3DS News Thread

Like Fronk brought up on Skype the team who did OoT3D Grezzo, have had to be doing something.

Reason I don't see another proper Zelda maybe a spin-off type like Four Swords maybe, is because pretty much all Nintendo systems have had about two zelda's and that's it.

If they are following the same trend then we have already had the two Zelda games on 3ds.

There's a few instances that's it not been the case but the avg is two. And when it's not its been ports / remakes.

I just don't see why they'd shoot themselves in the foot by overloading consumers with Zelda games, we already have Hyrule warriors & another spin off or remake would be too much in my opinion.

If its like 2 or 3 years off then I wouldn't mind it.

Wasn't there a interview not long ago where they said they want to make zelda more annual like they almost do with Mario.

No idea, I wouldn't say Mario is annual either even if he is used in sports titles etc & I'm not sure how they could fit characters from the Zelda universe into other IP's in the same way.

And the Zelda universe doesn't really have that many characters, more races and species. At best, there's names that get passed down but often aren't the same character, at least not to the scale of Link, Zelda and Ganon(dorf).

Vaati's the one other I can think of.

I meant like we had 3D Land then New U, then 3D World almost all right after each other. Doesn't seem to be one this year unless you count kart.

But looking at zelda 2013 had WWHD, ALBW and the oracle game's got released on to the VC being the first time you could play them since there original release, 2014 it's going to be hyrule warriors then 2015 Zelda U.

And still think fronk is right about MM3D which if it's coming got be sometime in 2015.

I think Nintendo's biggest issue is them always timing 3DS/Wii U games of the same series so close to each other: at least with Yoshi's Woolly World being 2015 everyone would have forgotten about Yoshi's New Island by the time it's out.

As for Zelda, I'm a bit wary about a second 3DS game (that's not Majora's Mask 3D) after the incredibly unambitious Spirit Tracks followed Phantom Hourglass on DS.

Aye spot on.

We did but Nintendo were pretty much in panic mode then which is why we had 3 so close together.

If you read my post Jas you see, I brought up a few instance of zeldas in the past few years .

Not counting VC but counting remakes
2010 0 Zelda's
2011 3 Zelda's
2012 0 Zelda's
2013 2 Zelda's
2014 1 Zelda Universe
2015 1 Zelda which should be U unless delayed, still think we will see MM3D as well

That seems rather annual to me, 7 games based in the universe in 6 years.

I did read your.......................      

So it seems that Dragon Quest X is on it's way to the 3DS in a couple of months

See

...in Japan.  I'm not a great fan of subscription-based games anyway, though - I want to buy my game and own its contents forever.

I'm thinking about giving it a go for the 60 days that come with it and see how I go since it's only 3,8000 Yen

I'm a big fan of Dragon Quests and although MMO's are foreign to me, I would take a look at X. In the meantime, let's get VII translated!

Would love to see VII reach these shores, though I really need to play V first.

It's a shame VIII was never ported to 3DS, its vistas would look stunning in 3D. And the iOS port, while decent, was a quick job: the team ported the game to the Unity engine which meant losing some of the graphical bells and whistles. Shame.

3DS Direct tomorrow at midday.  Revolves around third-party games.  Are there any?  We should see more of Bravely Second (it's Japan-based, so no Fantasy Life): that aside, I don't know what we're looking at here.

Well, Japan recently received a Megaman streetpass puzzle......

I was wondering what the new Puzzle was..

An international release for Yokai Watch is "in consideration in a big way".



In other news, the Direct seems to have been a handful of not-terribly-interesting JRPGs.

Direct seemed good to me , there's a Tales game in there for a start.

I'm sure its nothing..

You decide

I don't caaaaaaare. MM is one of my less favourite 3D Zeldas, down there with SS. I'll probably play it through again, but my goodness the three-day system was anoying.
