I was surprised to see Stellar Blade on Switch 2 as I thought it was a PS5 exclusive. Probably a Key Card so automatic pass.
 
I’m perfectly fine with a remake for Ocarina of Time. Especially if we see additions like cut content and even Ura being brought back in some capacity. Hell, even a 1:1 remake with updated graphics would be fine, but that’s because my bar is low for this game..
 
yes, thats exacly what we need
more ocarina of time releases.
ocarina on n64, ocarina on 3ds, ocarina for your fridge, ocarina for everything.

Not sure how they expect to get the OoT remake out this year when all they had available to show was a ten second clip of DLSS5 young Link. The Duskbloods teaser was practically a movie in comparison. At least we got a full Fire Emblem trailer, and Kingdom Hearts fans can finally stop going hollow.
 
To burst the bubble, my expectation for the Ocarina of Time remake/reboot/port/romhack... is that it will be sourced from the 3DS remake as the CPU architecture for the Switch & 3DS are the same and allows for easy porting just like what was done with Dark Moon/Mansion 2. (Note: You can transfer your 3DS saves to Switch and it works) That release has Master Quest in it so hard work isn't necessary other then changing input devices. I also expect no quality check based on how Mansion's 2 release on Switch had other Luigi's in Scarescraper having the same laggy stutter from the 3DS release.

This was gonna happen at somepoint for the Direct Showcase, but probably third party devs are still gonna publish to Switch 1 still.

Star Fox 64 HD and now Zelda Ocarina of Time 64 HD seems like Nintendo is going to rely on remaking old games as new than make brand new ones.

Still, I'm very interested in both of those so I'll probably get them.

Well, Star Fox 2026 isn't even developed in-house. Velan Studios is making it.

Some background. Velan Studios was formed on November 2016 by the Bala brothers, who founded Vacarious Visions back in 1991 and departed it in April 2016. Their first title under this new studio was Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.

We don't know if Nintendo is handling the OoT remake. If a 3rd-party is handling it, then Nintendo probably has their own plans moving forward.

Having the different choreography and intro kind of goes against that notion.

Perhaps lucky...I haven't played Ocarina (neither original nor remake). Speaking my theory as I was disappointed with Mansions 2 release being filler releases from Nintendo just like Brothership was where it was given a rating long ago but held in release.

It was decent

In comparison, it was the worst summer direct

I might buy some of the first party games secondhand when the switch 2 gets hacked; splatoon raiders looks like a nice roguelite

A lot of good third party games here too that I’ll play on my Steam deck

DELTARUNE TOMORROW

Minus the Deltarune hype this is my feelings. Sure I might pick up Splatoon in July. Aside from that, most of the games I'll just play on my Steam Deck. 🤷🏾‍♂
 
yet another fucking OOT remake which will just be a port of the 3ds version with nothing new added and the rest either garbage indies or multiplat-ports. i'm missing out on nothing not owning a switch-U! :rofl:
