Video: Nintendo Digs Out an Old Favourite for Halloween New 3DS Commercial

I recently started playing Majora's Mask 3D...I'm LOVING it!!!

"Already"? It's the 21st. Most businesses have been advertising Halloween since mid-September (which I hate btw) but the fact remains that Nintendo is jumping into this really, really late.

Why didn't they mention Luigis Mansion? Those who own any 3ds and DON'T play/own Majoras' Mask are missing out on one truly classic and amazing experience,Replay value? Tremendous, this coming from a NON Zelda fan... Best game since Fire Emblem Awakening and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Now if we can only get Advance Wars 3D... but I suspect it will never happen for the 3ds.

So creppy.

I guess a weird article/place to ask this exclusively but anyone in the west here looking forward to Yo Kai Watch? I am a fan of Pokemon (mostly the first generation of 150 and Alpha Sapphire having grown up with those) and this looks like that type of game. Thing is I don't know much about it. It makes me think of it Pokemon / Ni No Kuni / Shin Megami Tensei which I think is actually really cool. Is it going to be something that blows up with the show too?
I'll be looking into getting it if I ever get the time to look more into it.

You would think they might advertise the new horror game they have coming out soon. <_<

I would be shocked it they don't have a video of some spooky themed SMM levels though.

Ugh, why did Majora's Mask have to be so good? It's making me enjoy ALBW less

@SyFyTy
I am surprised they didn'f mention a few games on 3DS. Luigi's Mansion which you mentioned that doesn't get near enough love as it deserves.

MH3U and MH4U You take on monsters and make weapons and armour out of their remains.

Resident Evil Revelations and Mercenaries. Zombi U, the classic VC games like Castlevania and there are a few horror games on the eshop.

I am guessing the eshop is going to look like that tomorrow after the update anyway.

Kind of random to bring up Majora's Mask in that way at this point. Sure, it makes sense for Halloween, but the message about forgetting and the whole presentation of it make me wonder whether there's something else to it, or a marketing employee just wasn't very sure what to put together.

Just some wild speculation I don't even believe in myself, but a new Zelda related to Majora's Mask would be amazing.

@TerrapinJess
I, for one, am most certainly looking forward to ot, as are my children. Imported from Japan when it first came out and have loved it since. Kids liked watching me play it and have been pretty hyped since its Western announcement. They're into the anime (as am I) and can't wait to get the toys as well. I have all the games and can't wait for Youkai Watch 3 when it releases next year in Japan. Really hoping Yo-kai Watch succeeds in the West as Level-5 says the sequels' localization hinges heavily on how the first game is received, so I've been shouting to all my old gamer buddies from college to get it (most have agreed since they're Level-5 fans anyway). Really want the sequels because they improve drastically on the first game (far more content and nearly 100+ new Youkai to befriend, even ones you can't catch in the first game)

@TerrapinJess Me, me, me! Yokai Watch looks to be cool for one reason: Level 5. Those guys know how to make a game! I'm still in love with Ni No Kuni, Dragon Quest IX, and Friday Monsters. Level 5 can do no wrong!

That video of yokai got me more puzzled than before. However Jibanyan is very cute and when i was in Japan in August he was EVERYWHERE. And I mean everywhere. Lol i may end uo getting this at one point. However i feel like i like Jibanyan more than the actual series itsself? Haha

I feel bad now, I have yet to beat this since I picked it up at launch. Instead I'm playing between 2 worlds again right now...

@TerrapinJess I am looking forward to it! I love that it's Level 5, it just looks a bit different too which is what's intriguing about. I am a Pokemon fan, the first two generations of games were my favourite I've just started back on Omega Ruby but for some reason I just can't get into it..

darn it.
i wanted them to remake the "we are nintendo, you can't beat us" comercial.

Man, the Majoras Mask Remake was really fantastic. I loved it!

@Thulfram Don't forget the brilliant Professor Layton games - even if the 3DS ones lost some of the Level 5 charm.

@rishisquid Actually, I think ALBW is just not even comparable in quality I'm not a fan of Zelda games, never been really, and I absolutely hated Ocarina of Time. ALBW was decent, maybe a 6/10 or something, but not really "good". Majora's Mask? That poopitypoopoop was awesome.

I think too many people have rose-tinted glasses on regarding the Zelda series as a whole.

Most of the games just weren't as great as people think they were/remember them to be, and this is actually pretty saddening, since it doesn't let the actual masterpieces stand out. The two most memorable (and amazing to boot) Zelda games for me has been Majora's Mask and The Minish Cap. I find it funny how nobody ever talks about the latter though. I still play it at least three times a year because it is so good. Done Majora's Mask twice so far. Most other Zelda games once (due to countless recommendations, most of which ended with me reselling the game coz blah. Bias.)

While I know many people think the Zelda series is godlike and untouchable, and to some extent Nintendolife included (With the exception of the newest game, Tri-force Heroes or whatever, I've found many of the reviews to be biased like crazy.), only a handful of the games really do that "title" justice.

@Blizzia Wow, you sir feel the same way I do. I'm still trying to find the magic in ALBW, and I keep wondering why it tops every single "Best 3ds Games" list. The dungeons are pretty good, but I think the overworld is terrible. I tolally agree with you with Minish Cap, that game was frickin' great.

@rishisquid Haha yeah, I don't know where we went wrong as far as the magic in ALBW goes xD The overworld basically ruins the experience completely. I agree on the dungeons, quality design as always, but man, the overworld was such a turn off. Minish Cap was so damn awesome. I can't believe it hasn't gotten a remake xD Sadly it isn't a fan favorite in general, so we'll probably never see a remake, but oh well, the original game is still great

It is indeed time to get ready for Halloween: I'll have to work on a Clockwork Orange parody for my Italian sort-of webcomic on my Facebook page.

It'd be neat if one day Nintendo used their old slogans again. Imagine the nostalgia factor they'd get if they said "Now you are playing with power" again.
