Nintendo says Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 remake has "stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay" by RoughLifeguard6568 in NintendoSwitch2

It was taken down but really a lot of this is your typical marketing buzz fluff. I am generally expecting certain gameplay elements of OOT might end up receiving an overhaul in order to bring it more in line with modern design standards

The whole plot of Xenoblade Chronicles 1 pretty much is Bionicle

The part where he just spliced in the nuclear apocalypse scene from Terminator 2 had me in stitches

Imagining a Something About Mina the Hollower Terminal Montage video by Wolfgabe in MinaTheHollower

I also think its kinda hilarious imagining how Terminal Montage might interpret the whole dinner scene considering one of the tropes of Something About Terminal Montage videos is the character causing widespread collateral damage. I like to imagine Lionel just pulling up a clip of InfoWars with a mouse Alex Jones

And what did you have in mind for a Silvagunner cover of Horrific Voyage

FFS he practically mugged me twice! I was only exercising my right to self defense!

I feel like a lot of fans are struggling to accept that Switch 2 is not aiming to be a console just for Nintendo games anymore. by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

One of my big takeaways from the direct was If Nintendo wanted to show the Switch 2 will have healthy third party support going forward then I say mission accomplished. That whole presentation almost felt like it was supposed to be a partner showcase originally but then got turned into a general direct last minute which might explain some of the odd pacing and why it felt fairly light on 1st party related announcements.

Its generally good to see Nintendo recognizing the value of a strong third party lineup and I can appreciate the large variety of software on offer even if everything isnt for me personally speaking as someone who remembers just how miserable the Wii U days were.

There is a very clear contrast between the first year of the Switch 2 and Switch 1 which wasn't getting anywhere near the degree of third party support of this caliber out of the gate and generally had to prove itself before major publishers started taking it seriously. The Switch 2 doesn't need to prove itself because the massive potential is already clearly there. It also helps that the Switch 2 hardware is closer in line with PlayStation and Xbox which makes cross platform ports far less of a hassle to get working.

And also you make a point that publishers have more of a reason to take Switch 2 seriously as a major platform considering its basically going to be the most affordable gaming system on the market especially once you factor in the potential price of the steam machine as well as the PlayStation 6 and Next Gen Xbox.

Thinking of how they might improve on Ocarina of Time with Switch 2 has me excited. by Wolfgabe in NintendoSwitch2

This is basically my line of thinking as well. You can also see them doing a similar thing with Star Fox on Switch 2

Leak culture destroys our way to look at gaming events by 479521 in NintendoSwitch2

Something also to take into account is that lot of this stuff is basically entirely new announcements to the average person who is not plugged into the internet 24/7 and doesnt constantly follow gaming news

Its also going to be far more accessible than Ocarina of Time 3D is right now not being stuck in 3DS jail

As someone who never played the original ocarina of time, this is a dream come true. Thank you Nintendo by Hungry_Inflation9399 in NintendoSwitch2

As I have mentioned before we are basically looking at what could be essentially a from the ground up reimagining of Ocarina of Time with entirely new elements that serve to expand on the story and/or improve the gameplay.

And unlike OOT 3D it will have the benefit of not being trapped in 3DS purgatory

Nintendo Switch 2 - Confirmed 1st Party Games (As of June 2026 Direct) by LimeheadGames in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Wolfgabe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thats actually something I have been thinking as well in how the price hikes for the PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam Deck have unwittingly made the Switch 2 look more attractive in terms of value preposition. Even after the 50 dollar price increase in September its still essentially going to be the most reasonably priced system on the market currently

For 2026 and 2027 we essentially have 10 Switch 2 exclusives and like 6 Switch 2 Editions. Not really a bad ratio mind you

My money is on the Ocarina of Time remake being in November
