Did you guys hear? they are making a 3d zelda on the Ultra 64

[Anonymous No.649982]

You're not funny.

[Anonymous No.649984]

here is the ultra 64, why isn't it gray like the other nintendo consoles

[Anonymous No.649996]

I remember people bitching that it'd just be Mario 64 with swords.

[Anonymous No.650003]

>they

>>649996
My friend said something like that, i think its going to be awesome

[Anonymous No.650018]

>>649996
Well it was made on the same engine.

>>649984
Code names for consoles are almost always better than the final names. RIP Katana.

[Anonymous No.650024]

>>650018
it does look somewhat the same, i wonder if the c buttons will be used to control the camera like in mario 64

[Anonymous No.650034]

>>650024
Yeah, that would make sense. A for sword and B for items, C for camera.

[Anonymous No.650050]

>>650018
For what I understand, Ultra 64 was more than the code name, it was going to be the final name but there was some pattent problem so they had to change it.

And yeah it sounds way cooler.

[Anonymous No.650121]

It won't work. How will you accurately target bad guys in 3D in real time. The graphics look immense though.

[Anonymous No.650123]

>>649982
I thought it was pretty humorous

It felt more traditionally "Zelda" in my arrogant opinion.

[Anonymous No.650187]

>>650146
you mean its going to look different?

My favorite game magazine. Their previews were so fun to read. They'd do such a good job of getting me hyped for games I previously had no idea existed.

[Anonymous No.650194]

>they are making a 3d zelda on the Ultra 64

Don't be silly. Zelda wouldn't work in 3D.

This is what I thought back then, and this is what I still think now.

[Anonymous No.650225]

>>650018
Project Reality was the code name, NU64 was production name until a few months before release when it was changed with no explanation.

>how Sega and Sony try to get into your brain

Little did they know that Sony has maintained a market monopoly for two whole generations, and people say the PS3 is the best console of the current generation.

[Anonymous No.650246]

>>650225
Probably because they realised that after "Super", "Ultra", they'd have a hard time finding something to continue it that didn't sound absurd. Instead of Gamecube, it would've been the Nintendo Mega Box.

[Anonymous No.650312]

>>650246
At least then we wouldn't have gotten a silly name like "Wii" and "WiiU". Whatever happened to names like "Genesis" or "NES" or the ones that were all numbers like the Atari systems? Those were badass.

[Anonymous No.650340]

>>650312
what is a wii, and wii u?

[Anonymous No.650349]

>>650312
I was equally pissed off that they didn't stick with Revolution, which they probably would have done if they hadn't decided to shoot for the casual family market.

Egads, my position as a time-traveller has been revealed! I must make sure there are no witnesses...

Don't worry, i aint seen nothin

[Anonymous No.650364]

>>650246

Gamecube was almost Star Cube I think.

Also Revolution was so much better than Wii.

[Anonymous No.650380]

>>650364
>Starcube
>Revolution

I miss the good old days. This is why I like this board.

[Anonymous No.650383]

>>650380
Starcube?
you mean starcraft?

[Anonymous No.650392]

>>650383
Oh shit, Starcraft 64! Good fucking times.

[Anonymous No.650919]

>>650738
I think it was just an artistic decision to have fog on the forest, look at >>650597, same build but great draw distance

[Anonymous No.650942]

>>650919
well that is what they said about superman 64, they said that it was "kryptonite fog"

[Anonymous No.650957]

>>650942
Yeah but Superman 64 is always foggy, early zelda 64 builds had greater drawing distance

[Anonymous No.650969]

>>650738
I'll bet they just didn't have anything modeled there yet.

[Anonymous No.650975]

Well, it IS the Lost Woods, after all. Maybe it was supposed to be hard to see shit.

I'm still disappointed that I didn't get this game:

It kind of looks like a polygonal Zelda 2.
