Zelda: A Link to the Past sequel announced for 3DS
Nintendo announced a direct successor to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at its Nintendo Direct conference today. The game is coming this holiday season for the 3DS.
Nintendo finished its Nintendo Direct conference today with the announcement of a new Zelda game, intended as a direct successor to the SNES classic A Link to the Past. Nintendo of America head Reggie Fils-Aime said the game is set in the same world as LTTP, and a peak at the gameplay showed a similar setting and overhead perspective. The game, which lacks a title for the moment, is coming to the 3DS this holiday season.
The game is meant to "reinvigorate the flat 2D world" of LTTP, according to Fils-Aime. It will feature new dungeons, with an emphasis on taking advantage of different height levels. Link was shown activating blocks that flung him to higher levels of the dungeon, for example. Link can also become a drawing and move through the walls of the dungeons, for their own puzzle solutions. A video of the game in action will be available on the eShop later today.

oh. shit.
-
never wanted a 3DS, until now.
-
I have been thinking about grabbing one especially since that Batman metroivania game on it was announced. Now it's almost certain I'm gonna get one
-
Wait, which game was that?

The game is already perfect, just go back and play it. Hell, you can probably score an SNES with a copy of Zelda for less than $50 on craigslist.

It looks like it would look significantly better in HD and at 60fps.

i am going to have to get one now too bud. i wonder if i should wait for this to come out for maybe a price drop in the XL? if that's unlikely ill prolly get one after i finish up my other two fire emblems. dag.
-
-
I have absolutely no interest in this.
LTTP might just be my favorite game of all time, and if that team had made a direct sequel on the SNES then I'm sure it would have been amazing. But Nintendo now? I don't see it. I don't trust them to do anything interesting with this at all. Honestly, it feels a bit like desperation.-
-
Fair enough.
-
-
I feel like you haven't been giving N a proper chance then.
-3DS XL is the system the 3DS should have been, but it's still great
-NSMB 2 getting some talk
-Fire Emblem being a system selling like we haven't seen in a while
-Luigi winning people over out of nowhere
-The online store is doing some real compelling stuff! I have an RPG that's essentially a board game
-Etrian Odysee 4 being another surprise
I've been waiting for a 2D, 3DS native Zelda game for a while. I actually... don't give two whits about LTTP. Played it till I turned into a bunny and got bored. But I think this could be really quite good.
Plus you know we're going to see a new Advance Wars before too long. Man that's gonna rule.-
Isn't NSMB 2 considered the worst Mario game ever made?
I kind of have to agree, Nintendo just hasn't been very good lately. Fire Emblem was one of the better things to come from them but that was made by Intelligent Systems which is actually one of the most detached Nintendo 1st party development teams. A lot from the core Nintendo group really hasn't been very good for a while now. I do completely admit that the Wii U situation has left me pretty bitter though.
We'll have to see how this game goes. I find the art style completely horrible already though but maybe some decent gameplay will make up for it, but I'm with Sexpansion Pack here, I don't have a lot of faith in them being able to pull it off right now.
-
-
A lot of people didn't, and it's definitely inferior to NSMB:U but I think it's still a good game, just the worst in the NSMB sereis.
-
I loveNSMB2, but it is widely considered the least imaginative Mario game this side of Lost Levels.
-
-
-
Ugh, don't tease me with a new Advance Wars...
-
-
It's not for you.

oh fuck!! I might need to buy a 3DS now!
-
Someone at work here said there was a price drop coming on the 3DS. Is that true?
-
Well, I think Target's putting the 3DS XL on sale for $180 next week.

xl only comes in red blue and pink lame. i want dat midnight purple
-
-
I hope they release a new revision by Xmas that has the second thumb nub thingy in it because that expansion contraption is ridiculous.
-
Eh, isn't that mostly for shooters and fighting games? I doubt I'll be playing either genre on this device anyway.
-
Not going to happen unfortunately, at least not till the 4DS.
-
-
-
-
-
Can't wait to see what Retro has been working on.
-
Part of me hopes it's Metroid, part of me hopes it's another long lost IP (a great Star Fox game would make me go ballistic).

Can you output to a TV from a 3DS?

Seeing as I will now need to buy a 3DS... Whats better the 3DS or the 3DS XL?
I know bigger should be better but I remember seeing some comments that the bigger screen just made everything look more pixelated?-
-
So you think the 3DS is better in every way, but you wouldn't go back to using it after the XL?
I'm confused :D-
He's missing the XL afterwards probably due to an unfortunate edit.
-
-
XL it is I guess! :)
-
-
-
-
XL is pretty unanimously considered the better of the two, I've checked them out both together and couldn't really believe they launched the 3DS so small.
-
-
I see plenty of people with 3DS's on the train, when I get one I'm totally playing the whole ride on the way home, I'll just have to set an alarm to remind me when my stop is coming up.
-
All the time. Granted I have the og 3DS and not the XL, and this is one of the reasons why. And I don't give a shit if people think of me as a tool when I play my 3DS when i'm out and about. Do they look that way to people playing Angry Birds on their phone all day? or on Facebook?
-
3DS XL by far. Bigger screen, longer battery life, and more comfortable to hold imo.

Narrow it down. There were a lot of those in LTTP.

A Link to the Future?
-
Sweet! Kinda wish it was consoles.
-
-
That's one thing I really hope Nintendo does a lot of, putting 3DS games on the Wii U eShop or something, not that I won't be getting this for the 3DS once I've gotten one, but that I would love to play some of them on the big screen.
-
I'd be willing to bet we get a new Zelda top down on the WiiU. I have a feeling this is going to outsell every Zelda they've made in the past 15 year. Kinda like new super Mario bros did on the DS. It will remind Nintendo people love accessible Zelda that you turn on and it plays no 4 hour tutorials or nothing:)
-
If they killed the tutorial section for the 3D Zelda's it would make them so much better, I just need to know how to do whatever has changed, not everything that has been there since '98. I've mentioned it before, but there's a particular way they could potentially do a four-swords like zelda game that would make perfect sense on the Wii U that I really really really really hope they do sometime.
-
-
this would be good. I doubt it though, they need to move their 3DS's somehow.
-
Not really, they've got a ton of other titles doing that for them, the Wii U could use this a lot more so than the 3DS.

WHAT THE
-
-
-
Myself and at least two co-workers are gonna buy a 3DS for this.
-
-
ITT we learn that Link can still sell hardware.
-
Day one purchase for me.

Just bought a refurb'd 3DS today. I had been tempted when Fire Emblem came out but this put me over the edge, that and I'm deploying in three days. Also I had no idea that:
Games were in 3D. lol
It plays DS games.
I picked up Fire Emblem: Awakening, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (never played any of these), Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask (love these games), Ghost Recon Shadow Whatever, and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
Earlier in the thread a lot of you guys recommended the XL, which I looked at, but there didn't seem to be much difference besides $40 and screen size, so I went with the smaller one and got Luigi in that tradeoff. The size doesn't bother me at all, but then again I play GBA games on my micro and that is one tiny motherfucking screen.
I must say this thing is pretty damned cool. The online store is really neat, I have no idea what the fuck StreetPass is, and I'm trying to find Super Metroid or A Link to the Past on the e-store but it doesn't seem to be here. Must be broken.-
StreetPass is a thing where, if you walk on the street with your 3DS in sleep mode, and pass someone else in sleep mode, you can see them as an opponent later. I think. Probably a more useful idea in Japan or a major metropolitan area.
There's no SNES titles on the 3DS Virtual Console yet. Right now it's just NES and GB/GBC. There's some GBA games for "3DS Ambassadors" but not the rest of us yet (that was a program for people who bought the thing at $249, something of a consolation prize for buying it before they dropped the price to $169)
