You don't know nothing. Spec-wise the 3DS is somewhere between a Gamecube and a Wii, but with more RAM, a lower resolution (so not as much pixel pushing power is needed), and a much, much faster game medium. A Twilight princess port is more than possible, and it will need few modifications.



I don't know nothing? Double negative, bud. And hell no, it's not. I've had this argument before. No. It's not even close to as powerful as a Wii.

i feel really conflicted on the matter

like on one hand I'd LOVE to see a remake but on the other I can't help feeling bitter over the fact that they'd just be milking money out of the exact same concept when they could spend the resources developing a new game altogether instead?

basically if I had to pick between TP remake and a new game, I'd pick new game

but if I had to pick between both and just a new game, I'd pick both

Yup. You know nothing about hardware and coding. ZERO. But i will not try to educate you here. You are obviously a kid that buys whatever Nintendo PR releases.

Lol. No. Nintendo is already making much, much more money than they currently deserve, based on their output and investment.

It's no secret that Nintendo has taken some big losses, which is why I can't really understand your opinion that they make more than they deserve. I think remakes/ports are the cheapest, and possibly the best way to make some cash, but that right there is just my opinion.

I wonder when people will realise what a developer studio is. Even if there is a new port, it would most likely be created by a different studio than Nintendo itself, just like OOT3D and MM3D. So yea, even if there are new ports coming, it won't be instead of 'new' zelda games

Yes please! Though I would prefer a Wii U HD remake.
A Zelda HD Collection with all home console Zelda games in one disc and likewise for Mario 3D games would be a dream come true for Nintendo fans, but that's just too much to ask. Plus, with SD they don't need to spend as much time on the details as it would be in HD.

Actually, that is old news. Recently Nintendo went into profits again IIRC. But the thing is, we don't know the full reason Nintendo showed temporal losses. They may have spent the money to create those new 3dses they are gonna sell now(and profit from), or make new software etc. You have to see generational profits to get the full picture. Those 18billion in the bank weren't made from charities you know...

The reality is, that Nintendo hardware AND software are far more expensive that are worth. Hardware is really easy to understand, especially if you work in the technology field. And software, while it is more tricky, you can just compare games and prices.

For example, why can i buy Skyrim Legendary Edition (with all expansions attached) for less than a Mario Kart 7 or Pokemon XY game for a handheld? The rom and the cartridge are really cheap. Let's say compared to the dvds they cost +5$. All other costs, VAT, shipping, retail etc, are the same. Then play the games side by side, and try to be objective: Which game cost more to make?

Exactly. Nintendo pockets the difference... That is where the 18b in the bank came from.... From not providing their fans enough value for their games cost...

April's Fool has come early this year ?
I'm confused :wacko:

BTW, i couldn't play it good when it was on Wii, so much obscure that i couldn't see anything, even with the brightest sets of the console/TV, let's just see how it comes, if it comes...

Informative post, thanks for this. I don't agree with your last line because it sounds opinion based, but you sound like you know what you're talking about. Just try to be a little less hostile toward the other members in the future, like you did for me.

You know, because my major isn't relevant in any way /s. Stop thinking you know things. I hate it twhen people think they know about something when they don't. Chill.

If you have a major in a relevant field, and you still believe a Twilight princess port is not possible on an original 3DS console, then you need to find farm work or something else you are more suitable to.

Hint: A console to handheld port is not just a recompile you know. They can make modifications to lower the requirements of the port while still presenting relatively the same visual experience on the handheld. For example, the port would need a lower resolution anyway, so that cuts the gpu requirement right there. You can lower a little the number of triangles, the size of textures, the view distance etc, since those don't matter much on a 3,5in screen anyway... Also, they can use the vastly better read times of cardridges, more ram, and more advanced gpu architecture, to cover for some other disadvantages. Do you understand now?

Show me how we can be having Wii ports on the original 3DS console already, and games like Monster Hunter 4U, and a GAMECUBE PORT LIKE TWILIGHT PRINCESS (Which is really a gamecube game=weaker than a 3DS) is definitely not possible on an original 3DS console...

Kid, i don't really believe you work in this field. Learn to respect those who do and learn from them a thing or two...
