Thanks to Jake for the tip!
According to a OFLC rating for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Nintendo themselves are not handling the project. The listing indicates that Grezzo is the developer behind the title. Grezzo most notably created Line Attack Heroes for Wii, which was released on Japanese WiiWare last year.
2th April 2011 – Hot on the heels of the European launch of the Nintendo 3DS system, which launched with thirteen full-3D games on 25th March, the next few months are going to prove just as busy for 3D gaming fans!
17th June 2011 sees one of the most acclaimed instalments in Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series making its way onto Nintendo 3DS. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D is a re-mastered version of the classic Nintendo 64 title. Originally released worldwide in 1998, the game has sold over 7.6 million copies and is considered one of the most critically acclaimed games in history.
This new edition features enhanced graphics that depict the adventures of the heroic Link in captivating detail. Fans of the series can once again help Link on his quest to save Hyrule from the evil Ganondorf, by exploring many dungeons, temples and using the titular ocarina to aid him on his quest – but this time all in 3D and all without the need for special glasses. The game now also takes advantage of the gyro sensor inside the Nintendo 3DS system: by physically moving the system players are enabled to explore and look around with a first-person view. This edition has been localised into 5 European languages which includes English, French, German and for the first time ever the game has also been localised into Spanish and Italian.
Although The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was not listed on Nintendo’s press release for second quarter releases, the game is still on track for this year. Nintendo previously said that Ocarina of Time 3D will launch first and Skyword Sword will ship at a later date. It does appear, however, that the game will not release in early 2011 despite Eiji Aonuma’s original goal. If I had to guess, I’d say that Skyward Sword won’t be out until the holidays.
The Nintendo 3DS™ acquires its first million selling title!
Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) is pleased to announce that “Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition” for the Nintendo 3DS has shipped one million units worldwide.
“Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition” adds a visceral 3D depth effect and perspective, a fully featured online matchmaking system, the ability to play against other Nintendo 3DS owners with only one Game Card, and more new content for a refreshing, complete experience. Players can also utilize the system’s Touch Screen to control their character, providing beginner players with a simple control scheme to enjoy the action. These features, possible only on the Nintendo 3DS system, have received high praise from users and have successfully expanded the audience for our fighting games. In capturing both new fans and longtime fans of the series, we were able to reach the one million unit mark for this title.
“Street Fighter” was first released in the arcades in 1987. This was followed up in 1991 with the smash hit “Street Fighter II”, and as of April 12 2011, the series as a whole has shipped over 31 million units on home consoles worldwide. The innovative battle system found in the “Street Fighter” games helped to establish the fighting game genre.
Update: No Ace Attorney either. Sorry!
To be honest, I never put much stock into the Monster Hunter 3DS rumor. If there was going to be a Monster Hunter announcement, it would not take place at an event like Captivate. I’m sure Capcom would save such a significant reveal for Japan.
In any case, all speculation can be put to rest: there was nothing Monster Hunter-related at Captivate. Capcom confirmed that the series was not represented at the company’s event last week.
