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

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

Best Buy is opening nearly all of its US stores at midnight on November 5th for the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2. You'll be able to pick up the game the moment it goes on sale amongst hoards of other night dwelling Nintendo fans if that sounds like something you can stomach.

Stores will also have a limited number of the 40th Anniversary Edition Zelda consoles and controllers, but numbers will probably be low so you'll want to arrive early if you stand any chance of picking one up.

Preorders for the game are open but if you've already preordered Best Buy says customers will get an email with the option to switch to in-store pickup if you fancy getting involved.

The remake is a ground up reinterpretation of the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic first announced in the June Nintendo Direct but its art style has divided fans. What's your take on it? Did the extended look sway your opinion?

It is dead. In the PC world it's been dead 15 years.

So what if 20 people show up at Midnight at some Best Buy in Sheboygan to buy a "new" 25 year old game? That doesn't mean Sony was wrong. (Hint: Sony wasn't wrong, which is why they haven't backtracked and even GameSlop said Sony's decision wouldn't affect them one bit because physical is dead.)

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.

It's a Nintendo game. It will be physical. All of Nintendo's own (as in not the games that are made with partners, like Pokemon) on Switch 2 have been physical. Not some, all.

Again, because you dont appear to understand, we are talking about consoles here. NOT the PC ecosystem where you can choose the source of the media(!).

$ony move is out of pure greed, since the PS ecosystem only accepts one source of media, aka, Sony eshop. Is this hard to understand?
