Ocarina of Time 3D will be “faithful” to the original
This information comes from Rob Saunders, Head of Communications for Nintendo UK, who was asked what kind of remake Ocarina of Time 3D will be…
“I think it really depends on what that game looked like first time round. Take, for example, Super Mario Bros on the NES. If you were to bring that straight out again today I think a lot of people would scratch their heads. However, with the New Super Mario Bros: You can tweak it, you can update it, you can sharpen it and you can change the character models, the environment. But the core mechanic of that 2D side-scrolling game play remains the same. So with some games, like Ocarina, you’ll see a much more ‘faithful’ reproduction but I think with some other games you need to tweak them and bring them into the modern era, so to speak, so it depends on the title.”
I’ve been wondering just how much will be added in Ocarina of Time 3D. The textures and character models have been improved, optional gyroscope usage has been added, and the inventory now takes advantage of the 3DS’ touch screen. Nintendo still has a few more months to reveal further changes.
