All I want to know is when we’ll get to see OoT gameplay footage. When do you reckon, Gamescom, TGS?

@NerdyPaul it says in a couple of years and yes rumours are not news which is why this is tagged “rumour.”

@Multivitamin yes good point and agreed. Xbox have been doing that for years haven’t they and it’s always annoyed me.

“X game has had record playing hours” or “engagement levels twice that of its prequel”. All absolutely meaningless drivel to make things sound more successful than they are.

Oh well we should have Nintendo game sales I expect at least until the end of switch 2’s lifespan. Hopefully longer!

Another negative of going all digital, we won’t get sales figures in the future 🥲

This is a really good game with the exception of the super cringe dialogue.

Ubisoft always try to be cool which in itself makes them instantly uncool.

Great racing though and it might sound strange but it has one of the best maps in a game I can remember!

Had no interest in buying or playing this game again but now feel like I should just to support them releasing it on a cart!

What on earth happened to the Prime 2&3 remasters that were ‘supposedly’ finished?

I was convinced we’d get them before 4 but still no sign… maybe they weren’t a thing.

I’d love this especially if it didn’t have those annoying EMMI things in it.

“no-rake-unstepped-on Microsoft”

Love that 🤣

If Xbox offer a disc on helix I’ll get that over ps6, though no doubt they won’t.

If this has a proper SP campaign it could be my first splatoon, kewl!

@TrogdorTheBurninator I totally agree with you and it’s super bad for people like us but honestly I do actually think it’s like that as they are trying to convince kids too.

Does it have the cerebral bore from T2? Still one of my favourite weapons from any game!

Sony need some form of handheld in Japan where they’re being trounced by Nintendo so wouldn’t be surprised if ps6 is a hybrid like switch 2.

I’d be down for that if it doesn’t cost too much.

Sega need to take a few leafs out of Capcom’s book.

@foursider yeah you beat me to it 😂

Yep this sucks. It’s anti consumer cutting off our right to be able to resell. Greed sucks and that’s what this is. My beloved pastime is getting worse.

From the minute I first booted up my n64 and used this controller it felt right alongside Mario 64 which of course it was famously designed around. After a few hours play I felt quite at home with it for any game I played after.

Going back to it now feels quite alien though.

This looks good but luckily my favourite controller of all, the S2 pro controller already works! lol

I mean whenever I’ve filled in an employee survey at work it’s always been anonymous with no name etc.

Surely this would be the same and therefore not a privacy issue?

I can just remember the absolute awe I felt when playing Mario 64 and how sublime and revolutionary it was at the time. It’s sad I’ll never experience that again in gaming but am glad I was there!

It remains my favourite game to this day probably just because of how much it blew me away. A masterpiece from Miyamoto that many tried to imitate but never matched.

Then I got goldeneye and was blown away all over again! Great times.

I’m not sure why anybody would be expecting a reimagining tbh.

DK and S2 pro controller are easy choices for me.

I know NL didn’t rate DK up there with odyssey but I actually preferred it as it was just so fun. Both great though obviously I just think DK is underrated despite it being rated so high!

@StorminNorman ok I think well have to agree to disagree

It definitely makes it harder for scalpers which is great but the flip side is new customers can’t buy as they don’t have the 50 hour gaming history. That was my point no drama.

@StorminNorman I didn’t say it wasn’t selling I said it’s not a good situation for first time buyers.

Where did you see stats showing the breakdown between new and returning customers to back up your claim?

Seems like a really good way to alienate new customers.

The only switch 2 hardware I’d like is the pro controller split in two that can be connected to the S2 console in place of the joycon. Never gonna happen but I can dream.

I can't see this being anywhere near a FF7 style remake and not sure I'd want it to be. Just some QoL changes would be good for my tastes.

Agree with everything Ollie has put here and there's one thing I'd like to see Nintendo use from Ocarina in new Zelda games - magic!

I miss having link being able to cast spells like furore's wind etc. Why did that even get removed?

@LightSpirit yeah definitely. I’ve not played yoshi but from what I’ve seen and heard it doesn’t come close to Astro which is up there with Nintendo’s best in my opinion.

It probably boils more down to Japanese liking handhelds and the bigger switch install base I guess?

Yeah but queens blood is superb, as long as that’s back I’m happy.

While there were a lot of mini games they didn’t bother me at all. Looking forward to Revelation!

Astrobot really deserves to sell more than 100k, come on Japanese gamers!

@ducttape12 the devs are AI

@WhiteTrashGuy haha 64 at the end of odyssey would have been incredible!

Sort of unrelated but I’d really love a Mario 64 remake like this probably more than any other game… Please hear me Nintendo!

Liked the design. Didn’t like the lack of gameplay.

Edit: subtle but brilliant subtitle, kudos!

Loved this on vita but it’s priced a lot higher than I was expecting for some reason thought it’d be 20!

I voted ocarina, murumasa and stellar blade.

Third party was excellent, first party not so. For me anyway.

I don’t understand the limited ocarina showing. I’d understand the tease if it was a new Zelda but we more or less know what to expect with an OoT remake so why not just show it off? Strange decision in my opinion.

On paper it looks good but I can’t quite help but feel a bit disappointed.

Yeah OoT is great but no gameplay for a 2026 release? Watching Switch Sports Resort just made me miss wave race and pilotwings more!

Great to see the third party support which is looking strong especially from capcom though I’ve played or own many of those on PlayStation so aren’t for me.

Luckily there’s a mountain of stuff to play overall, I think my expectations were too high for this one.

@Bizzyb that’s cool as there’s neat nier dlc for fans of automata!

This is indeed a stellar game but won’t be double dipping on switch even if it is tempting!

Can't believe they didn't show gameplay, especially as it has a 2026 release date. Disappointing.

Sadly not interested in this due to the lack of SP but hope it turns out well.

@Teksette yes in my opinion Nintendo repairing the joycon for free was an admission that there was a problem.

Shame they didn’t see fit to be honest and transparent about the whole thing. Would have gone a long way with their fanbase.

Please can we have a new Pushmo Nintendo?

They clearly knew about the problem and I can’t understand why they didn’t try and rectify it with a new design rather than continue to sell the original. Maybe they thought they’d get away with it and like the article states hoped it would lead to more joycon sales which it obviously did.

It would be weird not to have these on Switch for sure. Hopefully they'll be part of the Direct tomorrow, if not that seems a big oversight to me.

@Markatron84 you're right, it's been edited, Xbox was showing 9%.

All is well in the world 😂

@WheresWaveRace no man there's now 3 mentions of Wave Race now I mention also wanting a new one! Or even a remake would do...

@Shmicko that would be 4 purchases from me right there!

Oooh I love it when it's such short notice. Hope it lives up to the other 3 shows!
