Support NeoGAF

[RyoonZ]

What? This is a sequel?

 

[evilromero]

This is what Nintendo has needed for years now. It looks exactly like what I wanted Zelda to be. I hope the overworld is awesome because it's now trying to live up to the greatest Zelda of all time.

 

[JoeFenix]

Not feeling it.

I got excited and then I saw this.....

I`m sure it will play great and I`ll definitely still check it out but that artstyle is.... Unfortunate to say the least.

 

[prwxv3]

And people on GAF will still complain and bash the game before playing it. I'm fucking sick of this. :/

They can bash it over the artstyle dude.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Holiday 2013 in NA.

Excited. Nintendo Direct delivered.

Thank you based god.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

I was so excited when I read the title, then so disappointed when I saw this.

How does this look bad? No seriously, how? "Because it doesn't use sprites" is not a valid answer.

 

[GetemMa]

this announcement turned what was a borderline infuriating Nintendo Direct into pure joy.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

gthe fuck?

I'm not the only one.

 

[Varjet]

That better not be the final title.

 

[Sandfox]

Wow. Shitty art direction and I'm so sick of 2.5D. Make it 2D. 2D Sprites would look awesome on the 3DS and the 3D could be awesome.

UGH.

People would complain if they released a 2D Zelda game and a full 3D Link to the Past sequel would be extremely weird.

 

[?oe?oe]

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

1.) No one EVER likes a new Zelda artstyle when it's first unveiled. We'll all get over it.
2.) Top down Zelda is best Zelda.

 

[-Horizon-]

My body wasn't ready for this.

Nintendo taking all our money!

 

[Crazymoogle]

Dungeons have always looked spartan in the SNES style. The overworld stuff looks fine.

 

[Derrick01]

I hate how it looks. It looks like some cartoony hybrid of a new super mario bros game and a kirby game. Too bad because the news itself got my interest a bit.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Looks like Zelda 3D Land... I'M IN!

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

 

[Koodo]

GIVE IT TO ME.

HOOK IT UP STRAIGHT TO MY VEINS.


The art style left me a bit cold from what we saw, but I have a feeling the 3D will look magnificent.

 

[ScOULaris]

Some crazy shit goin' down today. They must really want people to start buying the 3DS, huh?

 

[Remachinate]

Thank god, another top-down Zelda game, finally.

 

[razgriz417]

Not how I wanted for it to look...

Yea, really disliking this art style :/

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

Holy fuck on a fuckboat. Zelda III is my favorite game of all time, cannot wait.

EDIT: I like the artstyle, those hating it now will love it in 5-10 years and will be bitching about all subsequent 2D Zeldas that don't look like it.

 

[Why would you do that?]

This is the part that really sold me on the game, though.

 

[Celegus]

Daaaang this Nintendo Direct is killing it! Not so much to save the Wii U, but 3DS galore!

 

[evilromero]

Thread title needs to be "A Link to the Past 2" which suggests it is a sequel.

 

[tuffy]

I was hoping for top-down view Zelda on the 3DS, so this is good news to me.

 

[Tuck]

Yuck. :/ New Super Zelda Bros.

My biggest complaint is Link's model. Looks very odd.

But... its a step up from the DS Zeldas...

 

[Broder Salsa]

i am cryign so hard right now

so beautyful

 

[Munin]

Just what is it with Nintendo being unable to deliver decent graphics for most of their first party handheld titles in recent years? They made beautiful games up till the DS, and now this game, the new Yoshi's Island, NSMB, they all look like amateur hour. Reminds me of awkward looking early PSX platformers back when everyone wanted to get into rendered sprites. God. Lazy fucks

 

[Jamix012]

That art style is hideous. What are they thinking?


2014

2013 actually.

 

[Stumpokapow]

How does this look bad? No seriously, how? "Because it doesn't use sprites" is not a valid answer.

You are currently having a meltdown. You should stop having a meltdown.

 

[Ohnonono]

Exciting titles but holy crap this and Yoshi's Island look like crap. It doesn't seem hard to make a good looking Zelda game ffs.

 

[Kyari]

You know, I think I can forgive them not announcing a remake of Majora's Mask for this.

 

[monome]

imgur pics for work peasants?

 

[Taruranto]

So, is this Alttp in 3D or a Zelda set in Alttp world with a lot of hand-holding?

 

[Sqorgar]

Recharging shields (magic)! It truly is a 2013 game.

Looks like a stamina bar to me. Skyward Sword had one too.

 

[fisheyes]

Not a real sequel if Link doesn't have Pink hair.

 

[Basileus777]

Art style was really ugly.

 

[GulAtiCa]

I think the art style looks fine. Can't wait to view it in 3D

 

[Just take it with you.]

Not a fan of the artstyle, but I'll keep my eye on it nonetheless.

 

[GregLombardi]

Link's model really feels super off from the top down, graphically.

That said, SO happy they are making this game. YES.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Are you guys serious with this?? We get a link to the past sequel and people are complaining?

My. God.

 

[radioheadrule83]

People who wanted the next Ocarina/Majora engine game are gonna be pissed -- but I think that's still coming, don't fret guys

THIS though, is awesome. LTTP is my favourite game of my childhood, topping even the sublime Super Metroid for me. The Master Sword not sleeping forever more is like... the best news ever to me.

That art style is hideous. What are they thinking?

2014

Bizarrely, its Holiday 2013 in the west - Reggie just confirmed

 

[guek]

lol at ppl bitching about the artstyle. It's pretty much exactly how I want it to look.

 

[Skyzard]

Closer to getting me to buy a 3DS, artstyle in that gif looks fine to me as well - is the whole thing 2.5d?

By the time a new revision comes out hopefully these new games will be out. All that I'm really missing is a pokemon snap, starfox game and f-zero. Nintendo rocking their portable though. Wish Sony would show a little more effort in revealing what they're working on.

 

[Einbroch]

People would complain if they released a 2D Zelda game and a full 3D Link to the Past sequel would be extremely weird.

I'm sure people would complain. I would not be one of those people.

I'm just not liking the 2.5D treatment a lot of games are getting. Fire Emblem strikes a perfect balance between 2D and 3D. The 3DS, in my opinion, just isn't strong enough to support these titles.

 

[Beaniedude]

So where does this fit into the timeline guys?

 

[outunderthestars]

At least they aren't forcing you to use stylus only controls!

 

[Ushojax]

I got excited and then I saw this.....

I`m sure it will be play great and I`ll definitely still check it out but that artstyle is.... Unfortunate to say the least.

The artstyle looks pretty much the same to me, just 3D. I think it looks great and I can't wait to see the different environments.

Also the music is going to be so good.
