So, I read on this page or the last that Nintendo simply releasing a barebones HD upres retaining all of the original graphics would have been a preferable option?
If that had happened, Nintendo would have been called lazy, it would have been seen as a cash grab and it would have gone against the effort they have proven to put into these titles as OOT3D shows.
I fully predict MM3D will be incredibly well received. They've made some great changes to make it more accessible without compromising the key design formula of the game, it looks fantastic as a 3DS title and it's having a really big marketing push, more than OOT3D ever got. And under all of that, it is a genuinely stunning game, possibly the best Nintendo have ever made.
Yet, people are complaining about a discrepancy in fog and other such silly details that really don't mean anything. Typical internet.
