Majora's Mask 3D Remake - Official Thread

[lazuli]

let us all be thankful for the fact that US gets SM4SH:WiiU before JP ok

for players of OoT3D:

since MM and OoT are similar in terms of gameplay (i guess), how was OoT3D? how much better was it than the original visually? musically? I NEED TO KNOW.

I'm not as excited for this as I am for, say, Dragon Age Inquisition or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

Maybe because I haven't played more than 10 minutes of Majora's Mask? -shrug-

When I got OOT 3D, I have never played the original, so it was like a new game to me. But since I've played MM almost all the way through already, I'm really excited to play this game on the go with new updated 3DS graphics! =)

I have the 3DS and N64 versions, and I will say visually it was much much better imo. I don't use the 3D function so I can't say about that one way or the other, but just in general the graphics were a lot smoother, I was impressed. The music was the same, I believe (but I've only played through the N64 version a handful of times and my memory is crap so don't hold me to this, aha). Unless you mean the sound quality, in which case I have no clue. I'd say it was improved, but hard to tell as I'm not that observant. c;

honestly if you have even the slightest intention to play MM3D you should go ahead and grab OoT3D as well

and if you haven't played OoT you should play that before MM


narrative and stuff are for the most part separate, but playing OoT first just makes MM far more enjoyable

Yeah, the remake's improvements are mostly just graphical, or made for convenience. (Extra slots to equip items, a hint system, I think they added a glowing door to the water temple to make it more noticeable or something?) But still worth a purchase, as it's gorgeous, the 3D isn't bad, and it's portable.

I assume MM:3D will be the same.


I was actually about to play MM on my Wii, since I did OoT:3D 100% a few weeks ago. I'm definitely willing to wait until Spring. It's worth it.

Water Temple was massively redone with glowing doors so you can say "now go through the yellow tunnel" etc


Here's some comparisons of OoT and OoT3D

I would have never noticed most of these things if you didn't point them out. D:

At least now I sorta get why everyone's all "rah rah rah, they made OoT 3D too bright and colorful."

 

[LambdaDelta]

honestly, I only have a problem with the first image

3D looks too filtered imo

 

[Dustmop]

The new happy mask shop looks too happy, now that there's a side-by-side comparison.

But in-game I didn't look at it long enough to notice, much less care. Lol.

 

[Ponyu]

Ha! Nice comparison pics Personally, I appreciate bright colors (I preferred the look of Skyward Sword over the one of Twilight Princess), so I'm extra excited for MM 3D's improved looks. Did people actually complain about Oot 3D's bright colors? :O

Nobody appreciates the irony of a place calling itself a Happy Mask Shop just being this drab old building anymore.

I'm kind of expecting this end up graphically a little darker than OoT, to fit the game.

Clock Town starts out all bright and happy and just grows progressively more darker as time passes

Pre-ordered MM3D Special Edition today!

It's come up A LOT on two of the other forums I frequent that OoT 3D was suddenly, "too bright for its atmosphere."

I didn't realize OoT was meant to be a darker Zelda like MM and TP. :v
Maybe Market Town (as adult Link), The Well, and the Shadow Temple later on in the game.. but I found them to be dark enough to fit their given atmospheres. Nothing ever felt "out of place."

Too true.
Nor the fact that the owner has an evil mask and a psychotic break in the sequel.
