I would be okay with this
Majora's Mask is probably one of my favourite games of all time. I couldn't be more happy about this

Yet more Majora's Mask teasing. (Interview in Game Informer.)
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
I didn't mean it like that, it is just what I want too, I am dying to replay MM, haven't played it since the N64 days. But there is the chance of it being something else like others mentioned previously in this thread, like a MM2 on the wii u or whatever.
People who claim that are just trolling most of the time, they don't care about Nintendo games even if it was a new IP.
I welcome new IPs, but something like Zelda is so varied and unique in each iteration that it feels like a new IP to me. Mario is the same, but it's harder to notice because of the recently standardized art style across all titles.

I've been holding off replaying MM for a long time now, so I hope they announce something soon.

I think a Majora's Mask-inspired Wii U Zelda would be even better than a remake of the game itself. Having said that, obviously it makes sense for Nintendo to take advantage of MM and re-release it some fashion to promote the new game, if that's what it is they're planning.

Ocarina of Time 3D was outsourced.
Too good to be true. SS had really good characters, I also wouldn't mind a Zelda Gaiden in the vein of MM based on that.
Nope, that's EnNopp112 - the best and most entertaining Majora's Mask speedrunner out there in my opinion

Am I the only one who was a little bit disappointed with OOT 3D? I had wanted to see a remake of OOT for years, but OOT 3D was too much of a port rather than the complete remake that I was hoping for. I really hope the 'remake' of majora's mask is on the Wii U, but realistically I seriously doubt that will happen.

It was pretty and it managed to look exactly like the original OOT concept art. Don't know what more you'd want.
Do we have an announcement for this, by the by?

The January Direct will most likely be a 50 minute video of Iwata sipping scotch whilst wistfully looking out of a window, taking the time to occasionally wipe the tears from his cheek.
Any day now.

Iwata: *cries*
Is not yet official, but Renegade Kid teased there will be a "demo-event", which is pretty likely to be related to a January ND at the end of the month.

I'm starting to think that we're getting:
a) a remake on the WiiU
b) the new Zelda WiiU will be a sequel to Majora (with the of the actual Mask of Majora).
Imagine a open-world game where there are lots of masks that you can obtain.
Some masks give you a unique view on the world that you can only see through the gamepad when wearing them. They could make some cool sidequests for them.
But as usual, I'm gonna be dead wrong about this and we'll probably get MM3D or just nothing (they were just messing with our minds).

Haha, had the same idea. That'd even fit the crazy rumors of that
-guy in the other thread This idea isn't even bad, dude! Actually, I can see some nice usages of this mechanic. Masks would be like items then. Some make you see hidden things, jump higher, walk through fire, etc. It just shouldn't be annoying to change between them all the time for skills that are needed frequently.
Hmm, dunno... Let's see what they come up with! Can't wait to see it
Edit: By "Masks would be like items" I meant masks INSTEAD of the typical items^^ Might work if they do it right.

You're not the only one. I was disappointed too. They made the character models look a little closer to the old artwork and slapped some new textures on, but nothing much improved. I say some things were actually downgraded. I distantly remember the volcano making more of an impression when you exited the Temple of Time as an adult in the N64 version, but I can't be sure. I gotta youtube check on that.
They had Mahito Yokota redo the hole soundtrack... but asked him to make it sound exactly like the original. Lame.
They also brightened up the game. The original was a bit darker.
I owned the golden cartridge (lucky me, I bought the game used for the first time after the GameCube was out) so I got the red blood, moon shield, and a sampled choir music in the Fire Temple. Framerate issues and anti-aliasing aside, I still feel my N64 copy is better for the darker atmosphere. Too bad my N64 doesn't work anymore.
Both versions Skulltallas still scare the crap out of me though. Especially in the Shadow Temple. Fall right through the ceiling and right on my head why don't cha!
For Majora's Mask I'd like at least the music to be redone with new synths and samples. That game had some fantastic songs like that area where the Giant teaches you some song. Epic. And of course the song of healing and the lasts days countdown. So good.
Majora's Mask had a lot of that motion bluring thing going on in its cutscenes. I can't help but feel the 3DS game is going to cut back on that. And Grezzo will probably brighten up the game as well. Lame.
I'm not expecting much of a "remake" with Majora's Mask 3D, but here's hoping.

Yep, it's pretty mch a given that the game is coming to 3DS. Be prepared to feign surprise when it's announced.

I love Pokken!
It's not like MM was a particularly dark game to begin with. Sure, there were some dark areas, but overall it's a pretty brightly coloured game.

I'd love to see more hidden places like caves, areas, ... that are totally optional but that give you a nice incentive.
As you said, they could implement some cool masks for it.

Yeah that's pretty much exactly how I felt. Playing it on the 3DS was nice, but I kept asking myself whether there was much to gain by playing it on the 3DS rather than the 64, and I really don't think there is besides the cosmetic and UI changes. Meanwhile, I absolutely LOVE what they did with the lighting in ALBW to create an engrossing atmosphere,
especially in the dark palace

Yes everyone in this thread has probably already seen it, and yes its pre-rendered and too good to be true, but the animation, lighting and sound effects that contribute to it's largely successful atmosphere would be very difficult to achieve with 3DS grezzo 'remake'.

We can only hope so.
I would LOVE to see a kind of open world-ish Zelda game with the same atmosphere as Majora's Mask.
I would also love to see a Zelda game that shows how Majora's Mask came to be
Yes, we know the story about if from the Mask salesman, but I'm sure Aonuma and his team could make so much out of that little story.

I said the same thing about The Wind Waker in early 2002.
Agreed.
Not that I need any more games for my 3DS, but if/when Majora's Mask comes out it's getting bumped to the top of the queue.
Wow how did I never see this? Looks like it's probably fan made, but it's a really impressive piece of work. Love the detail on Deku Link and the mannerisms of the Mask Shop guy.

Everyone always says remake but I think there's a lot they could explore with from Majora's Mask (like the tribe and stuff) so a prequel would be really cool.
Heck, maybe the actual Wii U Zelda game could be that; a prequel to Majora's Mask.

Nintendo needs a Zelda Direct, like, yesterday. Unless they are one in the same, they need back to back trailers of Majora's Mask 3D and the new Wii U Zelda to lift fans spirits after all the bad news lately.

I was one of those whiny children that hated MM on the N64 because it was too different than what I was expecting.
So please please please give me another chance to enjoy this game. Grezzo did such a good job with OoT!
