game design. Playtendo found the leftovers and got them working for the most part in MM (J). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSkinnedKoopa Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I really hope they do something to help with the time limit and the saving concept because those annoying things prevented me from wanting to finish the game. The game was really fun though, so of course I'll be getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 If they're adding fishing... where will it take place? Only thing they have said regarding that is that there will be two places in Termima where the fishing minigame will take place. Beyond that, we'll have to wait and see.
