I don't think nintendo is in charge of the special editions. Pretty sure its NOE, or NOA or whatever doing what they do. Bithc at NOA for not being as cool as NOE. I mean hell look at Club Nintendo perks. NOA ususally always is the worst of the litter.
Details, details. Which particular division to hate is just a detail. But considering everyone has been asking about this and going nuts for months/years, I don't see why they wouldn't do it. It just doesn't make sense.
this cover….<3
Sorry, I know you already used the joke, Foolio.
that cover is fantastic
Goddamn I keep throwing my wallet at the screen but nothing is happening. Why can't it be spring 2015 already?
That cover is amazing and so is the posters in the special edition
Fucking finally, take all my money Nintendo! :happy:
this cover….<3
And here's the North American version of the art:

Do you mean an uncropped version?

I mean, everything is Gold.
For some reason, Nintendo of America got it in their heads that Gold = Zelda so when we get gorgeous art like this for cover art, it typically gets erased entirely in America and replaced with a gold textured BG, or they keep the art, but mute it by putting a gold tint over everything.

Huh. Interesting that they gave Snowhead and Ikana their own quadrants, but gave Woodfall two, and Great Bay hardly any space at all.
Sepia/gold-ification is dumb :P
Well, the Great Bay doesn't have a whole lot to visually represent it. You spend large parts of that arc underwater and the Great Bay Temple didn't even get an outside view. I kind of wish it did, in retrospect. The dungeon's highly mechanical inner design would be interesting to reconcile with the very natural bay.
Edit: Apparently, there is an outer design for the temple that shows up on the Zelda wiki, but I can't remember ever seeing it. They really should have placed it in view from the shore, even at a distance.

The higher ups would probably make them petition four times though, with each attempt being slightly harder than the last. I bet it'd get tiresome.
Something something inner tube.
Slightly disappointed we get yet another gold cover art instead of a funderful colorful cover art, but at least it still looks super duper
Yeah it's kind of sadistic. They must have a lot of rage bottled up.
EDIT: Goddammit TWO posts got in my way? And Wagomu made my pun already!?
ragequits the internet
And here's the North American version of the art:
Aw….I know Zelda is gold, but I prefer without the gold.
Still, gotta love the art itself. Link at the front, the menacing moon overhead and Skull Kid at the back...then you got the transformations and townspeople in between, kinda like they're what Link has to use and meet to get to the harbinger of doom.
As long as they release the freakin posters stateside then that's okay. Not great, but okay.
@Purple:

Pretty much this, yeah. The poster is the main awesome thing. Thing is, while I'm not one to usually care about special editions or steelbook cases and such, I definitely want it for basically my favorite game.
Yeah, most of my posters are music, but I would totally hang Majora's Mask next to my Psychonauts one.
Full disclosure: That was a joke. It is the regular poster art recolored to be gold making fun of Nintendo's "Make everything in Zelda Gold" mentality.

The Great Bay was the least successful in terms of visual presentation in the original by a long shot, so I'm looking forward to the graphical update the most there.

Which is a shame because when you first get to the Great Bay and find Mikau that's like… one of the better moments in the game.

You CAN see it from the shore, and you can even go over to it if you're quick with your ice arrows and the Deku Mask. (Tho, you clearly weren't supposed to be able to reach it as it wasn't programed as a solid thing)
Here's a video of a guy doing it (Among other MM Glitches, he starts the one I'm talking about right at the 7 minute mark)

Oh thank goodness.
Because good lord, such a great and wonderful original piece of art getting the gold treatment is just… bleh

But… c'mon... we all know that's what Nintendo is going to do.
We're either not getting a pic at all, it'll just be a primarily gold cover with a texture and maybe a very feint image of Majora's Mask or something behind it.
Or.
We're getting that art with only the Logo and MAYBE Link fully colored, and everything else gold.
It's like Angry Kirby. You can COUNT on NoA doing it.

Huh, what do you know. I never even noticed that, since it's in the background of a screen you really only need to reach like once. I love how they didn't even program the back of the temple, though. And how it isn't even sized properly. It really is a lame and innocuous outer design compared to the wooden ziggurat, the ice dick and the stone cactus.

And there has been a few instances were they stopped the all Gold everything nonsense with Zelda titles
I've often wondered about that myself; seems like being supported by people who only want you there so the world can end in fire (with you going to Hell in the process) would be somewhat off-putting

I'll give you Kirby (Tho, that Kirby's Dream Collection had a plethora of Kirby's on there, and at least 5 of them were angry)
And I'll give you that a FEW Zelda games have had this, but First: Why did you include Twilight Princess there? Because they only made Link's half of the cover gold and the Wolf's silver?…
Also, Minish Cap and Spirit Tracks there still have the same problem, even if it wasn't straight up "All Gold all the time" Background.
Here's the Japanese Minish Cap box:
The NA/EU one has him standing in front of a gold coin.
The Japanese one shows lots of greens and forest, while the American one is just "Link in front of Gold coin".
And Spirit Tracks, well, it's still the entire background art with a bluish silver tint over it. I think, honestly, the only reason they didn't make that tint gold was to differentiate it from Phantom Hourglass which WAS gold.
The Japanese and European release however?
About the game itself tho:
Anyone else hoping we might get a Master Quest and/or Boss Rush mode in this one?
I think Boss rush is a given considering how easy it is to implement, but Master Quest would take some work as unlike OOT, MM hasn't had one before so they'd have to redo the dungeons almost from scratch…
It'd be more work but I'd LOVE it!

Actual NA boxart is same as EU one
That Spirit Tracks box art is so much better than the NA one, god damn
Oh man, boss rush. Battling Goht over and over (always had to reset time and beat temple to unfreeze Snowhead to get items) is already a treat.
Great to see the NA cover art!
PLEASANTLY surprised that we seem to be getting actual box art here for a change without that Gold (sometimes Silver) Tint/Texture.
This is one time I'm glad to be wrong.
Now let's just hope that's not a fan-made mockup or an official but tentative cover NOA will change later lol.

It's from Amazon so I imagine it's not a mockup
Awesome.
Now we just need confirmation of the premium pack and we can get the hype train going at full speed
I'm seriously interested in getting a 3DS now, lol
Pokemon is nice and all, but that never motivated me enough, especially with the little gaming I do lately
but goddamn I always love me some Majoras Mask

Must've been because I mistook the darkened gold for a sepia like color.
@Purple:
Awesome.

So okay for a "niche" title like Bayonetta 2, I guess I can understand them shrugging off a special edition stateside. But for one of the most acclaimed games of all time? Yeah, no…

Very true, but just having the confirmation actually out in the open would be super duper.
Don't get me wrong, I'm as anxious and worried as you :/
Nintendo UK website listing for the Special Edition of Majora's Mask 3D says it's coming June 30th.
Apparently, some people saw that it said February 15th until recently when it changed.

June 30th is probably a placeholder for Q2 2015? I dunno. They officially said spring, right? Technically June 30 is no longer spring, and February 15 is still winter. <_<
Like Foolio says. June 30 is a placeholder they use often for Q2, much like a lot of Q4 titles "release" in December 31st. I wouldn't see anything meaningful in it, it's just the retailers being safe and conservative with the little information they have.
