Same here. Has anybody at Nintendo ever expressed the idea to "remake" MM? It's a great game, but Nintendo just barely started to acknowledge it's existence. It doesn't seem all that important to them.

Aonuma and Miyamoto have both expressed interest in it, actually. But that doesn't mean it's happening.
Nintendo has put some nods to MM in stuff, most notably the mask showing up in ALBW. For whatever reason, Aonuma has been asked about a Majora's Mask remake in most interviews recently. The notion isn't entirely farfetched.
It's just that people so darn sure that it's coming that amuses me. This is what leads to those big ol' embarassing meltdowns after E3 conferences: misplaced expectations.
All that being said, I think a Majora's Mask remake would be fantastic, and I do hope they have one in the works. Grezzo did a stellar job on the OOT remake.

I'm not going to be disappointed if theres no remake, but they have been so heavily alluding to it recently that it would seem silly not to. Plus, it would be so easy to make and would likely be at least moderately successful, thinking 1-2 million sales easily.
Reggie wore a metroid pin and has made several side remarks about Metroid in the past few directs. But I won't be fooled into thinking there's a new metroid. I can't let that happen. The disappointment would be crushing.
E3 has taught me that your heart must remain black. Then even the weakest surprise can bring light into your life. It's the only way.
If not Sakurai then developed by Kamiya at platinum, the Murasame Castle franchise has so much potential and could be Nintendo's game for the ''hardcore'' audience especially if developed by kamiyaTakamaru never gets any love.
That's one series I'd love to see revived Sakurai-style.
About Majoras Mask didn't Aonuma say he was interested but he would first want an original Zelda game for 3DS than another port. So now that LBW is out there's no obstacle for Majoras Mask to get made

Well yeah, just a lil bit more work and it would be perfect for me personally.
Did you replace it with a better screenshot btw?

God yes, I like the way you think.
put me on the Hype train too :3
here's to Zelda U destroying gaf.
I wouldn't mind if X had a name too ;d
I actually want them to keep it as just "X". Seems unique. At least to me.
And then people will ask the cashier "where's Y version?" >.>

Why a port, do you mean remake?

I'd definitely buy an HD remake of that game. It's such a solid experience. Hopefully they can find a way to insert crisper texture work in there. Unlike SS or WW, TP in it's current form doesn't look too great in HD.
yeah my bad.. full fledge remake showing the power of the new console

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I could see them adding a texture filter of some sort. TP was kind of grainy looking to begin with.

Is it too late to board the hype train? I would love to be on the train as well. The hype is building!

I have been lurker for this thread ever since it was created. Please add me for Hype Train, but I probably would go back to lurker again since I don't really want to overhype this E3. I know this E3 would have potential to be good one but we don't know for sure. Even we already know few things like Zelda U, Smash Bros, Bayonetta, and X.

Kind of off-topic, but after this month passes, Scott Moffitt would have been at his current role as EVP of Marketing at Nintendo of America, Inc. longer than Cammie Dunaway has retained that position.
Really puts time into perspective.

seeing how he's handled the WiiU and to a lesser extent the 3DS he's been there way too long

With Metroid, I'd be more excited about a well polished side-scroller than a FPS. Something that has an art style similar to this:

Or if we're lucky, a repeat of 2002/2003, when we got a side-scrolling and FPS Metroid only months apart (on the same day for some of you).

He's also the only one who publicly acknowledged the fact that Nintendo not having account based purchases was a problem (until only recently). That's gotta count for something right?
That's why it won't be a New Super Mario Bros game. Just a 2D Mario, new series
Assuming it would be their big holiday game for 3DS (November 21 or whatever), I'm thinking it's been enough time between the release of Pikmin 3 (July 2013) for them to have a new game ready for late this year.
What else would their big holiday game be? Even if Smash is out before Black Friday (doubt it), what does 3DS have?
I could see a classic 2D Metroid for 3DS but for WiiU Nintendo needs to go all out in terms of production values and have Metroid and Zelda be the games that showcase the graphical prowess of the console

All aboard the Hype Train! Zelda alone is enough to put me there. Nintendo's recent videos have inspired confidence that they can put on a show, too.
I think we'll get a Majora's Mask remake and a Metroid U eventually, but I doubt they will be revealed this E3. 2016-17 is my guess.

Maybe he just plays the cards he's been dealt with as best he can, hardware sales are bad even in Japan for instance. If his input is what gave me the 2DS though then I'm okay with him
could be but still he's job is marketing and WiiU's marketing has been abysmal thus farMaybe he just plays the cards he's been dealt with as best he can, hardware sales are bad even in Japan for instance. If his input is what gave me the 2DS though then I'm okay with him

If you're given shit, you can only create sculptures out of shit. Which is what he's done (NA is the best performing market for the Wii U).
God, the thought of remaking a Wii game seems so strange to me.

If a MM remake doesn't come I won't be too heartbroken, since I have it on the VC anyway and am not adverse to playing it there.
But I would never say no to updated textures, polygons, controls, and stable 30fps.

I dunno man aren't good marketing people supposed to turned shit into gold and sell ice to the Eskimos, I'm not saying the guy is responsible for WiiU not selling well but it's no secret WiiU's marketing campaign has been awful Nintendo was promoting WiiU at pottery barn for God's sake

They only just finished up with Triple Deluxe. HAL is pretty big (140 or so people), but it can take them a long time to make new console Kirby games.

Haven't you heard? The Wii U's biggest problem was marketting, but it's clearly not the marketting guys fault. <sarcasm>
Do we know who's working on Yarn Yoshi? HAL?

Humbly requesting a spot on the Hype Train, if you've room for another junior.
I'm hoping for Majora's Mask 3D, but I'll be happy with any Zelda news, even if it means I have to get a Wii U to play it.
Really hoping there's a story trailer for X. It's the one thing that could put my doubts to rest about that title.

We'll be lucky to get anything Metroid related. The series may well be dead.

Wasn't there a 7-8 year gap between Super Metroid and Fusion/Prime?
