The point is pack-ins are not free, they make the system more expensive. I repeat, it would make more sense to sell the hardware cheaper, and recoup money from first-party sales and third party royalties. It doesn't make sense to make a system slightly more expensive by adding a pack-in-game. For the Wii, it worked, but that was a casual phenomenon that took christmas and adults non gamers by storm.

AndriaSang. It's written by an actual Japanese speaker living in Japan, so it's much more reliable for Japanese news than certain fansites.
(The presentation duckroll is forgetting is on the two Resident Evil/Biohazard titles.)

Doing a new game in a year is not something Retro has previously pulled off. Plus I would be extremely surprised if we're not getting new home console hardware fall of 2011.

I'm more concerned about if the system will be region-locked when it comes to retail games, after tasting this long bite Nintendo of America has given us by skipping releases of games already in English. Disaster may not be a very good Wii game, but I would have loved to have a legitimate chance of finding out myself without resulting to homebrew apps.
Did they say anything about that?
Vinterbird said:
Do you honestly believe that Nintendo will release a new console AND handheld within the same year? Sure, they can ala GBA and GC being released the same year, but the Wii has enough games in the que to keep it cooking for another year. Dragon Quest X, Zelda, The Last Story, Xenoblade (Internationally, anyway) and Rhythm Heaven Wii, to just name the few we know of. They might find themselves in a difficult situation releasing new hardware products in such a short span from one another, especially in such a global economical state we're in, which is the reason I think if we hear anything on a successor, it will just be talks about it.

Those presentations are apparently going to be broadcast on the net by Nintendo.
Anyone else thought this was curious?
It makes sense to talk about the 'Resident Evil Series' with the Capcom presentation because there isn't just one specific RE game, but two.
Maybe another MGS game will be announced during this presentation? Or am I reading too much into them not specifying the one MGS game we already know about?

yeah but if Nintendo needs it, they sit down and develop. Plus, they could re-use a lot of the assets and i'll eat my hat if they don't have a lot of stuff they couldn't include in 1. Plus plus, they need something for 2011. And I don't see them releasing a new piece of hardware besides the 3DS, unless it's some irrilevant shit like the Emotion Sensor or whatever the heck it's called
Ocarina of Time 3D is what I want to see most.Vinterbird said:
I want to see the kingdom of my childhood reborn with brand-new art assets and silky smooth animation... I want to see Hyrule Castle gleaming in the setting sun, and Ganon's Castle beneath a boiling black sky... I want to walk slowly, reverently, through the Temple of Time and examine the Spiritual Stones glistening on the altar...
I want to see the dragon Volvagia spiraling through the smoke of the Fire Temple before plunging into lava... I want to see Phantom Ganon galloping out of a painting of a haunted hollow in the Forest Temple...
I want to grab a cucco and sail into the ravine at Gerudo Valley, and swan-dive off the waterfall in Zora's Domain... I want to see the Goron leader, Darunia, dancing to the beat of Saria's Song, or the Great Deku Tree recounting how the world was created before wilting away and dying...
I want to use my boomerang to sever tentacles in the soft, squishy innards of Jabu-Jabu's Belly... I want to grapple a blood-soaked Dead Hand at the bottom of Kakariko's well...
I want to see good ol' Dampe trudging through the rain, unearthing graves, and the spirits of the twin composers, Flat and Sharp, at the far end of the graveyard, and the bit where lightning splits the tombstone en route to the Sun's Song...
I want to run through Hyrule Field, fleeing Peahats by day, shambling Stalchildren by night... I want to while away the hours fishing at Lake Hylia, selling masks to a guard who wants to make his kid smile, or milking cows with Epona's Song at Lon Lon Ranch...
I want to see Ganondorf burst out of the rubble of his collapsed castle, flash the Triforce of Power on the back of his hand and transform into a hulking, hooved monstrosity so bad-ass that unlike every other boss in the game, he needs no subtitle, just his name in bold 72-size font: GANON.
All in the palm of my hands... In widescreen... And immersive, richly layered stereo 3D... With a clutter-free HUD and your Equipment, Invetory, Map and Status subscreens available at your fingertips... Adventuring on the go... *touches self*

If you really want to play Ocarina of Time you can get it from the Virtual Console.

Because they're remaking one of the most heralded games of all times?
That's an odd reason.

Give us extra dungeons in OoT and you have a masterpiece.
Though I just waxed poetic about OoT, Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game. That said, I obviously LOVE OoT. I can't wait to see it portable and more gorgeous than ever. The GameCube-grade art assets, revamped animations and rock-solid framerate are reason enough to give it another go, as are the streamlined HUD, touchscreen enhancements and widescreen 3D. Plus, each purchase of OoT 3D means Nintendo has that much more incentive to make a MM 3D!

they couldn't afford to sell the wii for $200 here. adding a pack in game adds to the cost, but the *value* it adds to the consumer isn't linear with the manufacturing cost it adds.Shikamaru Ninja said:
adding Wii sports to the Wii made the sale 'it's $250 with a game'. had it been (guessing here) $240 without a game, that wouldn't have been as easy a sale even though it would have been $10 cheaper.
it's believed that something similar is happening in japan with the cradle and the packed in AR stuff.
none of that is free to add, but it makes the package seem better value than the package without them would seem. the perceived value they add, is more than the actual cost of adding them.
and yeah, it worked for the Wii. i love how you discount that by saying 'but the Wii was a phenomenon'. the pack in was part of the phenomenon. it wasn't incidental, it contributed to it.

I hope Midna is somehow going to be shoehorned/retconned into OoT 3DS. It'll be super awkward and super awesome.

j/k but would be really cool

Wouldn't it be nice if they announced that you can transfer your virtual console games to your 3DS and play them there? Like PSOne classic on your PSP.
Instant purchase in that case. Legal portable classic console gaming.
It could be a gold mine.

I've been thinking about this, maybe they'll add scenes or story parts to make the timeline work better. Ever since Aonuma said it's real that could be possible.Emonga said:
At the same time I fear that there'll be one bad game design decision involved. Like you can only aim your bow and arrow using the tilt sensors.

It's the only version of the game I don't have. Maybe I should get it just to have it.
I wouldn't ever do that.
I haven't played OoT since 2003, and I haven't played the original since 1999. OOT3D will be my fourth time through the game, making it the only game I'll have completed start-to-finish four times.

I think I'll rebuy Ocarina. I played it only once after all since I'm not into replaying games ad nauseam, but I need to find the goddamn Skulltula in the Deku Tree, the ONLY one I missed

Somehow I doubt you'll be able to transfer your PSOne classics from your PSP to your 3DS...Dogfacedgod said:
