Zelda 3DS

KalEl88

Anyone getting this? I'm tempted at the moment. Anyone know of any good deals on a 3DS around?

Better luck in the Nintendo forum!

Oh look, anather zelda game... Oh wait it's just anather rerereremake.



Sorry, I could not ressist . Atleast something half decent out on 3ds.

Kiith

It's a rerereremake of one of the best games in history though. If i had a 3ds, i'd pick it up.

super_furry

Yep, it's the first thing that makes a 3DS worth owning. Being able to play the best version of the best game ever released while sitting on the toilet has to count for something.

Never played ocarina of time , would love to if i ever decide to get the 3ds

There's a really awful review of this in The Ticket today. I may have interpreted it incorrectly, but the reviewer seemed to be suggesting it was an entirely new game, which is an astounding mistake for a game critic to make. Got three stars because it takes 'too long to get going'.

Hahahahahahahaha

/gasp

hahahahahahahaha

I really hope for hilarity's sake that's true.

Got my preorder in HMV. Going to pick it up after work along with Child of Eden (and my free tshirt!!)

You're in luck: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/theticket/2011/0617/1224299036537.html

No mention to it being a remake, but the ominous phrase "his latest instalment" and a general vagueness in the review suggests we're dealing with a critic who probably shouldn't be reviewing games. Also the fact that he frequently - in a ten sentence review nonetheless - calls it an RPG.

NTMK

I'm gonna get it when i reduce my back log:(

Do, theres a reason its constantly in top 5 or #1 of the greatest games ever made lists, because it is.

Mr. K

Gonna play this in a couple of hours, I'm way too excited considering the number of times I've played through this game...maybe it's because I'll finally play my 3DS a bit! And Resident Evil: The Mercenaries is out in two weeks, so it's gonna get played to death.

I'm surprised Joe Griffin's review was so poor, his stuff is usually decent.

jaykhunter

ScrewAttack's Stuttering Craig has put up a surely divisive but extremely considered review of OoT on the 3DS.

Just picked it up today in GAME with the 3DS for €239.99. Really happy I did! Awesome game

IMO link to the past is the best one, but each to their own

Did a big trade in and got the 3DS and Zelda today. Eyes are in bits but it's good to be back in Hyrule.

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about the 3D. Its grand when your just walking around and it actually really adds to the game. But when you have to do anything like a battle, it just gets in the way because I keep losing the sweet spot

Grayditch

Damn this is good. Aiming with the screen is somehow better than the pad. There are some textures that look dreadful, yet when in 3D, Link pops our of the screen when he stands next to them, in comparison. I don't mean graphically better, (he obviously is) they just look so flat and he's...not flat. Hard to explain, but it's just an example of how perfect it is, even when it's not perfect

super_furry

It's amazing, absolutely amazing. The first game to convince me that 3D isn't just a flashy gimmick.

That's brilliant to hear man. Are you using the motion controls; how is it working with 3D?

Mr Trade In

Free soundtrack if you register on clubnintendo,only problem is they want a postcode and NO BT11AA does not work in any form.

It would appear that they've run out! Nintendo should have made it downloadable.

There are loads on eBay, but I'd say you'll have to get it with Wind Waker. Which really isn't a bad thing, WW is great (unless you already have it).

Worked for me, that is to say it spat up the usual 'invalid address' error when I used it, and then let me tick the 'turn off address check' box.

Seems they haven't run out....Just a mess up...and extended the US entry as well (which was supposed to be limited)

Would have been easier to just ship the cd's with the actual game to stores :pac:

I'm glad to be proven wrong, got mine ordered now. The last time I got something from Nintendo's website was 2003, when I got the Zelda Collection! Surely the cost of posting them all out must be huge?!
