Didn't they say that, if an MM update was to be released, it wouldn't happen until after an original 3DS title came out?

 

I'm still waiting for mine to turn up. I can't wait for it to show up so I've been playing this to pass the time while I work on artworks:

I know!! It must hurrrrrry!!!

Currently listening to NWR's Radio Free Nintendo's retroactive discussion on Majora's Mask. I hope we'll get a remake of that down the track for the 3DS to accompany OoT 3D... but more importantly, I want the Oracle of Ages/Seasons games on the VC as I never got a chance to play them.

 

Agreed, it be great to have access to ALL of the official titles in the series. I wonder if Nintendo will bring them out on the Wii U VC since they had announced GBA games will be coming and Minish Cap is a no brainer for that service.

 

Pfft. I'll be playing those one day on the actual handhelds, thank you very much.

Seriously, though- if the GBA inclusion is based on the GBA Player for GCN, then I believe GBC titles should be feasible.

I've given up on trying to find a collector's edition of HH (seems all pre orders are sold out but I never saw one available to begin with). However, I don't get paid till friday so i'll probably have to wait a bit before I order, alas.

 

I don't see that happening until the next handheld comes out- they don't want to canabalize DS backwards compatibility sales.

DS VC on 3DS I could see, though.

 

That said, Nintendo DID release the GBA player back in the day when GBA was still a new/active platform... Maybe some kind of 3DS Player add-on for Wii U would be feasible, using a TV and Gamepad combo...

 

That could be possible... some games for the Wii U (Assassin's Creed III comes to mind) are able to be played in 3D if you have the right tools...

 

IIRC, the Oracles were linked via a PW system, so that's be pretty simple to carry over.

 

I can't remember where I have heard it but wasn't the Oracle games meant to be as a whole but because there wasn't enough room on the cartridge, they had to split it into two games? If that is the case... I wonder if they would combine it as one in a future re/release

EDIT: I haven't got my Hyrule Historia yet, I know it's on the way though and am hoping it be on my front door either this arvo or tomorrow.

 

No, what happened was the Oracle games were originally the Triforce Trilogy: remakes of Zelda 1 (The Mystical Seed of Wisdom) and Zelda 2 (The Mystical Seed of Courage, which would have been themed around changes in color), along with a 3rd, original game (The Mystical Seed of Power). And all three were going to be linked by a PW system.

However, the 3-game PW system ended up being too complicated to implement, so they cancelled the Zelda 2 remake, the Zelda 1 remake became Oracle of Seasons (thus why all the dungeon bosses are the same Z1 bosses) and the original game became Oracle of Ages.

(I might have the Seeds of Power & Wisdom titles reversed, I'm uncertain which is which)

 

Given the pose, I almost feel you need to underlay some Fairy Fountain music and a Great Fairy laugh or two.

I think LA was supposed to be a port (unless that's splitting hairs?)- probably why they had the same character art and box art logo designs, but that was more recently revealed (probably from HH's japanese release, I'd imagine).

 

Great Fairy Fountain music would be appropriate.

I went to the Symphony of the Goddesses last night and it was beautiful and brilliant! They must have rehearsed the Song of Storms before hand as we were hit with a storm but thankfully it eased up before the performance started and I didn't get wet. They even made a joke about that too and quite a few people laughed when that tune popped up. The only thing that felt missing was music relating to Skyward Sword but that did get a brief reference during the Overture. I got to hear the Ballad of the Wind Fish in it's splendour and Majora's Mask fans weren't forgotten either. Had a wonderful night, I wish it was longer. During the interval, I picked up a T-Shirt and poster. The poster is of the Hylian symbol with the Triforce in a stormy sky...

Courtesy of the Google search engine... here's what they looks like (this image doesn't do the poster justice, much more impressive in person):



All I need is for my Hyrule Historia to arrive and I'll be set. It has been shipped, I've got the email, probably because they have to import it is why it's been late getting to me.

 

I can't remember if this has been posted but Theophany had released 'Disc 1' of "Time's End", a tribute to Majora's Mask.

From what I've heard so far, it's really well done. I've lost track of how many times I've had the 'Clocktown' track on repeat but I should continue on to give the other tracks a go.
