Nintendo World 2011’s popularity contest

Articles · Old Games News archive

CrowdWhen Nintendo World 2011 kicked off on January 8, 2011 there was a lot of buzz and anticipation surrounding the new line ups offered by Nintendo for the pending year. Lists of games in the works were highly coveted leading up to the event, and everyone was very interested in the release of the Nintendo 3DS. Everyone wanted a chance to play the new, working titles at the booths designed for games such as Kid Icarus: Uprising (which earned two booths) or Puzzle Bobble 3D, both inspired by older, classic games from the eighties and nineties.

However, the most popular booth, hands down, was that of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. That’s right…no twist on the title except for the addition of 3D. It isn’t a sequel or a game inspired by the original. It is reported to BE the original Nintendo 64 game, remastered for a 3D format. The posted wait time to sample the game? Over two hours. The age of the game? Thirteen years old. To learn more about pending titles or the wait times for other games, read more here.
