A Link to the Past 2 Will "Shock" Fans

[Poetic Nova]

This smells like "we ran out of ideas" or else Cashcow franchise. i think the first one.

Why does the FPS matter so much to people?

The eye can only see about 25 different pictures per second anyway.

Except that our eyes don't see by frames per second. You're confusing the fact that 24 FPS is the industry standard for movies and TV and somehow making it into a statistic about how our eyes work, when really it's just a matter of not wanting to spend more money on extra film for extra frames that they don't need since your average movie-goer is unlikely to notice the difference.

Edit: Also, watch this [http://youtu.be/buSaywCF6E8], maybe you'll learn something.

Well, at least it's one more reason to use my 3DS.
It'd be nice to have a reason that ISN'T Mario Zelda Pokemon...but that's Nintendo for you.

oh shii zelda is preggers

...With a werewolf. And it's Link's kid...from the future.

And the kid turns out to be Twilight princess link.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Welp, guess I'll finally be buying a 3DS. But let's be honest, we all knew this was coming, and that we'd all be calmly frothing at the bit for it.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Allow me to put this in perspective...

If it isn't more "shocking" than fighting the fetus of all evil inside something VERY reminiscent of a uterus called 'The Devil's Machine' while hauntingly scary music is played while you fight it, I am not impressed. Nor shocked. None. Whatsoever. In the slightest. OK? OK.

 

[Dr. Cakey]

Remember when everybody was all pissed at sequelized games but Nintendo got a free pass? Now it's the opposite!

Cyclical Trope, bitches.

I'm already shocked by the fact that this game is even being made and not pleasantly either. A Link to the Past's ending didn't really leave room for a direct sequel, how the hell are they shoehorning this thing in? I cringe at the thought of how many retcons are going into this.

you know, apart from the oracle series and LA ;P

there's a space of time between the end of LttP and OoS/OoA that Hyrule Historia calls "The Era of Light and Dark" where link was the triforce's errand boy (and it's the same link, not a different one), during his two final trials to save holodrum and labrynna, ganon gets brought back to life and he goes to look for a method of killing ganon for good, gets caught in a storm, and Link's Awakening happens.

don't you think it's odd how they released OoS/OoA, the two games that are direct sequels to LttP RIGHT before E3?
I'm guessing that the story will tie into what link did in that time and possibly have a couple of references to the oracles (it'd be interesting if we got to see onox and veran again, veran was such an interesting villain, she's second only to girahim in the amount of time she interacts with link directly)

I didn't think those were supposed to be direct sequels or even related to LttP. Never the less I'm still leery about this.

 

[CyberMachinist]

I have an idea of the twist...... You are playing Ganons secret child that has amnesia...... And has been fooled into thinking he/she's link and you will have to kill an evil link with some magical sword because there can be only one..... antagonist.

 

[Soak]

Am I the only person who doesn't want this game?

Link to the Past was a complete experience and doesn't need a sequel.

No, thinking the same thing + that Nintendo is getting more and more lazy by the - well, by what? Every console generation? every new thing they get out? The second?

Nintendo - and by that Zelda itself - will always be what hooked me to gaming, but that bonus by itself won't bring me to buy their stuff anymore, until they do something that will really excite me again, which this news can't so far.

A Link to the Past already had a direct sequel: Link's Awakening on the Gameboy. If they were to carry on the story from there, that might be interesting.

I didn't realise that you all felt so strongly about this.

Even if it does matter I do not understand why it's a selling point

A game on the 3ds is not going to impress graphily anyway

I can't speak for anyone else, but I can speak on why the games producer is using the "60 fps in 3D mode" thing as a selling point.

Simply put, at sixty frames per second the screen motion will look drastically smoother than at thirty frames. What this will lead to is a much smoother, less disorienting look to the 3D. An issue many have had with the 3D on the 3DS.

It's sad that it's taken this long for a dev to get a game running (on the 3DS) with smooth framerates while the 3D is enabled, but at least someone's finally done it.

 

[Olrod]

I think I just had a nerdgasm.

If I didn't already own a 3DS, I'd be buying one just to play "A Link to the Past 2" on it!

 

[Pebkio]

Seriously? This game will suddenly make the 3DS "worth it?" Everyone sing along now...

You got the... hooooook shooooot.

It's people like this:

I don't get it. It's another bloody Zelda. In a long line of other bloody Zeldas. I can understand if you really enjoyed the very first legend of Zelda and then Zelda 2 was going to come out on the SNES and it made you want to go buy the SNES. But we've had 65 Zeldas and now you're all hyped for the sequel to Zelda #12? And what? With a twist? Gasp! The sassy pirate was actually Princess Zelda... vhat a tvist!

Wait, he said "shock". MAYBE it'll actually cause slight electrocution if you get caught by the electricity traps in the game.

I stopped playing the Zelda series after Ocarina of Time. I did play whichever one it was where you had to sail around the islands (may have been Wind Waker?) and Phantom Hourglass, but I didn't really enjoy either of those.

I bloody loved A Link to the Past though, I'm not going to buy 2 because it's another Zelda game, but because it's a sequel to one of my favourite games of my childhood.

That does make sense, the 3D always made my head and eyes hurt

You know what? I'm glad Nintendo's confident in this.

Some hope left in 'm yet.
