ALBW is also pretty much a 10+ year idea..
Unpopular doesn't always mean the "worst", but MM is indeed (one of the) most unpopular/lesser known Zelda's. Sure, every Zelda fan knows about it, but there are other casual Zelda players too. I guess because it always lived in OoT's shadow. Which isn't a shame really, for me, OoT is the best gamer ever. By. A. Long. Shot.Majora's Mask is unpopular?
News to me.
Maybe we'll get both, a MM 3D remake and a MM sequel on Wii U.
I still kinda think that in the same way A Link to the Past was influential for building A Link Between Worlds, Majora's Mask will be used as a kinda template/influence for building Zelda Wii U.
I just need them to tell me if I should wait or if I should just go through the Wii VC version I already have. I've been holding off on playing that version in case a remake with some enhancements is made. JUST FUCKING TELL ME NINTENDOLTS.
Just play regular MM. I finally played it almost exactly a year ago in a 100% run. Absolutely worth it to experience the original before they do a remake/enhanced version.
but the framerate...
It's absolutely brutal
It's fine.
Majora's Mask is the only Zelda I've never played (besides Minish Cap) so this is essentially the new Zelda for me. I really can't wait, wish they'd reveal it already.
Ocarina has three direct sequel thanks to the split timeline.
-Wind waker takes place in Adult Link time line.
-Majora's Mask takes place in Child Link time line.
-Twilight Princess which takes place after Majora's Mask and continues the story set in Ocarina of Time.
After seeing the sales of Star Fox 3DS, I'd be pretty surprised Nintendo would greenlight a MM remake. I think they've already gotten the nostalgia buys with OOT 3DS. Now you'd just be appealing to the hard core fans of a Nintendo 64 game... over a decade after it released.
Happy to be wrong, though! After playing MM on VC, I would like a new version with improved framerate, and a camera that lets you see more of the world.
Remaking the most unpopular Zelda while your console struggles to sell it such a Nintendo move I can see it happening.
I wouldn't bother. The framerate is pretty bad at points, the graphics are a bit muddy.... Might as well wait and play a more optimised version, even if it is on a smaller screen.So since MM is probably going to be remade, should I bother playing the N64 version? I took it out and it's sitting beside my TV but hesitant to play it because if a remake comes out, it might take out the experience playing it for the first time.
Yes, because Grezzo, the tiny company that remaked OoT and would also develop the 3DS remake of Majora's Mask, would otherwise develop a blockbuster Wii U game.
speaking for yourself
Missed out on the two best Zelda games of each dimension.
I've been holding off from re-playing Majora's Mask since OOT 3D was first announced at E3 2010, as even at that point it seemed inevitable.
yep, I've been waiting four years now almost.
What's next, another Chibo Robo?
Did the general public or even hardcore gamers ask for another Luigi's Mansion?
YesWhat's next, another Chibo Robo?
What now? Minish cap is the best 2D Zelda? Thank you for the laughs. That is the most cut and paste phoned in Zelda title ever released. It also was incredibly short and easy and lacked anything new. For a game that came out after the DS was already out, my expectations were way higher.
Did the general public really want an HD re-release to a Gamecube game? I think Nintendo is mistaking the online small cult who likes the game for actual demand.
Luigi's Mansion 2 sold really, really well, so yes, apparently people wanted another Luigi's Mansion.Did the general public or even hardcore gamers ask for another Luigi's Mansion?
Either that or they truly are just "references"... I mean, if there was a remake of the original Zelda for every time a new Zelda game had a line in it containing "It's a secret to everybody...", I'd have a loooot of remakes.
Aonuma: Majora's Mask is a very special game - it's the real hardcore who like that one. If we were to make a remake of that one then we wouldn't want to let them down. We'd have to put our heart and soul into it. So, you say you’ve heard rumours, but I have to say it would be quite a commitment to do that.

Wait, what?
Wait, what?
Even more references in the game! I think he just doesn't want to disappoint the loyal MM fanbase, knowing how vocal and opinionated they are online. I don't see how there's much room for failure given that it's just a simple remake made even easier by recycling OOT 3D assets, and that game turned out fine.
When you have finished their quest go back into the cave for an extra scene.
Okay so...
Get all 100 Maimais and then talk to Ravio. Then go talk to the Mama Maimai. She'll say it's time to go back to "their dimension" when you leave the cave you'll see a big flash from the cave. Reenter and you'll see a baby maimai that was left to become the next mama Maimai. Talk to her and she'll say "I'm the 72nd maimai you found." 72nd. 72 hours remain. NINTENDO!

Sweet, thanks guys. Just did it but I have to admit I didn't get the 72h reference until you mentioned it. It seems like a very specific easter egg in the feeling that we'll see the mainmai's again n a future game..set in termina. That poor lil maimai just didn't want to get crushed by the moon hehe.
Hmm, I wonder if they'll keep their word on this, he didn't say no for definite, just a might not. The 3ds needs some support for the next few years while they try and support wii u so MM 3DS would be ideal for the situation. But then again, it would be much better on new ninty hardware in a few years time. Of course all the operation moonfall supporters would lose their minds having to wait that long after all this teasing.

Clearly: it will not be MM 3D, but Majora's Mask 2, full sequel for Wii U.
