Legend of Zelda: Majora

APRIL FOOLS:

Nintendo has teamed up with Retro Studios to bring the eagerly anticipated Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask to Nintendo 3DS as a crossover with nintendogs!

Series father and all round gaming guru Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed in the latest Iwata Asks with producer Eiji Aonuma and members of Retro Studios that he felt the storyline in the much loved Nintendo 64 original was "too scary" and felt the need to upend the table on the Nintendo 3DS remake of Majora's Mask.

The game was ready for a release on December 21st 2012 but development halted in order to produce a very unique take on Majora's Mask, due for release on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on April 1st 2014.

Entitled The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask x nintendogs, you take on the role of Link, who adopts Skull Kid as a virtual pet in the world of nintendogs. Take Majora for walks, feed and bathe him in all new adventure suitable for all the family. Retro Studios is handling development, supervised by Aonuma and Miyamoto.

Nintendo is all about innovation. We spent twenty five years inviting you into new worlds with Link (laughs), but now it is your turn to save Hyrule as a breeder.  We are also planning download content to add more creatures. The Deku Scrub, Stalfos and Ganondorf are all planned as DLC for late 2014.
Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America President

I am chuffed that Nintendo decided to "upend the table". We were originally developing Metroid x Star Fox together with Metroid Prime 4, but scrapped both projects in favour of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask x nintendogs.

Mate, you're wrong Smilie GAME OF THE DECADE!!!

I had a skype session with Iwata this morning. He said loads of DLC coming for this in 2015! Apparently Aonuma is considering scrapping Zelda Wii U to make an HD version of this!

May as well cancel the future of both franchises and all future Nintendo consoles, because the industry won't need anything else once this masterpiece hits! Smilie

Sometimes you just gotta get really out there for some great original jokes (for example, Google Nose! and the Pokémon University courses)
