Have you realized that females are being more represented in Nintendo’s games as of late? Peach is playable in a mainline Mario game. Pikmin 3 has a playable female character. Dixie is back in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Mario Kart 8 has a selection of female characters such as Peach, Daisy and Toadette. And Bayonetta 2 features a female lead.
With Kotaku having notice the rising prominence of female characters in upcoming Nintendo titles, the site had the following exchange with Shigeru Miyamoto:
At one point, Nintendo was considering a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. The company seemed keen on either pursuing that route, or making a Link to the Past sequel. We all know that Nintendo opted for the latter, but Shigeru Miyamoto hasn’t completely forgotten about breathing new life into its old N64 classic.
Miyamoto said the following when asked if Majora’s Mask fans were out of luck: “Well, they’re still in my memory.”
Maybe Nintendo could revisit the possibility of a Majora’s Mask 3DS remake further on in the handheld’s lifecycle?
