I know I'm not the only one interested. LttP on the SNES is a top ten all-time favorite of mine. It was a return to greatness after an...alright offering in Zelda II. My expectations aren't quite that high for the series anymore, but that's not to say that the sequel has alot to live up to.

The NA release is scheduled for November.

The EU release is scheduled for December.

I didn't see the JP territory mentioned.

A Link to the past is my favorite Zelda game of all time and I've played every console Zelda game and a good number of the handheld ones. This looks to be a great title.

I know this has to be the fourth time I've said this but, I'm crossing my fingers that they'll release a Link to the Past version of the XL like they did when Animal Crossing New Leaf came out. They usually have one special version every holiday at Toys R Us and since they still want 220 for the combo units they really don't fly off the shelf. I was trying out my friend's original 3DS yesterday and was digging it. Only thing I had a problem with was holding the game while playing Kid Icarus without the stand, my left middle finger felt like it was going to snap off. Also, how much better is Uprising with the Circle Pad Pro? I was thinking of stocking up on games and accessories now while Amazon was having a sale on some of the 1st Party 3DS games. You'll never get a Nintendo made game lower then 30 bucks so at 31 for some and a flat 30 for others make me want to stock up on them now while their cheep and have em' ready for when this drops in November.

I'm just thankful that I don't have to play another portable Zelda with the touch screen. I guess there's nothing wrong with the DS ones, but man... it just never felt right.

A true sequel to the best Zelda game ever...

Only thing that bugs me is when Link turns 2D to "Wall Crawl" he looks like the drawings from Wind Wakers Prologue

Link Between Worlds

Otherwise the LTTP Zelda did a good transition to 3D Polygons.

You should as there is many other 3DS games worth getting including Animal Crossing New leaf, Fire Emblem awakening and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon to name but a few. You'll won't regret it.

Lttp is one of my favourite games of all time, it opened up a whole new world of gaming for me back in the day. This new game looks great but i just dont have big chunks of time to sink into games anymore so i'll likely give it a miss. :(

It's probably too much to hope that Nintendo gives us some fan service and includes an unlockable freebie like the original LoZ. That's what made Contra IV such a great pickup, having the original NES Contras included.

Still, this will probably finally tip me towards getting a 3DS XL at some point.

I'd probably play the original over the remake.
Guess I'm a product of nostalgia.

Yeah, without wanting to sound like an nostalgic elitist, the original will always be better. The game certainly doesn't warrant buying the 3DS.

But how can you say that without playing the game? For all we know it may be superior or perfectly equal to the original. Hard to completely judge a game when all we have are some videos. The 3DS remake of OoT beats out the N64 original.

I'm pretty surprised that given the Oracle game releases in the eShop that they haven't tried to make an update to finish off a trilogy of sorts. ;)

Actually....... Have you noticed that is NOT ONE GBA game in the eShop? If the ambassador program gave early adopters GBA games why can't we have them? Nintendo is really starting to piss me off.
