OoT remake for 3DS

there's no way OoT is going to be a launch title or near launch game. it wasn't even shown at E3.
i'm betting it will be the big holiday 2011 title along Mario Kart 3DS.
also, OoT being a full remake was already confirmed so RBA is already dead.

it was shown at e3, just not a playable version, which i think 1 or 2 games were playable (star fox, and the steel diver thing (who wants that?)

no it wasn't. it was actually leaked from a set of images nintendo prepared but didn't show at the event. people were even asking why it wasn't shown in the proper show.

well, i know it was announced at nintendo's media (de)briefing after the show, i cant find a quote/source since im at school and 99.9% of the internet is blocked (i'm lucky i am likely the only person in my small town that knows of this site besides my friends), but miyamoto had the nintengirls with 3ds's strapped to them walk around to the press and some/all of them had oots opening looping. then miyamoto said something about how the water temple was too hard because of constantly switching the iron boots and they were gonna make it easier.

the leak happened a few hours before the briefing i believe (nintendo mistakenly put a kit on their site for a few hours before taking it down, dont know if it is back up). the pictures are now on reputable sites like ign.

when i get home i will post a source.

This is one of the more interesting screenshots.

Notice the Fairy Ocarina on the bottom left of the touch screen.

As a side note, 3DS will have Virtual Console focusing on the Gameboy games. Super Mario Land & Link's Awakening have been confirmed. Unlike the Wii the 3DS (atm) does not have any way of direct recording (unless you somehow got yourself a 3DS Dev kit).

Where did you find that picture and information?

a slew of information got announced in japan yesterday for 3ds. 300$ in japan (ouch...), comes out feburary for jap, and oot is coming next year (although im not clear on if its a launch title or not) high res screens without clutter on the top screen, woot (although it does make dot skip compeletely luck based if it is even still in which is defienately not.)

It looks to me like you can have 4 items equipped now, 2 to X and Y and then 2 to the 1 and 2 slots.

I'm really hoping they don't make it so you have to blow into the Mic to play the ocarina like in Spirit Tracks. I hated having to do that and sometimes my mic wouldn't recognize it properly.

they will defienately have a different mechanic for ocarina since it would work the old way anymore.

lets hope its good. =)

3DS software gameplay lineup (including OoT footage near the end): http://www.gametrailers.com/video/nc-10-nintendo-3ds/705394

Looks like they upped the framerate to at least 30/s

geometry/actor placement looks the same in that vid

engine its hard to say with the new graphics but still looks quite similar so far

hopefullly they update the maps somehow. they look pulled straight from oot. also by maps i dont mean the level geometry (although that does too) i meant the blue map in the lower left hand corner of the screen.

they should make a hovering map to the triforce

hm it doesn't look like it was completely remade (i got owned)

what i really hope they do is bump the game up to 60 fps. i was expecting the GC version to run like that with everything else loooking intact but was so disappointed with the crummy 20fps. now they have the power for that and it looks like they're not focusing on raw good looks like other 3DS games.

Comparison video.  I'm now 99% sure this is the exact same engine and that nearly all glitches and SB's will be left in (RBA looks unlikely though due to lack of C right).

it really moves similarly. i guess the budget wasn't big enough for a full remake.
it is actually better this way since i like the way OoT/MM feel compared to TWW or TP.

Corfirmed as a launch game in japan (feb 26th) http://mynintendonews.com/2010/10/02/nintendo-3ds-nintendo-confirms-nintendo-3ds-launch-titles/

So who's gonna import this so we can start our research right away?

actually, 3ds comes out here (by here i mean us) in march, so maybe it will be like early march, and not late march.

we can hope. what we really need to see is a bomb explosion, it will mean sooooooooooooooooo much more to us than it will to 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 % of the world

Wow.

Obviously they will fix certain things but it looks identical so far.

Not rich enough to buy an imported 3DS yet :(
EDIT: a good place to buy imports would be http://www.play-asia.com/
They haven't came up with a price though.

O_o it feels just like they didn't change anything. Even graphics aren't that better.

The submap in the corner of the screen is now on the left side. But why did they left it since they add the map on the touch screen? This make think they didn't change anything to the engine.

remember this game is still 5 months from release. they are probably still working on how the HUD will work, and improving the graphics. so while it is the same engine, whatever you see now is liable to change (besides the content, unless they go MQ style)

I'm going to be honest here: I despise the tentative Link model. I just want to punch his little face.

MQ would make a nice 2nd quest for this version. more Zelda games should have a 2nd quest.

importing will be very troublesome since the 3DS is rumored to be region locked so whoever imports it will have to import all his games or buy another 3DS.
a mere month isn't that much to wait for the game anyway (unless the game isn't a launch game here).

Maze looks disproportionate.

[03:27:09] <Siglemic> omg cosmo
[03:27:15] <Siglemic> this looks legitmate !!!!
[03:27:24] <@cosmo> yeaah
[03:27:48] <Siglemic> mother of fuck dude
[03:27:56] <Siglemic> my life is complete once i have this game
[03:28:47] <Siglemic> i think it's the same engine
[03:29:01] <Siglemic> it like, takes him the exact same amount of time to clilmb out of water and shit
[03:29:06] <Siglemic> and the rolls look really similar
[03:29:43] <@cosmo> u crawl really fuckin fast
[03:29:50] <Siglemic> really
[03:29:57] <Siglemic> maybe they just changed that cause it was dumb in oot
[03:35:25] <@cosmo> lol
[03:35:30] <@cosmo> interesting stuff
[03:35:40] <@cosmo> 20 slots on inv screen
[03:35:43] <@cosmo> instead of 24
[03:35:58] <@cosmo> no boots in the equip menu I'm assuming this is so you can change really fast using some other method
[03:36:06] <@cosmo> i see the LSE slots below the equipment but theres more slots to the side of that
[03:36:11] <@cosmo> no idea whats going on there
[03:37:04] <Siglemic> i hope they add like, any new content
[03:37:51] <@cosmo> rofl i think actor glitch is fixed
[03:38:00] <@cosmo> look how fast the camera resets after link leaves the tunnel
[03:38:31] <@cosmo> its during links standup animation

I still hope they'll add something in the game. We already know everything in oot, and anybody can play Hi-res textures on emulators...

Wow amazing vid right there, I'm sure It won't last long before being removed. And yeh actor glitch def. seems fixed, it looks like they just did it so it jumps a few frames lol. Kinda have my hopes down now, I think most glitches will be fixed while some new ones will be discovered.

The main thing I noticed in the vid Uberzelda64 and Cosmo posted is that the camera fixes itself REALLY quickly after crawling out of a crawlspace. Bye-bye BotW chus without ZL.

If they fixed the actor glitch (which isn't a very well known bug), then don't get your hopes up for isg, superslides, DoT skip, vine clip, RBA etc.
