Majora's Mask 3DS

[jay_are]

The truth is, I would buy 10 copies of Lunar 2 if it got remade wonderfully.
But no. Sadly, Althena wont let us show our love and devotion.
But GUYS, I think there's another game I'm willing to buy 10 copies of. See, at least these people MADE IT HAPPEN.

Apparently this special edition is european (for now) and I would import it, but hey maybe the USA will get something similar too if not exactly the same.

I'm interested in it, but chances are I'll let it pass like all the other Zelda remakes on the 3DS. >.> Don't get me wrong I like Zelda, but I'm not hardcore about it like some other games.

[Alunissage]

I'll be getting it, of course. I've never finished the game (my N64 cart has a save from 2002 on it) because it made me motion sick. Ocarina did too at first but after a few hours it passed, but for some reason it never did for MM.

[brightshield]

Of course I'll be getting my favorite Zelda game all over again.

I'm really excited for this. I never had a N64 or GameCube, so I ended up missing both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask when they were released. I didn't play Ocarina of Time until it was finally released for the 3DS (by the way... even if you already played it, it's well worth getting the 3DS version on its own), so I was hoping they'd eventually release Majora's Mask for the 3DS as well since that was the only way I'd ever play it.

I think Jenner went ahead and pre-ordered it for the both of us once it was announced. KF

[Jenner]

I did do that.

How the hell did you avoid spoilers for so long?

I'm not really sure... No one has ever spoiled either Ocarina of Time (well until I'd already played it) or Majora's Mask. This is despite being surrounded by plenty of Zelda fans.

With the exception of FF7, and the Serenity movie, I've always been pretty fortunate at avoiding spoilers. And the only thing that spoiled the Serenity movie was whatever moron decided to put a spoiler on the official soundtrack (so it wasn't even a fan that spoiled it for me). KF

[Werefrog]

Is it possible to spoil Zelda? They're all the same.

[LunarRaptor]

Sarcastic yay. The worst Zelda game this side of the Philips CDi is getting a remake.

[Alunissage]

I've started playing this, though am not yet through the second set of 3 days and haven't gone to Woodfall (?) yet. So far am not having too much nausea and headaches, which is definitely a plus. Having a more normal save system (owl statues are just regular save points, not temp-saves that auto-erase when you load them) helps a lot. And as with Ocarina, the touch screen is used for various extra buttons that make it easier to get at stuff.

Why the fear of nausea/headaches? Is it the 3D or the small(er than TV) screen?

It sounds like they're making some aspects more convenient, like with Ocarina of Time. Since my first time playing that was on the 3DS, I was pretty confused when everyone else kept complaining about how irritating the Water Temple was -- since the most irritating aspect (having to go through item screens to equip/dequip the boots) was change to a simple push-button.

[Alunissage]

Oh, sorry -- I left out the context. Basically, I never finished the game on N64 because it made me feel so ill to play. I have a save I started in 2002 that's, I dunno, maybe 3/4 of the way through -- spread out over a decade of play, because I couldn't play it for very long.

Oh man, I'm just done with listening to people's complaints or praise about things xD here are some examples of how my experience is with those claims.

-Popular opinion:
In Ocarina of Time, Navi says HEY and LISTEN so often to the point of insanity.
-Reality:
I've gone through the game twice or more, and I have yet to be the least bothered by Navi.
--
-Popular opinion:
Water Temple was horrible.
-Reality:
Even the first time I played this game (N64), I wasnt THAT confused with the temple or annoyed by having to change the boots.
A little tedious, but I've seen way more tedious things that people dont care about in other games.

[Alunissage]

Navi's annoyance potential is inversely related to how well you follow her directions, and how soon. If you, say, always do the Fire Temple after the Water Temple, you hear quite a lot about that cloud over Death Mountain. It doesn't really bother me all that much myself, perhaps because I don't play the game that often, but yeah.

The Water Temple didn't bother me all that much either.

[Werefrog]

I was never THAT bothered by the Water Temple. I remember kids in school complaining about it, but it was easy for me. BUT I remember on my first playthrough I got stuck for a long time in the Forest Temple.

This topic is making me wish I could play Ocarina of Time again for the first time. It was my first Zelda game, and it just gripped me. I played through it, Link to the Past, and Link's Awakening in such a short time period.

I was never as big of fan of Majora's Mask, but I might replay the Gamecube version. Still don't have a 3DS.

...
I bought it. I shouldn't have but I did.
I'm not too far in though so I can't say much.

I do like it though.
