Ohh, I was wondering why it had mostly been you two lately. Glad everyone's getting some R&R. Hopefully you both are/will too.

Capcom is a wild prediction. I can see the threads you're connecting though. It could be interesting.

Is Grezzo a Spanish group? Or am I thinking of MercurySteam? I'm just wondering - do we pronounce it "Grezzzzzzo" or "Gretso?"

I understand what's been said about why this might be just 1:1. But I still think they're going bigger with this. I'm sure that's colored by my hope, but still. And to be sure, I will most likely love whichever way they go with it. But my preference would be for a big overhaul and all that. The other more faithful remakes we all point to, like Metroid Prime or Star Fox were all pretty transparently revealed. Prime was just a surprise. They told us SF was a remake in the reveal video. And they were both released very soon after. We don't even know when this OoT is coming out, other than this year. And they reeeeeeally teased it. Why leave us hanging like that if they weren't planning to surprise us with something big? Nintendo tries to be very careful about managing expectations. And they know how absolutely revered this game is. Look at all the chatter online, for instance. There will be a collective (and mostly temporary) groan if this turns out to be nothing more than a glow-up. Possible counterarguments are, for one, that Nintendo does and has recently screwed up the expectations management. Whether that was just underestimation or simply a bad call. Another is that I suppose they could just think our minds will all be blown by these completely remade visuals and silky frame rates and mouse controls or something. Sure, they still could be. But I just feel like the signs seem to point to this being a real showstopper. I'd love to see it.

I don't know! Oh.

Wow, awesome about Mermaid Mask! I just realized that I have Tangled Tower, so I should probably give that one a go. I'm early in Bananza, but I see why everyone loved it. It's very fun.

Good call! I hope everyone is very pleased with this control option.

I like turtles.

@PokemonDMG Is there a common thread between the two movies, or are you just setting that as a general bar to clear?

@BrewsterTea I guess I see where you're going with that. I guess if that's the start, then I'd like to see what would be an evolution of that.

Has anyone seen how large the file size is?

Stopped reading when I saw only 96 on scans. #NotARealGamer

Sweet, thank you! It's really cool that we get to try these for the first time and that they are actually pretty good games. I'm still hoping that cardboard sale comes to the US too...

Eh, I have a strict rule about not buying clothes that I can only wear to a wedding.

It's actually crazy seeing this. In a good way.

Hear me out -

For the third one, they should take it to HD- 3 -D. Whaddya think?

@Whirlwound Ew.

They're amazing with this stuff!

Oooh, this is (tragically) exciting!

I think he's playing Kaepora Gaebora.

Micro changes in air density, my ass.

Seems like it could be fun.

I like when a comment gets removed but you can still guess at what they were saying because of everyone else's response to it. XD

Thanks for the review, Mai! Sounds great. Another reason to get this game sooner rather than later!

Apparently, a report from Deadline (as seen by me on GoNintendo) says that this guy signed on for multiple pictures! Are we looking at multiple Zelda films, or do you think they're making an epic, multi-part saga a la LotR?

@DennisReynolds That's not that fun.

@MoldyPasta Ay! Ay. (Hahaha! No offense taken.)

@RareFan Yeah, a WHITE giant pig-like demon! Stay true to the original artist's intentions, I say!

DEI hire. Everyone knows Ganondorf is white in the source material.

;P Jokes, but this probably gets snipped.

Nice price! Hope it's great!

Ay! Ay. Ay. Ay. Ay. Ay. Ay! Ay... (Holy cow! Switch 2 sales are way strong than anything else. Granted, this is just a small slice at the end of July. Looks like Raiders is on its way to 1 million sales, which is great. I wonder if it will sell pretty well like Pokopia, as word-of-mouth builds. And honestly, if Nintendo continues to support it like they have with the mainline games, I feel like the buzz will only grow. Definitely need to get it sometime soon! And throw it on the heap...)

Wait, we're in Q1 2027 now?

@SplatRay001 Okay, thanks. Just wondering.

As my Uncle Petey used to say, "There's a sucker born every minute."

Just kidding.

@VoidofLight In fairness, we just got more (previously unknown) AC content a few months ago, however many years after they said they were done with that. So, you never know.

I keep hearing about this Mario Kart 8 game. Has anyone here played it?

What if Nintendo announces that GTA VI is coming to S2, and they cannibalize the sales of their OWN Zelda game?

How many millions away from PS2 for Switch 1?
They won't have Splatoon Raiders numbers yet, right? Or is that game in the current quarter?

Surprise! We're retiring the Sonic franchise.

Is Chapter 7 supposed to be the last?

@asdfghjklz I guess for the same reason we watch series that don't tell their entire story in one episode or one season. But I get your point.

@Samalik @Lizuka I wonder though if it's relative. Like, it's equivalent to a little over $300K in the USA. That's what it could afford you there. But maybe 50 million yen goes much further in Japan than the 300K in the States.

@Dman10 Tell that to Square Enix.

@ryan_nil Somehow, metroids returned.

Let's take the "meh" out of Metroid!

Never tried Moonlighter. I think I'll give the demo a go.

Psh, Normandy, Gavin? Try Occitania for me.

Wow, wasn't expecting to see CoD on that list. Man, at least half of that list are games I really want to play, myself. Sounds like a good time will be had by all.

@BrandyBongos Oh, great! That's good to know, thank you!
I forgot they made live-action films. Haha. I'll definitely check out the anime, at least.

Set phasers to kill.

Nice of them to put out that message AFTER removing it from the eShop.

@Bunkerneath * unfettered money (two words)

Wow, where to start? Sooooo many problems with this.

Yeah, that's... interesting.

@BrandyBongos @tourjeff Oh, I see. They've really just released these entries once per generation. Although, according to Wikipedia, the plot for 2 covers the same ground as 1 and then some. It sounds like 3 will continue on from where 2 leaves off. I haven't yet watched the series or anything. It's on my list.

@Stormcloudlive A life simulator that has you become Jesus/God? The "zealots" will probably herald it as a brave and necessary learning experience, but I would think The Good Book would consider this to be blasphemy. I assume these comments will be deleted. 😆

@Stormcloudlive What, no demo?!
Surprising that they drop a pretty big spoiler in the screenshots of the eShop page.
No developer is listed. Does that mean it's... God?

@SgtQuint You mean the first screenshot? Literally every other one shows 1 or more whole feet.
