Indeed. Majora's mask and Ocarina don't need or even merit 3D remakes. To turn N64 games into HD you basically have to rebuild the entire game from the ground up. However as demonstrated with ocarina 3D with just a simple re-texturing and the pre rendering replaced with real time and a few other effects in 3D looks absoloutly amazing and suits the 3DS graphics level perfectly.
So Majora's mask should get the same treatment as Ocarina did for 3DS and maybe they should add a Master quest mode or something to up the content a little.
Windwaker , TP , Skyward sword are much more suitable for HD remakes.
I pray there's still a chance. It's still so early in the WiiU's lifecycle. I should be satisfied with the W.W. remake but like most Nintendo fans I'm never satisfied! Get to work boys!
Actually I'd prefer if Link remained silent and the other characters spoke. However I would prefer if they didn't speak English and instead a fictional language, similar to characters in Shadow of the Colossus.
Don't count it out just yet. Depends on how long the next zelda game takes to develop. I mean we have only been told that there is one and have been show nothing (tech demo doesn't count as it was a tech demo for the system). We could be getting a HD remake of this as well. Just depeds on how long zelda takes to develop
I never really liked Majora's Mask, I prefer Wind Waker and Ocarina of Time but I hope we do get a remake it'll be good for the fans and for a new generation to get a chance to play it. :)
If everyone is patient, they will see after the new Zelda for 3DS drops, later on the remake of MM will be on 3DS too. They already have the assets from the OOT remake, they wont waste them. They just wont to focus on the new portable version first.
Zelda U and Wind Waker HD are both for the WiiU, right?
So doesn't that mean there's even MORE reason to hope since we know the "new" Zelda game is for the WiiU, meaning the 3DS is more likely to get a port?
And regarding Wind Waker HD... think the game would be able to run on a 3DS? That would be awesome... and I really don't want to get a WiiU any time soon (or ever) ...unless me Wii breaks.
hd done right the only thing this proves, is that nintendo dont lose their special touch, even when doing something as 'simple' as a hd re-release.
lets be honest, they could have simply re-released wind waker in hd, no new content, and people would have been happy. heck, sony and microsoft do that all the time and people lap it up.
but what nintendo are doing with windwaker is actually giving it a 'fresh lick of paint.' its not merely a hd re-release. and it looks effing amazing, i might add.
to give the same treatment to majoras mask would basically mean remaking the game from scratch. since the games graphics are so old, simply putting it in hd and changing the lighting would not do it any favours.
but nobody, yes, NOBODY saw wind waker hd coming. so who knows what other surprises nintendo has up their sleeves.
I don't see how Wind Waker HD for the Wii U means no more remakes for the 3DS. That said, I think the conjunction approach works the best. Since it takes so long to release newer games, throw out some nice looking remakes to hold fans over. That approach has worked pretty well for Sony in the past. Still waiting for Sly 4? Try the HD collection. I think Nintendo could totally approach both of their current platforms the same way.
The most likely senario is that the Major's Mask Remake ends up being on the 3ds. Think about it, they are also making a new Zelda 3ds game, maybe they will release a majoras mask remake before they release that game, much like they are releasing the Windwaker remake before the new Zelda Wii u .
If the devs that worked on OoT 3D are doing Wind Waker HD with Nintendo, then yeah it's probably far off now instead of something we could possibly see this year or next.
I don't see how there's no hope for an MM remake, now that they can reuse alot of assets from the OoT 3DS remake. I hope they will still make Majora's Mask at some point and it should be for 3DS instead of Wii U.
thats not true because we had no idea wind waker hd was coming...i think nintendo is working on bringing alot of games out for wiiu and i wont be surprise if majora's make it out next year
Ocarina of time did well on 3ds so majoras mask on 3ds makes sense.
So Majora's mask should get the same treatment as Ocarina did for 3DS and maybe they should add a Master quest mode or something to up the content a little.
Windwaker , TP , Skyward sword are much more suitable for HD remakes.
They've been quiet since OOT 3DS was released.
Maybe they are doing the Wind Waker HD for the Wii U?
So doesn't that mean there's even MORE reason to hope since we know the "new" Zelda game is for the WiiU, meaning the 3DS is more likely to get a port?
