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.

We posted this yesterday through one of the latest 3DS trailers, but I have a feeling some of you missed it. It’s 11 seconds of greatness! It shows a much improved Death Mountain, and this is the first time we’ve truly seen Hyrule Field in video form. We’ve also added some screencaps/screengabs to this post. You can check them out below, or in the link here.

UK retailer GAME has managed to get their hands on a final, retail release of the 3DS. You can check out a bunch of unboxing photos above, but there is one image in particular that should be pointed out.

Of course, we know that six AR cards are bundled with the handheld. While most of the cards had been a mystery, the first photo above indicates that Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus, and Pikmin will be involved in the 3DS’ Augmented Reality functionality. Unfortunately, we don’t know much more than that. We’ll have to wait for additional information, so stay tuned!
