Best Buy to do old school midnight launch for Ocarina of Time remake

emigre · 2026-10-09T12:11:33+0100

Going to a shop at midnight for a game?

I'm too old for that shit. I'm in bed by 10 with a book or streaming something to watch.

MORTAL MONDAY!

Impressive. The number of preorders must be remarkably high to keep the store open until that time.

It would have been joke if the game won game of the year. Meanwhile all the gooners waiting for gta6 for ages xD

Best Buy can have my money again when they decide to bring back the Gamer's Club program (Spoiler: They never ever will).

Obligatory:

Halo 3 – The Midnight Launch

Midnight launches died just before my time so I never really got to participate. I don't know if this is the game I want to make my first experience but it may be my last

They're going back to camping overnight outside of the store, just like the old days. Hilarious and nostalgic at the same time.

so . . . the switch 2 really is just for boomers who were kids during the n64 era ?
Star fox remake, zelda remake, rumors of mario 64 remake.

did roblox, fortnite, etc really sweep the kids ?

Midnight? That's a pass for me. That's when the best hookers are out for business.

I remember doing this back in the day with Halo 2, went home finished the game and went straight to sleep, couldn't recall finishing it the day after or what happened in the story. Good times, glad to see they're bringing it back.

These people are all scalpers snatching up the limited edition consoles, right?
When I was a kid, I actually thought they were gamers.

Too bad Best Buy isn't bypassing the $10 physical tax like Walmart and Amazon.

Exnor · 2026-10-09T19:19:54+0100

Oh and $$ony says physical is dead.

K3Nv4 · 2026-10-09T19:21:00+0100

I'll give it to best buy by being able to keep doors open for so long.

Skv0ra · 2026-10-09T22:08:08+0100

But will it be a proper card or a game code on a piece of plastic, because might as well pre-load at home and avoid hauling to wherever Best Buys still exist.

Halo 3 midnight launch was THE gaming lifetime of an event.
