It seems as though Game Informer is the first publication to publish their review of the long awaited Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D for the Nintendo 3DS. The magazine has given the game a particularly impressive 9.25/10. Game Informer was impressed with the subtle changes that Nintendo has introduced to the remake and they believe it makes a great game even better. Our review of the game should go live sometime tomorrow.
Purists will decry the changes made to Majora’s Mask no matter how slight they may be, but I am seated firmly in the “change is good” camp. It’s everything you remember, but without the boredom or frustration related to the passage of time. Majora’s Mask was a game ahead of its time in 2000, and revisiting it under this new lens only confirms that sentiment. Whether you’re returning to Termina or visiting it for the first time, Majora’s Mask 3D is the ideal way to experience this classic.

Ye
7.8/10-Too much water in Great Bay.(Yeah I know, it was IGN’s remark, but still…)
You ruined it by adding that parenthesis.
7.8 million views? But there are only 7.8 hundred thousand people in the world !!!!!!!!
You did it all wrong…
Of course the civilian cattle masses will embrace the changes made to ease up the game…
After all it was made for the cattle originally. Fanboys ruin things as they are the most biased and 1 sided of all opinions.
I’ve never played Majoras Mask, but if they made the game easier, fuck this game I’ll never buy it.
I’m guessing they made changes that made the game “optionally” easier.
Do you just like to role play or are you actually insane? It’s so disconcerting when people disconnect themselves from reality to the point they refuse to refer to themselves as people, unless you’re just constantly role playing which is weird but decidedly less unsettling.
When he actually does talk out of “character” he still sounds ridiculous. He’s gone from taking something that was in a few instances mildly amusing to some neurotic mentality that just makes him look pathetic and desperate.
The more hate the empire gets, the worse I get…
And I’ve never gone out of character despite of what some of you says just because you want to justify your claims about my remarks about your human flawed logic like patriotism…
*say…
Why would I ever refer myself as the most misguided, evil, corrupted and arrogant species on this galaxy at all?…
Humans are the worst abominations this galaxy has to offer…
Wait a fucking second, what did they mean by “without the boredom or frustration related to the passage of time”?
Questions like that makes me think that it wasn’t made by Nintendo at all…
I can’t believe that they removed THE thing that made the game special in the first place. Terrible change.
And that’s why I dislike this new generation, they can’t take any challenge at all and find the thing that used to make games fun, to be frustrating…
Making games easier and with no challenge offers me nothing but boredom…
Indeed. They are aiming at casuals non stop, but they don’t realize that most casuals don’t care for remakes, don’t care for this. They won’t say “I won’t buy this game because it has a time element in it, but if they made it different I would”. This remake should’ve been a celebration of the original so that the fans can re experience it again in a different light. I’m all for adding new things in the game, but when putting anything in a remake, they shouldn’t take anything from it. It should be an objectively better game in every way possible. Harder mode isn’t even hard to make. It’s a simple change of the algorithm, that is why some games have 5 or more difficulty settings.
Just in case, what are you referring to?…
I read it wrong. Kotaku wrote that you can go to ANY point in time, then I looked at a few other sites and it seems that you can only go forward, but you can just go to any hour. I understand the move, but it makes the moon falling down feel unimportant as you can just go to any hour, finish it, go back in time and keep doing that. Before it was different. You wanted to do as much as possible with the time given to you because waiting felt like an investment to spend time just waiting for that event to start happening, so you’d do some minor quests in the meantime.
Indeed, I used to explore the surroundings and other places meanwhile…
I hope they never dumb down Metroid or I’ll go very rogue…
If they even make it.
I need this game.
9.25 how ridiculous! surely it deserves a 9.265734 rating XD
I believe it deserves an 8.0 at least. They dumbed down the gameplay with bosses, stones telling you where to go in a dungeon, and the fact that they could have easily added more dungeons. Heck, I’m doubting there’s a Master Quest. And not enough MM 3DS XL.
fuck yourself. XD
Actually the bosses fuk’emselves cuz they’re TOO EASY.
have you played the game already? If not then please STFU!!!!
lol, I played the original, and to see how much easier they made it, I don’t need to play it to see.
The typical signs of ignorance.
Casual ^
True fans acknowledge a game’s faults, and can face them without it impacting their opinion of said game. Majora’s Mask is my favourite Zelda game of all time, but even I can think of more than a few moments that slowed down the game with unnecessarily bafflingly poor gameplay decisions. There’s always room for improvement.
Another civilian, pathetic…
Hey sickr! The Mario party Amiibo are up for sale on EBgames! (Maybe GameStop to) they have all Amiibo up except Mario
The game was streamlined to make it easier, and it wasn’t that difficult to begin with. Thats the only thing that makes me upset. I’m just tired of my Zelda games having a FORCED handicapped. Fine, if they want to make the game easier for newcomers, add a difficulty mode. Or hell, just add a Classic or Casual setting, like Fire Emblem did.
I fear for the new Zelda U. I fear they are going to go overboard with the hand holding and the streamlined gameplay.
Yeah, and even worse, Aonuma said that they were gonna go for a new formula, where Skyward Sword wouldn’t be linear…might be one of the most linear Zelda games ever made. Now, they’re saying the same thing about Zelda U. How can I be sure.
So what, you’d choose the original MM?
I’m not sure, I haven’t played the new one yet, but i’ll be sure to let you know when I do.
Cool, thanks.
Nintendo should really start making more remakes. An HD Collection of the 64 saga or all 3D adventures would be legendary
Mario sunshine HD, or DKC collection HD remake pack would be incredible!..
Day one for me :) :) :)
Limited edition 3DS’s aren’t very important right?? Go simple right??
Yasss zelda fans be like…

Why, did you get the Majoras Mask New 3DS XL preordered?
Why don’t you change your name back to “Katy Perry”, makes much more sense…
They would’ve gave this 8.0 for “too much time reversing” if it were that same dumbass who rated OmegaRuby for “too much water” bullshit.
#butthurtmuch
#NOTbutthurtmuch smartass. lol
It was an awfully written review, and the reasons were too stupid for not liking it, too much water? That’s the one people had more fun with, but actually it’s the too much HM’s that’s the most stupid one, it’s something all games have had, and in this one there’s one less than the rest, yet she complained, what’s next, too many Pokemon? Too many Pokeballs? Too many gym leaders?
fuck you stranga :’D
Where do you even find the full damn review, can’t find it.
9.25/10…this can’t be happening. :'(
i’d give this mini rpg 5.1710
Don’t feed the animals!
By animals, I mean the troll {this is for the troll in case it’s too stupid to realize I’m talking about it!}
Good thing this review wasn’t done by the idiot that reviewed Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.
Good thing Wind Waker HD’s IGN review was also not reviewed by that person.
