Not too many games coming out next week in Japan, but they’re all worth your attention. Here’s what’s due to hit shelves, courtesy the review pages of Famitsu magazine:
– The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (9/9/9/10, 37 points): Nobody was expecting a bad review of this 3DS remake, definitely. “The game’s the same,” one writer said, “but being able to play Ocarina on a portable is really amazing. The hard-but-not-too-hard play balance is still there, and the hints make it a stressless experience. The 3D backdrops also have to be seen to be believed.”
Most reviewers remarked on how kind the passage of time has been to Ocarina’s core gameplay. “It still doesn’t feel old,” one said. “The graphic improvements are well-made, and the controls are also enhanced.” This was echoed in another reviewer’s text: “It hardly feels like a 13-year-old game. From the UI to the game’s gyroscope gimmicks and 3D graphics, the sense of adventure here is stratospheric.”
