Finally. I am pumped for this!

Not to mention the rest of the stuff the direct from yesterday mentioned (Amibo compatible games, release dates for some games, info about some games we didn't know much about, etc)

Still, the MM3D announcement made me literally shake from how giddy I was from hearing it. :kitty:

[Ventus]

When I Seen MM3D this was pretty my reaction.

That was my reaction when I got my NES. Well, not quite so screamy. :)

That looks nothing like A Link to the Past. http://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/jtv_user_pictures/chansub-global-emoticon-ddc6e3a8732cb50f-25x28.png

Anyway I knew this was inevitable, Aonuma just needed Hyrule Warriors to be released first so he could have time to spare to supervise this project as well. I mean the release date's in Spring, so it seems to me there's still some ways to go before this is ready to be launched.

Hyrule Warriors development probably had nothing to do with this. Nintendo likely needed to know how much fan suppoort was behind this. That's why, I'm guessing, there were so many Majora's Mask hints over that past few years. They were trying to see if a remake would actually sell. Nintendo knew a remake of Ocarina of Time would sell, because it's fucking Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask was not as popular, and to remake it required some certainty that they'd make money. The cameos in Link Between Worlds probably convinced them to go through with it.

Also, come on, if they had waited till after Hyrule Warriors to even consider this game, we'd not have such a fleshed out trailer so soon.

Well Hyrule Warriors was near completion and released in August in Japan, and this trailer came three months later, I'd think that's plenty of time to make a trailer. You might be right, but I still kind of believe that Aonuma wouldn't have wanted to split his attention between three projects at once, especially since Majora's Mask was the first game he led and he'd probably want to be heavily involved in the remake overseeing process. Grezzo posted a hiring announcement back in June, we don't know how long that process took place, and if the game was indeed in development before the release of Hyrule Warriors (which is likely), my bet is that they only spent that time building the engine based off of OoT3D's and MM's original engine and then porting the entire game into it. Aonuma didn't really need to be around for that. Once Hyrule Warriors was ready, Aonuma could come around in full force to fully oversee the creation (and it wouldn't surprise me if the game hadn't been completely rebuilt yet), and then they could go from there. Well, not "full force," as Zelda U is still in development, but he could appear in a stronger capacity. I could be completely wrong, but that's just how I see what went down.

note to self: don't post after a night out. Sorry for coming across like such a dick!

Hey, no worries, you didn't come across that way at all. :)

I am actually curious now to see how well the remake sells once it's released. Were the somewhat lower sales of the N64 version due to the expansion pak requirement, or were people just not as interested in the game? I'm wondering if the remake will do any better as far as sales go. Even though I'm not the game's biggest fan, I really hope it doesn't have low sales because of negative response to the Operation Moonfall crowd, or because the only people who wanted the game were a vocal minority (not saying they are a minority).

[The Satellite]

Well it looks like I was full of shit after all (https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKmIuDSagA). Carry on.

[Ventus]

I figured they were working on it already. It wouldn't make sense for them to remaster Ocarina Of Time and not even think about the possibility of making the next game based on that engine. I mean who would miss out on making a little extra money ;)

Also my gamestop hasn't opened Pre-orders yet for the game so for now I have to play the waiting game (which let me remind everyone I fucking hate the waiting game), me and the GS employees are really hoping for a Speicial edition of the game to come out in the USA. Hopefully one like what the Europe is getting.

Comparison video. (http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/11/07-1/video-the-legend-of-zelda-majoras-mask-clip-pits-3ds-version-against-n64-original) 3DS compared to the N64. Looks like a slight change in animation on some things as well as updated graphics.
