…At least, it does on your 3DS (Or hidden away somewhere in your attic, natch) with the return of two of the 64′s best games – Star Fox 64 (or Lylat Wars as it’s known here in Europe) and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time!
Both of these games are being re-released for 3DS and boast updated graphics with various new features which is sure to excite any retro gamer, what’s even better is that Nintendo have recently revealed release dates for both titles!
Star Fox is set for release on the 14th July in Japan. There’s no confirmation on the US and UK dates so far but considering Nintendo’s recent releases you can bet you won’t have to wait much longer. Nintendo have also recently launched an official Japanese site for Starfox showing off the intro scene of the game – Head on over to Nintendo Japan now to check it out.
Now onto the Zelda side of things – Ocarina of Time 3D will be released in Japan on June 16th, Europe on June 17th and America on June 19th; so it won’t be long before you can once again begin your adventure through the world of Hyrule, annoying chickens and tossing pots around all day long.
As well as this, it’s recently come to light that it’s not actually Nintendo who are handling the development side of Ocarina Of Time but instead a little known studio called Grezzo who have so far only released a handful of small games, one of those being a Japan only WiiWare release. It may seem like an odd move but Nintendo obviously has faith in them and Grezzo is run by former Square employee and developer of the Mana series, Koichi Ishii. In that respect it’s a similar kind of venture as Prope, a fairly small development team with Yuji Naka at the helm, creator of the Sonic series; If Grezzo lives up to the potential that Prope did, we have nothing to worry about.
Despite the fact that the remake isn’t actually being made by Nintendo then, it does seem to be in good hands and who could be dumb enough to ruin a remake anyway? Oh yeah, Rare – How Diddy Kong Racing DS ended up such a disaster I’ll never know.
