Ocarina of Time 3DS Release Date; Wii Play Sequel

[Bacon Boy]

"Those of you who have been waiting for a solid release date for Ocarina of Time 3D, wait no longer. Today Nintendo of America revealed the U.S. date in an official press release - and yes, it is in June as they previously suggested. June 19th, to be precise, less than two weeks after E3. I've already marked this one on my calendar - now you know that I'll be officially picking up a 3DS in 68 days. Nintendo also released a pic of the official boxart - really spiffy, featuring a nice-Twilight Princessesque storybook cover design. Notice the ocarina and harp symbols in the corners... Wait, wasn't that same harp shown in the GDC Skyward Sword trailer? Update: Forgot to mention - Master Quest's inclusion is reconfirmed in the press release, so those of you who missed out on GameCube can give it a try on 3DS.

That's not the only exciting announcement from today - the press release also revealed a completely unforeseen release date of June 13 for Wii Play: Motion, a Motion Plus-capable sequel to the popular arcade-style Wii Play which released alongside the Wii back in 2006. Wii Play: Motion will come bundled with a black Wii Remote Plus. Could this be the beginning of the big boost in first-party Motion Plus software that I predicted awhile back? We'll have to wait and see, but in the meantime, I know I loved the original Wii Play, so I'm sure this one will woo me as well. Full press release, with loads of game release dates, after the jump..."

Wii Play was surprisingly fun. It's not much fun playing by yourself, of course, but it's a great game to play with friends. I'm excited to see how they'll use Wii MotionPlus in this sequel.

But I have no friends. . .

True. I don't know, but is it me or Nintendo hasn't released a decent game on the Wii in awhile.

Late April Fools! Right guys? Riiiiight?

Anyways, I'm excited for this 3DS remake. Specifically because I have committed the shameful act of having never played OoT... I was considering buying it on the VC a while ago but this works much better.

Unfortunately i'm with ya on that boat. But i had good excuses!

Since my brother decided to restart our saved file every time we got past the great deku tree, i really didn't get too far.
