Daily Debate: Should Nintendo Develop the Third Oracle Game?
Posted on October 04 2017 by Michaela El-Ters
When Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons were being developed, a third game was also in the works, titled “The Mystical Seed of Courage.” The complexity of creating the three games to link and the hardware limitations that came with that ultimately led to Nintendo cancelling this third installment. But with the Nintendo 3DS being such a viable system for remakes and remasters alike, should “The Mystical Seed of Courage” be revisited?
The story of “The Mystical Seed of Courage” was originally going to feature time travel, a familiar trait that was incorporated into Oracle of Ages. But if the game was given new mechanics, characters, and story points, could it stand on its own? Would that be enough to justify a release in today’s market? What does everyone think? Would you play a new game in the Oracle series?
