Aonuma: Majora's Mask 3D possible if "clamor from fans is there"!

Use the 3DS for a novel idea for a Zelda game...top screen could be a 3D OoT-style game in 3D, while the bottom would be a classic 2D game...and the main gimmick would be using both views in order to conquer puzzles. I'd love to see that.

But, yeah, a 3D Majora's Mask would rock...the one thing I'd like to see fixed, akin to the Water Temple fix, is making it so you don't have to play the Elegy of Emptiness 3 times whenever you want to rotate the Stone Tower Temple. :/ Hated that.
 
I wont lie, I'd buy it day one, but I'd much rather Nintendo focus those resources on a 3DS specific Zelda.
 
Okay, I would love to see another Majora's Mask revitalized in 3D this time around.
However, the question in the back of everyone's mind, just for the kicks, would be: "Imagine if he pulls a Capcom".

I mean pulling a Capcom should in the urban dictionary right about now.
 
MM remake on 3DS???

Make us beg for decade old ports, Nintendo. Please.

Some of us would actually like to see the game have its framerate and countless bugs fixed and have some of its uglier, low poly geometry and character models and low resolution textures be upgraded to make it look more like the dev team's original concept. I don't understand your attitude towards this.

First they'd tell us they're making it. And then months later they'd say they were only thinking about it. And then they cancel it. It's game development in reverse!

It's just ridiculous that this isn't a no brainer for them. They've already done OoT so the dev pipeline is done. They obviously knew we wanted it. Look at the PS3. They put 2 or 3 games on their HD ports. Nintendo releases one game and makes us beg for them to release another one.
 
Got to say I wouldn't give Nintendo any more for this. Don't like games that have Time elements in them just bother me for some reason.

I rather they spend the time and money on a new Zelda for 3DS.

I'm sure it is a no-brainer. They probably just don't have it in development yet so they aren't going to announce it.

It should be a game where you pretend to be the Hero of Legend but you're a fraud. And you're also pretending to be a guy.

Like Mulan (except for the hero part)? That would be interesting (in a bad way, but still interesting).

Anyway, *clamor*.
 
Hasn't everyone realized yet that this is basically code speak for "we're not making it, but it amuses me to make fans feel like utter shit about it by telling them it's their fault"

Yeah, it's the new fad nowadays! :D I wished for this to happen as Majora's Mask was my favorite Zelda, I wanted the sales for OoT to skyrocket! Sure enough, they were pretty high, and enough to subsidize the next project with Grezzo.

Surely they don't read web forums

By making the decision internally then giving responsibility to the fans so they can pat themselves on their collective backs.
 
As long as it doesn't take on development time for Zelda 3DS, bring in that port.

I'd like it to be real time like Animal Crossing, but we would have like a month, to finish it.
 
If they do make an MM for 3DS they need to include a save anywhere feature and not the time reset in order to save bullshit they had in the original version.

Eh, scratch that, just make a new 3DS Zelda... MM does not make a good portable game.

It'd be called "closing your 3DS."
 
I'd love to see this game (never was able to play it on the N64) but, much like others, after the whole Xenosaga and MML3 debacles I'm really super wary of companies trolling us.

Still, I'd buy this day one, if they ship more than 12 copies like OoT3D. And it's ZELDA, right? Nintendo wouldn't just pull the rug out from under one of their God Tier franchises, right...?
 
i'm not going to make like everyone else and will say instead:

if Skyward Sword is really a great game, getting a new game over the MM3DS port is justified. if SS sucks dick, the remake is much more welcomed over a new game since it would be a fact Nintendo can't make a good zelda anymore.

i want MM3DS precisely because the latest games have been bad compared to the OoT/MM/Oracles/TWW string and having the n64 games with more current-gen graphics would be really nice (they're the games that have aged the worst next to the NES ones)

Well, if they went back to the 7 day cycle as originally planned, the saving wouldn't be such a burden among some fans.
 
There is! There is! My all time favorite Zelda!!!

Can't wait for this to see the day. I'm sure it will no matter what "operation" happens. Probably already being ported over.

Pretty much this. Trying the you guys didn't care enough excuse. This business mentality is making me rage. Make a quality product and market it and it will sell.
 
I'd buy it if they got the art right. The game needs to be pseudo cell shaded or no purchase.

As for what I mean by pseudo cell shaded, if you look at the games promo artwork, you'll see that whilst shadows are pure black, the illuminated areas still sport colour gradients.

As such to perfectly capture this kind of look in 3D graphics, you'd need to use a combination both cell shading and gouraud/phong shading. Simply using one or the other would, in my opinion, look pretty boring and would not get me to reverse my "no double dipping" policy.
 
I am clamoring to an extent that has not been seen in my neighborhood since the Giants won the World Series.

I've done my part, Nintendo.

It would take no resources from original 3DS Zelda since like OOT 3D Majora's Mask would be developed by Grezzo.
 
Maybe it's just me but I'm getting a bit tired of this whole "If fans show this", "If fans want it" etc etc. Obviously they know from their own research if it would be viable or not to do a project. I've been seeing this a lot lately and it's irritating.
 
Considering that Majora basically reuses OoT's stuff this really shouldn't drain that many resources. Wasn't OoT3D partially outsourced anyway? It'll cost less to make so the profit will be even higher. It's a no-brainer.
 
I'm totally up for it! It's not like it would interfere with EAD as Grezzo can just make it.
There are plenty of scenes that would benefit from the 3D.
 
as someone said in the OOT thread, id support this just for the Iwata Asks that would come along. id love to see the stories that came out of this game in the original development.
 
I think sales for OOT3DS are good enough proof of "clamor" in this case. I think we'll see it being made. A victory, if you really really really love remakes. C'mon guys.
 
Don't bullshit us Nintendo.
If you aren't already busy with Majora's Mask 3D you are doing something very very wrong.

I hope to god that grezzo is already on this for a 2012 release. Otherwise don't bother and do a fullfledge HD remake for Wii U. Damn I just gave myself a boner.
