Ocarina of Time remade for the 3DS

Between this, the remake of Star Fox 64, new Paper Mario, and the new Golden Sun, I think I might finally upgrade my old DS Phat.

Yah, this Star Fox and Paper have me sold on this console regardless of the quality of the 3d.

Yeah It seems like they have a great system on their hands.

I was about to do the whole, "isn't this still just a rumor?" spiel, but I wasn't aware that those shots came from Nintendo's servers, so okay, I'll start believing now.
 
I'm in the same boat, though. Ocarina of Time has a hell of a legacy, but I wasn't pining for a remake of it. If they do enough to the game to make it relevant (in a modern sense, not just historical) and fit at home on the 3DS, then I could be on board. But until then, I'm holding out until we see more gameplay footage and the like before coming to conclusions either way. Hype over the potential for an Ocarina of Time remake is almost as cliche as one for Final Fantasy VII at this point, so there's no rush for enlightenment on this stuff for me.
 
I should probably also disclose that I was always one of those crazy people that liked Majora's Mask more. Just saying is all.

I consider this unnecessary, but it will be cool to play a truly 3D (in the traditional sense) Zelda on a handheld for the first time."

No. This has always been a problem for me, and it went away for a while, but now it's more of a problem than ever with all this 3D shit coming out. 
 
POLYGONAL =/= 3D. Get that shit straight, we have had polygonal graphics for fucking ever and people still can't properly articulate what they are trying to say without confusing the shit out of everyone. 3D is 3D, polygonal is polygonal. The More You Know. "

Already a thread HERE.

Do want.

I still have my N64 which I play on occasion, but this is great news for those that do not, or more importantly, those that are too young to have played OoT originally.

But we have been using the term 3D since the N64 came out. It's hard to change. Especially when 2D made a comeback this gen, so now we have to differentiate between 2D, 3D, and 3D 3D. "

Mmmm 2.5D feels so good on my body though

And it's been the wrong term since the N64 came out. Doesn't make it okay. 
 
@AgentJ: There is no 2.5D, there's sprites and polygons. It's one or the other. "

I just played through Ocarina of Time on the Virtual Console. It holds up pretty well, despite having a slow start. If Nintendo can polish it a little bit around the edges, then it could be a fantastic port.

Might actually play through it now. I've beaten Majora's Mask plenty of times between the n64 and gamecube versions, but always got bored halfway through OoT.

Interesting

" Do want. "

I certainly hope this comes to pass, it seems like the way the images were stored on the website that it might have just been an unused tech demo or something, can't wait to find out more.

Thats it, im getting this game and a 3DS day one.

Oh...god...

Once everyone gets it, they'll complain about it. Not the same experience as it was when you were 11.

there is already a thread on this

Im so happy i could hug you guys

What a waste of time and resources.
 
Ocarina of Time won't benefit in any way, shape or form from 3D.

Eh. I replayed OOT, like, a year ago(and a lot of people replay it all the time). Its a fine-ass game, way ahead of its time, and fully deserving of the praise it gets. "

I have always disliked that term since they started using.  What does it even mean? It doesn't exist in any reality.  It's 2D gameplay with 3D graphics. Not 2.5D. "

2.5 D is a commonly accepted term. Capcom itself used the term to describe Street Fighter 4. So stop whining. "

Ok, I'm bumping this mostly irrelevant thread simply because someone (maybe someone who posted here...?) got their email read on the bombcast re: the 3D vs. polygonal issue, and the guys TOTALLY AGREED WITH ME, while Jeff went so far as to refer to people who use the term 2.5D as "not very smart". I'd just like to take this opportunity to say...suck it :P

OH GOD JEFF GERSTMAN AGREED WITH YOU OH GOD FAP FAP FAP FAP

Well, if people would learn not to disagree with me, I wouldn't have to rub this shit in their faces.

Happning to have a similar opinion as some random American video game 'journalist' is nothing to rub into anyone's face.
 
 
FAP FAP FAP.

I don't know about "random"...this is his "website" after all.
 
I'm also not too sure about putting "random" quotes around words, it makes you seem like a "douche".

2.5D is one of the stupidest things the internet has created so far. 
 
End of story.
