Exclusive New Nintendo 3DS Features Teased For The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D

I just want to play the game that's all.

A reason right away to get the New 3DS for me besides the better internet functionality

Probably use the c stick like a proper camera?

I clicked on this hoping for the announcement of a master quest type mode for this game but I guess if they do that at all it will be reserved for a later date!

I'm not sure yet when I'll be gettin the New Nintendo 3DS yet, but I'll most likely be playing this game before I buy one. It's not a big deal since I'm sure the game will be fantastic regardless of which 3DS you own.

meh still on the fence, so I will see about getting a new 3ds.

Which means the New 3DS must be arriving in the west in Spring 2015 also. I'm still betting on a March release.

If they say that they added camera controls with the extra stick I will be fine as long as they have the ability to use the Circle pad pro to use this ability as well.

If it's not that then aslong as it doesn't affect gameplay then I am ok. I would hate if they didn't add the option to use the CPP to use the camera if the New 3ds can.

Probably just uses extra buttons and runs smoother.

I heard about this like 2 or 3 days ago

Importing!

I've said on many forums when talking about both Ocarina and Majora's Mask 3D that Ocarina's touch screen interface and controls were horrible and I hope they'd improve on them for Majora's Mask, citing A Link Between Worlds as an example. I'm soooo pleased Aonuma's team have taken the initiative in that area, it'll already be an improvement on Ocarina 3D. Super exciting news.

I think it will be the 2nd control stick will be used to equip items.

@TeeJay congratulations

Game will run at 30fps on OG 3DS and at 60fps on n3DS.

Betting that you connect Amiibo to gain access to Nintendo masks that do nothing much.

Glad that he's giving little bits and bobs about the game, but I hope that we get some new footage of the game soon!

60FPS 3D is all I want.

Kamaro's mask is slightly less mortifying on New 3DS.

I'm planning on getting a New 3DS eventually, anyways. Besides, it's probably similar to Smash Bros., where it only enables Miiverse, Internet Browser, and the Theme Shop.

I'm surprised nobody said stability so..........stability!

I want to wear Majora's Mask and the boss masks!

Maybe the new 3ds will allow you to use the second control stick for camera controls and the additional shoulder buttons for item controls.

I imagine it won't be anything too drastic; c-stick for camera, and perhaps they will optimise the game to work with the faster processor, so that we might be able to run the game at 60Hz?

Nintendo should be marketing the New 3DS power kind of like the N64 expansion pak(albeit a more expensive version), where it adds new features, visuals, faster fps, but doesn't outright exclude older 3DS owners. The majority of these games should be compatible with both, teasing players that they can have more with more horsepower, drawing them in to buy the new console eventually. Only the rare few New 3DS game should be released that take advantage of the New 3DS, and only once the install base has grown a bit.

@Angelic_Lapras_King I would say that is probably one of the things, or at least it should.

Depending on what it is I may have to get a new 3DS, hopefully there will be a bundle with MM 3D

I plan on getting the new 3DS, I just hope that there is some sort of bundle release. A Majora's Mask New 3DS bundle would be great.

conservative prediction here

Does everyone forget that the New 3DS supports Amiibos?

Brainstorming here, but of course the extra buttons will be used (quick equip, camera controls, maybe a screenshot function?), the extra horse power may deliver a better framerate, and all-around new features could include a Hero-mode, photo-masks, gyro aiming as in OoT3D... Amiibo's may, as stated before, give special masks as well.

This could be the launch game for New 3DS in the west.. let's hope it is.

Let's hope I can actually write in bombers notebook with the stylus

The 3DS version will give you Cremia's Portable Warm Hugs for saving her a second time. The best feature of all time, hands down.

Well, at least they should let us aim with the second analog while walking. This should change the game a lot since it's a 3rd person game that relies way too much on Z targeting.

In Aonuma we trust. I hope they sell MM3D + N3DS bundles, it'll sell like hot cakes

@Drac_Mazoku
Why announce it? It's not going to be out until 2015 and Nintendo doesn't want people clamming up their wallets on the current 3DS/2DS models that are poised to fly off shelves during the Holidays. Can you imagine Reggie's long face when he was first told there was going to be a NEW 3DS by the Holiday season but not in his territory. It's like a double slam: Nothing to new sell, and a reason to wait. No reason to advertise that.

If there's a special edition New XL for this, Xenoblade, or Monster Hunter, I will change my mind about getting the regular N3DS.

I thought graphically OOT3D was amazing, and is still the best looking 3DS game to me. The controls were also great, and I actually liked the gyro controls in it. I like having the option to use gyro controls and regular controls (same goes with waggle and every other gimick), but I found myself opting for the gyro aiming more than not.

Honestly I don't care about features for this on the New 3DS. If they make a limited edition MM 3DS I will buy it in a heartbeat, especially if bundled with the game.

I am stoked to have this game on 3DS like Ocarina of Time. Very very stoked.

I will buy this as long as Gyro aiming remains.

This is pretty amazing. I remember people thinking that a Wii HD might do it. Basically like a PC new 3DS will run the games better but they will also run in the previous "gen". Pretty ingenious to bring that to consoles.

Would be cool to bring back the original plan for the game when it was going to be on the 64DD like a 7 day night cycle and more dungeons but of course they want it to stay consistent to the original. They also could add Amiibo support for both versions, it may sound unnecessary however Nintendo is doing it for Captain Toad Treasure Tracker,Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, and Yoshi's Wholly World

I can't imagine the new features being that great that I'll upgrade my 3DSXL for it.

It's unfortunate that the graphics won't be better. That's what annoys me with Nintendo's "half-gen" upgrades like the DSi and "New" 3DS (XL). They cost enough to warrant significant hardware improvements, but only provide minimal ones. Then new software often doesn't even take very good advantage of these hardware improvements.

@SilentHunter382
This. SSB had an excuse, MM doesn't.

I'm planning on upgrading anyway, so yay! Another added bonus! Looks like a fantastic remake.

Please don't let the New 3ds to have a huge advantage over the regular

Re-mapping the control scheme to fit a completely different controller/console is not adding new features. If this is what Eiji means by new features I despair.

I have to admit that after having watched a direct comparison video between the original N64 version and the 3DS version there's been more visual improvements made than I first thought. Hopefully the final game has even more improvements beyond just the visuals and ultimately delivers on everyone's expectations.

My guess is the little nub stick will have some function. Can't wait been begging for years they bring this out. Fun times in an excellent hobby. Thanks for staying with us Nintendo! We love ya! I'm feeling real nostalgic today after watching Videogames the Movie on Hulu. It tells the ups and downs video gaming has had since it was started. Good watch if you get a chance. I was bummed no mention of the TurboGrafx my favorite 16 bit system of the time. Still fun check it out.

Special edition new 3DS with majoras mask design - now that would be hard to turn down.

sigh i just it isnt something too crazy of a change that the older 3ds owners have to suffer over not having the new handheld -.- if its amiboo then im all good dont rly care about that

I have almost got a feeling that it may run in 60fps, they mentioned in an Iwata asks interview on ALBW that they wanted to implement a drag and drop inventory screen in OoT3D, but they couldn't run it smoothly due to the lower frame rate (30fps it think?). We all have our hopes.

I doubt the CPP is getting any more support.

Amiibo masks. I'm calling it right now.

Mii mask. Called it.
