Well, there's one Sunday I won't be leaving the house. Europe, as usual, gets it the previous Friday, June 17th.

The day before my sister's wedding, crap. I'm not going to be able to play it till Sunday. The boxart could have been better, too. Oh well, at least the game is going to be awesome!

Sorry, Zero. I didn't see it in that thread ... maybe I could keep this thread, though, it's an important announcement and maybe I'm not the only one who didn't see it in the other thread. Go ahead and delete it if you see fit, though, of course.

And I think the boxart's sweet - it's gold like the classic N64 cartridge!

Awesome, a 13 year old remake is Nintendo's big second quarter release, along with a sequel to the amazing Wii Play!!!!

Sorry guys, I'm just one bitter piece of shit right now. Nintendo is my forever husband that will beat me and then tell me everything is going to be alright.

I hope the cartridge is gold. Now that would be awesome!

I guess that's cool. I mean, I could go play it right now if I wanted lol.

Seems maybe a bit too soon if they were going for a sales boost from the game.

A 13-year old remake of the greatest game of all time. Nintendo is basically taking you on your second honeymoon. Be grateful!

2 months whoo! I'll finally have a 3DS game!

That is pretty much how I feel. I only played it once on the N64, so this will almost feel like a new game to me. In 3D.

That box art better be in lenticular 3D like SSFIV.

It will be a new game, go straight to the Master Quest.

Edit: assuming it's not an unlockable. Which would suck balls.

I had already guaranteed Nintendo my money with this so I'm happy to finally give it to them.

@anon_mastermind

I'd be willing to bet you have to beat the first quest to get to the second quest, but maybe if you put your name as Zelda, you can go straight to the Second Quest.

@Orbital74 Stop trollin' so much man! Anyway, I don't particularly care about this por... I mean "remake" but adding in Master Quest at least gives a ton of new content to people who only experienced the N64 version.

No, solid gold!

@Jargon
I think that credit is only valid on the launch games, if it's the one of the same ones that I received.

@Orbital74
In a way, I kind of agree--I wish I was a little more excited about this remake, but as someone who owns 1) the original, 2) (two copies of) the Master Quest bonus disc, 3) the Zelda GCN Collection, I feel like buying a fourth copy of the game is overkill. Even if it is my favorite game ever.

I'm sure it'll be a great release, but I'm more concerned with the timing of it all. Nintendo gives us three pretty good but admittedly B-list launch titles, then in the months following it, only release two N64 ports: OoT in June and SF64 in July (JPN). Which means we're still waiting for the 3DS's "Meteos" or "Kirby Canvas Curse"! Wasn't Icarus supposed to be launch...?

Anyway, the official teaser site is up and has a nice piece of art.

But you only paid for ONE of those copies, and it was many, many years ago! Will you punish Nintendo for their divine generosity?

I was afraid of that, but was hoping it might not be the case. Ugh, what am I going to choose?

Is the 'Playable in 2D & 3D mode' thing at the bottom really necessary? Aren't all 3DS games playable in 2D or 3D? It uglifies the very nice cover art.
