Again you like to argue and try to word things to where you want them to make sense...

Let me be more clear - Horizon Zero Dawn PS4 version running on PS5, the resolution boost and frames per second boost on PS5 were 100% free updates.

The Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered was a PS5 only game, and it was massively upgraded and a new version all together!
With PS5 upgraded graphics, frames, modes, etc.

People who own Horizon Zero Dawn PS4, got to upgrade to the Remastered PS5 only game for $10.

Get it right and stop trying to reword things, and that goes for the same with Last of Us Part 1, etc.

And the Uncharted Collection was a Remaster and it was also $10...so stop it...

Oh I'm the one who likes to argue here XD

They're upgrade packs, if you want to call them remake remasters or whatever please you who cares. These games offer an upgrade path from previous gen to new gen, and they're not free.

And don't @ me about Xenoblade, that is not a Switch 2 seller either!

So that's it? That's your opinion as a biggest fan? That games give big numbers?
With this mentality the first game would have never made it to the west.
What a great fan you are lol.

Again I won't support this company going forward, until they build real hardware and decide to compete again!

Ah yes, I'm sure a "biggest fan" who owned every single game on the Wii - which implies many 3rd party games that were definitely performing worse on this platform - would definitely care more about specs than having the games make it to the platform.

Holy Whinge whinge whinge
I cant quote your posts because you deleted them because you cant stand to be debated in a public forum about how bad your arguments are, Pretty much everything you said is basically Biased Copium from someone who hasnt been in the Nintendo Sphere since the Wii U days

I liked the Direct, the Xenoblade stuff is cool, my only real complaint is the lack of a main line Mario game for his 40th anniversary. Hopefully the OOT remake is an actual remake. Also, I'm surprised about the lack of Persona 4 remake, and Persona 6 Switch 2 announcements.

The Ocarina of Time remake is the one thing I'll play. Everything else I either don't have time for or have no interest in.

Im sure to be downvoted for this.

I was hoping to see better VR accessories, or at the very least, the ability to link your Switch to an Oculus Quest or similar standalone VR headset. And while the Switch2 does VR, it only does it with cardboard VR or the Virtual Boy, which only runs 30 year old monocrome VR games. So where Nintendo could provide quality VR, they only offer you shit VR.

When you spend 10 minutes playing Mario Kart 7 on the Quest, even with the bugs and low resolution, its fun to play.

This remake > SoH no questions asked, even with mods and textures. The fan made game is never going to see completion.

But I am surprised Nintendo didn't port TPHD and WWHD given how they love porting/milking the same games.

Hot take after literally only seeing seconds of it.
I'm not as optimistic with Nintendo remakes/remasters as I've been in their 3DS era.
But even while you might be right regarding textures, you're probably not with mods since that could enable theoretically everything including co-op multiplayer and what not.

Also I don't wanna sound like "a nostalgic grandpa" but while the Link's Awakening remake on the Switch was cute and had it's own charme, I was fine with playing through it once but don't see any reason to ever do so again. At the same time I wanna revisit the original on the Game Boy (or at least the GBC DX version) every now and then so do I consider the Switch remake the better game? Honestly, I don't.

It's not. It's the work of one guy and many of his videos are many years old at this point. Still they do look better (especially in terms of character models and lighting as the few seconds we saw in the teaser trailer.
But it's too early to tell.

even his latest videos look much MUCH worse than the tiny snippet weve seen from the remake. in every. single. aspect.

I don't see a reason to downvote for asking additional features!

AR glasses can "play" the switch 1 & 2, and some of them have internal features to simulate a 3D mode.
I got myself a Xreal 1S + Viture dock for switch and it works fairly well.

Hope OoT is not JUST a Remake.
Also hope it's NOT OoT + Master Quest...

I expect new Dungeons, new Mechanics, new Items... but with traditional formula.

OoT deserves it, and us, "veteran" Nintendo fans, who grew up alongside these franchises deserve a better remake justification beyond "Look! Looks Modern" and or "It's because we're making a Zelda Movie".

...

"The Legend of Zelda - The Movie. The Game"

You're the minority. Reason being, what you're describing is exactly why remakes of games, movies, & tv shows fail. They aren't faithful to the originals. Majority want the original game but with modern graphics.

Would not be surprised if the remake is just as trashy as the Zelda games on Switch 1. Also, why would anyone continue supporting Nintendo when they are so anti consumer? They knew joycons had hardware defects, still released them. They are only releasing Switch 2 revision with easily replaceable battery in the EU because the government mandates it. Switch 2 should've released with an easy replaceable battery. Why support a company that makes you pay more for hardware, just so they can sell that same hardware to their own people for a cheaper price? Nintendo is trash & needs to go the way of Atari/Sega.

I agree with you, for the most part. A lot of people do want the original games with modern graphics, but can also at the same time expect a little extra on top to really sell one on playing the remake over the original. Especially if the original is still legally available in some form (i.e. OoT being past of the NSO Expansion Pass).

One example I can bring to the table here is the 2020 remake of Trials of Mana. When I played the original on my cousin's old emulator collection, it was the fan translated version (since this was long before the localized Collection of Mana port in 2019). I remember the gameplay being relatively simple - albeit clunky - in design and the game itself not being all that difficult (outside of difficulty caused by hardware limitations - Tales of Phantasia was the same way). But I also enjoyed the story of it. At least as much of it as my adolescent brain could, anyway - for it and Phantasia, a lot of the more mature/adult jokes went over my head.

Years later, I played the 2020 remake, and I have to say...it was kinda like falling in love with something I experienced growing up all over again. The story was still there (albeit with differences due to being an official localized script); memorable events and locations were faithfully recreated in a 3D world; and while the combat was still simple, it was imo successfully readapted to more modern standards. The only drawback was the voice acting, but even that wasn't as bad as people claimed it was for the most part, and playing as Duran (plus Reisz and Charlotte) and exploring the world all over again was a blast.

I would've been satisfied with just the faithfully-recreated world/story and gameplay, of course. But the remake also went the extra mile and added some bonuses:

QoL adjustments (ex: additional save slots, item drops instead of chest drops, class strikes no longer defaulting to the strongest based on gauge amount)
a revamped stat/ability system (which actually FIXED some problems the original had, including removing a bugged/useless stat and relocating the spells tied to it)
a sidequest that gave permanent benefits as you progressed through it (shop/inn discounts, expanded Night Market stock, etc)
a postgame with additional story content and a new dungeon
New Game+ and difficulty levels (including one added through a post-launch update that made the game more challenging outside of increased enemy stats)

Suffice it to say, I feel Trials of Mana is an example of a remake done right: a faithful recreation of an old classic, but with a few extra details carefully added in to provide a breath of fresh air for both old fans and newcomers alike. And I feel this is what some of us are hoping for with Ocarina of Time 2026 (much like what Star Fox 2026 seems to be leaning towards with the new story cutscenes, Challenge Mode, and 4v4 Multiplayer).
