Could we see a 3D remake of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for 3DS? While that’s far from being confirmed at this point, Skyward Sword producer Eiji Aonuma somewhat teased the possibility.

In an interview with GamesRadar, Aonuma said:

“Well actually, even Mr. Miyamoto himself has been talking recently about going back to the 2D Zelda games, in particular the ones that were designed with multiple levels to the world like A Link to the Past, and taking those 2D graphics and recreating them in 3D so that you could get a sense for the depth of those worlds. That’s something that might be interesting to do, so I would say there might be a possibility of something like that in the future.”

I’m in agreement with Aonuma: that idea definitely be very interesting. Is this something you guys would like to see?

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

During an investor’s briefing a couple of weeks ago, Capcom was asked why Monster Hunter Tri G is being made for the 3DS.

The company said:

“First, we believe that using the Nintendo 3DS will allow us to offer new types of expressions, game play action and enjoyment for the ‘Monster Hunter’ series, which has attracted a broader range of user segments. In addition, we selected this platform with the goal of reaching a diverse spectrum of customer segments, including current users of the ‘Monster Hunter’ series as well as people who have portable game consoles.”

Capcom considering Monster Hunter Tri G localization

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Although Monster Hunter Tri G hasn’t been announced for overseas territories, there’s still a pretty good chance that the game will be localized. Capcom shared a status update about their plans for North America/Europe with investors a couple of weeks ago, explaining that the company “will consider launching this title overseas”. A final decision has yet to be made.

Capcom said:

“Our stance for the overseas distribution of this title is the same as for the entire ‘Monster Hunter’ series. We are selling the preceding title ‘Monster Hunter Tri’ overseas so we will consider launching this title overseas, too. But no decision has been reached yet.”
