Quite some time ago, what was once a niche hobby took a giant leap forward, one that would change the medium forever. As gaming hardware became more powerful, a graphical shift took place. Two-dimensional, sprite-based games were largely set aside to make way for full, three-dimensional worlds. ...

Get ready for more Wii-Makes 3DS remakes as downloadable games for the eShop. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto says one can expect more games remade on the 3DS, like perhaps maybe, SNES game The Legends of Zelda: A Link to the Past? He doesn't confirm it, but does sound keen. [via Edge] More »

Shigeru Miyamoto has a habit for developing games that show off the strength of new Nintendo platforms -- and it sounds like he's planning on doing so once again for the 3DS. Speaking to Edge, Miyamoto explained now that Nintendo has finished developing the 3DS hardware, it can "focus more on gaming" in the coming year, adding that we can expect "remakes of games on 3DS as well." When asked for a specific title he'd like to see remade, Miyamoto reached into his own back catalog, answering, "I think A Link To The Past."

Deciding that wasn't enough of a pseudo-sadistic tease, Miyamoto explained some of the functionality he'd like to see in a 3DS Link to the Past remake. "Do you remember Xevious," Miyamoto asked. "It's two-layered and I really wanted to create that at the time. So to see Link To The Past in two layers would be quite attractive for me." Such a remake sounds just perfect for the 3D Classics section of the 3DS eShop -- a storefront which, serendipitously enough, will play host to a renovated version of Xevious itself.
