Topic: Majora's Mask Remake: WiiU or 3DS?

From what I've seen so far, Wind Waker has fewer additions than OoT3D. So why would a 3DS version be lazier?

I don't think Grezzo can convey the feeling and the style that the game could have if the Zelda team remade it themselves.

Definitely 3DS.

What do you think of OoT 3D, then? It was basically identical to the original N64 version, besides the addition of gyro, some touch screen controls, better graphics, and updated sound files.
All they need to see is the original build on a computer and recreate everything. If they can do the same kind of job they did with OoT 3D, I don't see what the problem would be.
They could have probably made OoT 3D better graphically than they did, but it was still early in the 3DS life cycle, so they were figuring out how to use the 3DS hardware, and they most likely wanted to stay pretty true to the original.

With the new hardware they have, they can create Majora's Mask the way they intended it to be, don't you understand?

I would buy this game on day one..... on 3DS.

@The_Joker
The original N64 version IS the way they wanted it to be. There was nothing holding them back in the original game.
The 3DS is arguably stronger than even the Wii, so there are inherent benefits right off the bat. What do expect from Majora's Mask that isn't already there?
Even WW HD is the same, and that's made by the Zelda team. The original versions of the game are what they intended, unless a timeframe is otherwise noted.

@Gamecubeman couldn't agree more

Why would they allocate resources to remake a game in the first place? To print money, that's why. And since Nintendo supposedly has tons of it, might as well put it to good use.

More people would buy the Majora's Mask remake if it was available on both the Wii U and 3DS. And some people would actually buy both remakes.

Never said it'd be lazier, I said lamer, which I will admit is subjective. I wasn't comparing WWHD with OoT3D anyways, neither of them have started a trend at this point so MM wouldn't necessarily be doing what they did. With the 3DS's capabilities, sure we can upgrade the graphics a tad and add 3D, but the Wii U's power means, even if they don't push the system, the game could look completely different. In fact, it could be lazier and I still like the idea more because if they rebuilt it in HD for the Wii U, it still wouldn't take the same resources as a new title (heck, they could let another dev handle it) but it could look incredibly better, leaping three generations in graphics. No more blocky shapes with fuzzy textures. The Wind Waker was a poor choice to bring into HD anyways, the graphic style doesn't benefit much from the extra detail, it hasn't aged like N64 graphics.

I just realized another reason why it won't come to Wii U, thanks to ShadVJ...
They would never let a remake leap 3 generations in graphics without extra gameplay, because the game would be stripped of any possible gameplay options which would result in something new altogether. Wind Waker isn't really even jumping 2 generations in graphics, even though it technically is. It looks better for sure, but none of the extra power brought to the Wii U is changing the game from what it was, sans graphics pretty much.
If they were to completely remake the game in an overhaul fashion, they might as well make a new one along side the Zelda U game.
Why can't people just be happy with the enhancements made by the 3DS? They could probably make it look slightly better than a GCN game if they did decide to just absolutely push the 3DS to it's limit visually with a Majora's Mask remake.

I would prefer a HD remake, it would look so amazing. But I know IF they end up doing it, they will make it in 3D, which is fine (portability would be cool) but I don't think they pushed the graphics too much with OOT3D, so MM3D will only copy the style OOT3D used.

Very true. They will most likely just keep the same visuals regardless of extra graphics power.
It's not like they have anything to prove with the 3DS, anyway. We all know that the 3DS can pretty much put out GCN graphics in 3D.

EDIT: Actually, I wouldn't doubt the 3DS could handle an early Xbox 360 game. In SD, obviously.
I think the 3DS is the Xbox 360 equivalent, and PS Vita is the PS3 equivalent. It would make sense based on what we've seen this far.

This exactly. If they just do a remaster instead of a remake they should not even bother. They had an island system in Wind Waker but could not add a single island? LAZY. They better at least add masks in Majora's Mask.

3DS.

1.) those remakes are essentially the same game as their original, so playing a cheaper version of the same game on VC makes more sense to me.

2.) that's a lame question. what if i want to play super smash bros on my 3DS? what about mariokart 64? well i can't. if i want to play them, i'll have to play them on wii vc or on their original console. also, full-on remakes take more time to make and are a lot more expensive to make than simple porting on VC anyway. it makes more financial sense.

Don't make me choose! I want both!. Wii U would probably be better out of the two though, but mainly because I don't like the stick on the 3DS.

You're forgetting that it costs more money and resources to make two separate remakes, especially from the ground up. Of course more people would buy them, but enough to make it worth it?
