Guesses which Zelda it is?

My money is on ports, not remakes, of Twilight Princess HD and/or Wind Waker HD. Nintendo has been strategically throwing in Wii U ports to the Switch to pad out release gaps, and given that they’ve made their way through a fair amount of the catalog, it makes sense.

I’d love to have proper OoT and MM remake, but this is Nintendo, so I’m keeping my expectations in check.

I would love A Link to the Past remake.

A LttP remake akin to the Link’s Awakening would be rad… though only if they can manage to make its performance stable lol.

I was trying to remember if they already did one but I was thinking of Link’s Awakening.

Maybe GBC ones?

Nintendo never appealed to me other than when I had a Super Nintendo for SF2 and I did enjoy the console. My older brother had Nintendo consoles and left them all to me when he moved out of the house but even then, I was more SEGA and really getting into the original XBox

Our kids (well now adults) were never into gaming much other than the boy getting into MGS series and becoming a fan of Hideo Kojima games .

I’m not looking to say Nintendo are poor just that I’ve never got why they appeal to so many people . That’s a non issue what I don’t like is how Nintendo get a free pass most of the time.

Had XBox shown off the new Xbox just like how Nintendo showed off the Switch 2. I think we all know Xbox would have been savaged by the press and social media

What if it’s the Breath of the Wild remaster? Apparently there has been a rumor that one was coming.

If true, I wonder what that means for Tears, because if they release a BotW remaster and charge you for it and I’m sure they will, I don’t see them enhancing Tears for free, or at all with some kind of patch. I was talking with someone about this and he said that maybe the Switch 2 can brute force it. But isn’t that only if the games use variable resolution and unlocked framerates? I don’t know if TotK does that.

So basically, Nintendo wants to show how it is done to Sony.

You mean the Bruce forcing part?

I mean doing remaster for games that was just one gen ago.

Oooh, got ya. Yeah, exactly.

Looking back at how Nintendo does things…they won’t do a Xbox, as in free patches for several of their older games. I’d absolutely love to eat crow on that though.

It’s kinda silly if a very old game like BotW is the only one that gets the remaster treatment. But then again, Tears is only two years old or so? I wish a enhanced Tears was a given, but I shall not get my expectations too high.

Enhancement is welcome. But not for a price.

Blops 6 and this year’s CoD as launch titles? Could be a strong start. Wonder what’s new this time.

Those are my guesses since Switch 2 is out this year and the specs suggest it’s equivalent to a PS4, but with better hardware features.

I would also put Indy on the list but it’s a raytracing only game, so I have to wonder how well that would go.

What will Fortnite look like on NS2 with these specs?

Nintendo, more often than not, has good positive press in terms of constant releases, community and pricing. MS releases awesome news then follows it up the next week with layoff or price increase news. People do not enjoy news about acquisitions. Sony isn’t any different.

The news surrounding Sony and MS are generally negative; for Nintendo it is generally positive. That’s why they get a pass from gamers. As for press - who cares what they think.

That’s a grossly reductionist take that glosses over the periods where there’s nothing but a string of good news for Xbox and the media/zeitgeist will stir up FUD out of nowhere. It’s more likely some of this shit is purely bad-faith, fanboyism, and advertising-corruption… you know, like we see in every other industry’s corporate media.

Just little over a month to go for the reveal detail. I hope March will give us Partner Preview and some other stuff to pass over.
