Re: Nintendo 3DS

I'm already disappointed the way the winds are blowing with the 3DS...It seems Nintendo is becoming complacent towards gaming. For me it was the overabundance an over-saturation of last gen ports and remakes from gamecube that killed the wii. Now it seems Nintendo is just happy to keep releasing the same games over and over again with new paint and controls. Sigh....

Miyamoto says to expect more “remakes of games on 3DS”

Yep that's right, Shigeru Miyamoto has said that folks can expect more “remakes of games on 3DS,” and how the eShop will help Nintendo “create meaningful and high-value games for 3DS specifically.”

Speaking with Edge, Miyamoto also said established franchises appearing on the eShop is meaningful for 3DS.

“I think if it’s meaningful for 3DS. For me it’s important that anyone can play, and that it’s easy and comfortable for anyone – it’s not forcing a game into the hardware itself,” he said, adding that the one game he would like to see the most is A Link to the Past.

“Do you remember Xevious? It’s two-layered and I really wanted to create that at the time,” he said. “So to see Link To The Past in two layers would be quite attractive for me.”

Re: Nintendo 3DS

None of that implies that the predominant releases on 3DS will be remakes or that it should be the only thing we should expect. People like remakes, I don't see why expecting some more would be a bad thing as long as we get new games as well. Calling Nintendo complacent is certainly jumping the gun on this. If you've been keeping up with news, Shigeru Miyamoto has said that he's already developing a new IP and new Nintendo characters. On top of that, this year alone we're getting a brand new Mario game and a new Mario Kart.

And the way I see it, remakes > HD ports and cash-grab collections, which seemingly you have no problem with.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Remakes for games are usually very welcome. As the majority of improvements revolve around game play and graphical upgrades. Not a bad thing.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

i welcome the remakes cause i never had a N64 back in the days

Re: Nintendo 3DS

The online functionality of the 3DS is pretty good. I've been playing SSFIV online with it and i have no problem playing with other people.

However, I hate the Lite controls people use. I put my controls to pro and only mapped 3P and 3K to shortcuts 2 and 4, but it drives me crazy when people are pulling off charge moves without having to charge. I had people use characters like Guile or Honda, just standing still and tossing sonic booms or doing constant headbutts that should take time to charge. It really throws off my game.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

As long as it's eShop porting games and not Nintendo using up it's own resources, I don't see what the big deal is.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

I'm just saying the last thing I need is another portable remake. Nintendo seems to just dish these out left and right. It seems like half the wii's catalogue are just past GC games with wii controls tacked on, and those are some of the better games on the wii...are 5 or 6 year old ports with a wiimote.

It just feels lazy, because they can't crank out original Zelda, Metroid, or Mario titles fast enough...so they throw more filler in and people bit, because they need that same Mario game for the 6th time.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

You seem to be confusing 'port' with 'remake'. It is true that a large number of Wii titles are barely updated ports of existing Gamecube games and I don't disagree with you on that. But looking at Zelda Oot 3D, it looks to be a complete overhaul of the original game, and that is what I meant (and most likely what Shigeru Miyamoto implied) by remakes. If future remakes for 3DS have the same luxury treatment, I don't see a problem with it. It's the difference between Resident Evil 4 Wii versus the Resident Evil 1 remake for Gamecube.

In any case, I think the portability factor justifies the existence of the remakes for 3DS.

Anyway, new gameplay vids of Zelda OoT 3D:

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Fantastic. I want this game so bad.

I wish they would have updated the music with full orchestra versions. Alas, tis barely even a blip on my negativity radar. Must. Have. Game.

 

[plasmid303]

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Yes! I loved the original OoT score but it was definitely held back by the N64's sound chip. The orchestral arrangements would've been the cherry on top, but I'm not too sore about the absence.

edit: Comparison vid of the new intro sequence vs. The original N64 version..

Re: Nintendo 3DS

The colors are so vibrant! Love it.

Re: Nintendo 3DS

Skyward Sword and OoT3D. Two Zelda games in one year!

Yeah man!! Mario Kart 3D sounds great. The new Mario will probably blow us away big time.

That's an awesome picture. I need to sit down and finish Twilight Princess on my Gamecube.
