No one compares You stand alone To every record I own Music to my heart That’s what you are A song that goes on and on

  • This is loosely related so forgive me if it’s not helpful.

    The world has been broken up into economic zones for some markets. Using DVDs as my example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code

    Mexico falls into region 4 while the USA and Canada fall into region 1.

    This serves several purposes but I’ll focus on one.

    This allows the publishers to sell DVDs at different prices for different regions. This is to accommodate the different buying power of the average citizen of these regions, without competing with themselves at an international level.

    I suspect why you don’t see Mexico on the tag is a reflection of this concept. You’re not selling the book at an equivalent value and advertising that might cause salty customers that want the less expensive price. Or citizens of that country demanding the alternative price while abroad, complicating things.






  • If you’re familiar with any Zelda game I wouldn’t worry about playing oot first. (But I would still suggest playing it if you enjoy retro games) They tell different stories and happen in different worlds. Majora’s mask does build on mechanics you would have learned in oot but it’s not essential. They do make the occasional reference to oot. (To save dev time they recycled a lot of the assets from oot)

    I’m glad you had fun with Luigi’s mansion. I never got too far playing as a kid. But I had fun playing the new one with a buddy.

    In my opinion, the GameCube version of Majora’s mask was the best one. It’s still a N64 game under the hood but the controls feel nicer and the game runs better.

    Edit: some emulators don’t handle the clock correctly in MM. If you feel like you’re always running out of time or rushing. It may be a bug!

    Also there is a PC port of both oot and mm. But I’ve not tried it
