Gaming Nintendo Direct 3DS 17th April

[yonex204]

Besides all the games that Nintendo are making.. I'm actually looking forward to playing Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale.

well there is one thing that i dont like about this zelda. it looks way too much like harvest moon.

i mean really, look at it. the cut trees look just like HM. (not to mention that for some reason, all hacked trees are only half as big in diameter as the unhacked trees seem to be. if you want the wood, wouldnt you go for the big ones?)

also, i feel like the camera is way too much zoomed into link. i mean, now we've got a large screen, and we still can only see about 6 squares to the left or to the right of link. why am i not seeing more of the surroundings now? on a bigger screen with better resolution?

The screens resolution is still pretty crap, maybe there's adjustable camera views..

Hmmm, I don't know about that Zelda game... I might skip this one.

I think Top-Down Zelda games ought to be an eShop game, rather than a full-fledged title. Additionally, I was hoping for an original Zelda that wouldn't use 3D as a gimmick, rather to add visual depth instead of the literal, 3D kind.

Ah well, at least we still have Ocarina on 3DS and maybe Majora in the future.

SMT: Nocturne (PS2) is SMTIII.

Bravely Default looks pretty cool, oh and Link to the Past 2? Awesome.

Yep, you're right! SMT:SJ is more like SMT 3.5

I believe they said the footage was of a game still in development, I'd like to assume the screen may be zoomed out a BIT more for Zelda

Why should top down automatically get eShop status? It not like they took the old game and made
it a 3d classic. It's a whole new game.

I'm pretty sure it has both depth and 3d.

 

[chavosaur]

It was a 2 min demo of the game, we have yet to even experience the levels of depth and awesomeness of the game.
I still can't fathom how just because its a top down game, it deserves eshop status.
You want it from the eshop, you can buy it. At retail >:3

Here are pics of Zelda LTTP bottom screen in the link.

Edit: Even better.

New Mario & Luigi title: kinda wary, after not being able to stomach most of Bowsers Inside Story (HAW HAW HAW GET IT?)
DKCR3D, I played the Wii version, but theres enough content and my own will to replay the game, ill get it again.
Yoshi's Island, instabuy.
New Zelda in the LTTP universe? My pants are suddenly like 5 sizes too small for the amount of boner i have.

new mario party!!!

Yeah, I know it's an original game. So's Pushmo/Pullblox, Dillon's Rolling Western, etc. In its current state, this Zelda looks like any standard eShop game.

Top-Down Zeldas are great games, sure, but they tend to be on a smaller scale than games like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. I'm not saying that this game is a bad idea (so nobody flame me alright?), but I'd rather this one be more of a side project such as an eShop title, especially when we know what the 3DS could handle much more.

It's not the Zelda I was expecting for 3DS, that's all. So for now, I'm just going to wait for the next one.

 

[lismati]

New Mario & Luigi. I'm so gone.
Any word on the date I get to dust off my 3DS? (Meaning the day M&L hits the shelves obviously)

 

[BORTZ]

The Yoshi's Island announcement blind sided me completely. After the DS title, I went back to the original (well the GBA one) and played till i got EVERYTHING. Im so pumped about a new one.

 

[Kouen Hasuki]

I was hoping for Bubsy 3DS

There's actually an interview somewhere that explained SJ was going to be a numbered title (IV) but they changed it because it wasn't based in Japan like all of the rest.
Just an interesting fact.

Didn't Iwata mentioned that IV was going to have a europe setting?

I think it's still Japan, but the areas feel like european settings. There are samurai and such. I'm not too sure though. I can't imagine a mainline SMT game outside of Japan...

 

[JulietStMoon]

I'm so excited about the new Zelda. I wasn't expecting them to announce anything involving that franchise <3

So am I! And I just finished my first playthrough ever of A Link to the Past a couple months ago (it's already in my top three favorite Zeldas), so this is just perfect!

Now, I just need to play the "Game Boy Trilogy" (Link's Awakening and the Oracle games) before this comes out!

Most of the gameplay footage seem to take place in Japanese rural areas, looked it up and seems like it begins in a medieval Europe type of setting at least.
You're the sensei so you're probably right.
