Miyamoto Not Interested in More 3DS Remakes … Except Link to the Past, Maybe

More original titles on the way for the 3DS.

In a recent interview with The Guardian, famed game designer Shigeru Miyamoto says Nintendo is not interested in any more 3D remakes for the 3DS. "We would like to create more new titles. For example, this year we are making Super Mario 3D, but it's not really a remake of [the Wii's Super Mario] Galaxy."

The 3DS will see several 3D makeovers of old games this summer, including remakes of Nintendo 64 games The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Star Fox 64. Additionally, downloadable versions of NES title will be getting the 3D treatment on the 3DS beginning with Excitebike, which will be available free to Japanese 3DS owners as part of a system update this month.


Miyamoto qualified his statement about potential 3D remakes, adding "The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past could be one. I think it would be good to see that world with a layered 3D effect." A Link to the Past, which originally appeared on Super Nintendo but has also been released on the Game Boy Advance, would be the first 16-bit title to appear on the 3DS with altered graphics.
