Super Mario 64 has been out for ages now. Why aren't they planning to release OoT for the DS? Can the system not handle it? Has Nintendo ever commented on this?
 
I don't think the analog controls translate to touch pad that well. Better than expected, but not as well as the N64 greats deserve.

This exactly. Honestly, I couldn't stand Super Mario 64 DS for the controls alone.
 
Maybe we will see this on the DSi store?

doubt it usually Mario gets the port treatment
I'd buy this at a budget price though :p (would prefer Majora's Mask though)

Fixed.
 
[quote name='laaj']For next handheld Nintendo should look at pressure sensitive d-pad for 3d games.[/QUOTE]

The nature of the d-pad makes this impossible. It's either on or off. Even if it were pressure sensitive, it'd still be hard as hell to control. An analog stick might work if it's nothing like the PSP's.

Agreed. Some classics make sense to bring to handhelds, this isn't one.

Talk it over with the boss.

How long are you taking in there? If I'm looking for a game I can play in BM-sized time frames, Ocarina isn't my first choice.

Why would it be hard? Think of it as d-pad on top of analog stick. Developers can just use it as regular d-pad or use it as analog stick.
 
Not enough buttons to hotkey inventory items (hook shot, bombs, etc.). Just look at Link's DS outing...all touch screen fighting. I don't think Ocarina would be the same with the different control scheme.

B jumps, Y attacks, A picks stuff up and interacts with objects.. R trigger would put you into whatever mode you needed to be in to shoot bows and arrows, etc.. the "hot keys" would be what the touchscreen is for, all action would be on the top screen.. it could easily work

Agreed. I also like the phrase "BM-sized time frames" and I will start trying to work that into conversations.
