There are video games coming out for Nintendo platforms.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is coming June 19 in the US, Nintendo said this morning, making good on its promise that the updated game would hit the Nintendo 3DS at some point this summer. But, I think it’s of note that the game is missing the publisher’s absurdly elongated “launch window” that closes on June 7 with the start of E3 2011.
Ocarina of Time 3D will be the fifth or so major re-release of the original N64 title, but it is, to be fair, a pretty complete package. Ocarina of Time 3D features updated graphics, re-arranged dungeon content via the Master Quest portion of the game, and new controls that make the title, according to Nintendo designer Eiji Aonuma, easier to manage.
In other Nintendo release date news, the publisher has announced that Wii Play sequel, Wii Play: Motion, is hitting on June 13 for the Wii with a total of 12 “new” motion games. Also, a front-runner for the second quarter to Nintendo, at least, is seek-and-find Wii game Mystery Case Files: Dust to Dust, which hits on June 27 according to today’s press release.
== TEASER ==Here’s the rest of Nintendo’s second quarter line-up. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into these Reader Rabbit games. Take note of the fact that Duke Nukem: Critical Mass is still slated to come out despite all signs pointing to "No, this isn't coming out." Also, Nintendo isn't releasing any other 3DS titles in the second quarter. The Ocarina remake is the lone Nintendo-produced game.

Wow there really still isn't anything exciting coming out yet. I mean of the games listed I'm most interested in pac-man & galaga dimensions. PAC-MAN AND GALAGA. Truly Nintendo is pushing handheld gaming into the next generation.
My first reaction to the Zelda date was "Well, guess I know when I'm getting a 3DS." Then, three seconds later, I realized how ridiculous that sounds. Why do I want to pay $300 to play a 13 year-old game I've played through numerous times. Oh, but it's enhanced and has the master quest! Yeah...I played that on GameCube.
Still waiting for a real reason to buy this thing.
I don't know about everyone here but looking at this list of Wii games the console seems to be sighing its last breaths.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a new Nintendo console announced this year at E3 and I sure as hell hope that they don't come up with all that Wii HD crap.
Nintendo needs to suit the fuck up. New 3DS system and there's jack to play, a lone Zelda, no matter how good, is not gonna fix that. Where's Smash Bros? Earthbound? Mario Kart? Anything?
I'm slowly losing my faith in Nintendo, and since I don't look forward to scrubbing the Zelda tattoo of my shoulder I really hope they gear up soon.
So for good game the wii maybe has the conduit 2? The 3DS has OoT, Cave Story 3D, DOA D, Blazblue II portable, and splinter cell 3D. Aside from the fact that DOA is the only game here that's not a remake or port there's not much going for the system at the moment.
" N64 - original game, groundbreaking at the time.GCN - "collectors disc," ahh nostalgia.Wii - virtual console, well there's not much else to do on this system.3DS - straight up port, spent $250 on this system, and there's nothing else to play. I'm a diehard Nintendo fan, please take my $40 to play a game I have multiple versions of that I don't touch. "

" Wow, look at that Wii lineup.It's almost like developers were busy working on games for a new Nintendo console... "
You totally called it. With a first- and third-party drought this bad, we must be just a few months away from Nintendo unveiling their next home console, and actually shipping won't come long after that.
Well there's Zelda for my 3DS....Sigh...I might check out Cave Story even though I played through the PC version. It does seem like a fitting game for a hand held.
I can't wait until there are more games for my new toy. I actually had to send it in because of an overly wobbly top screen, so I don't feel like I'm missing out on too much right now.
