Hey listen! I don’t know how to feel about this look. I’m happy about the Remake, because it will be realized in full 3D, without the early technical limitations of Nintendo 64. But I guess we need to see this in action in the game, rather than this quick few seconds at non gameplay sequence. Will this be a re-imagining like Final Fantasy 7 Remake was? Sure the overworld map will be more interesting this time without loading screens in between the areas, with the lessons learned from Breath of the Wild. More than the graphics update, I’m very curious about the gameplay changes and how the world will be layed out. And the soundtrack off course. How far will Nintendo diverge from the original?

BTW I won’t buy a Switch 2, so will miss out on this unfortunately.

Edit: As a reminder, the original game got unofficially decompiled and ported to PC (you have to provide a Rom file for the assets), with possible enhancements while staying true to the original game: https://www.shipofharkinian.com/

    I bought a Switch, which for a long time I call “My $500 Zelda machine”, as I really only played Breath of the Wild on it.

    Now with Factorio and the classic N64 library, I feel better about buying it.

    There isn’t anything technically speaking about the Switch 2 I want, as I just got a PS5 and it blows that out of the water.

    Shame this isn’t on switch, I’d have liked to play it

      I will not buy a Switch 2, especially for these prices. I wonder what the reason for Switch 2 exclusivity is. Either it is just to have a reason for people to buy the system, or it is truly technical, in which case the ambitions might be even bigger than we think.

          I want to say the OLED peaked at USD$350, what countries dollar were you speaking of?

            $300 something for the system, $60 for the game, not sure how much a pair of pro controllers cost, but I walked out spending close enough to $500 for the point to stand.

            US dollars, don’t remember what year I bought it. I’m guessing around 2018, it was shortly after breath of the wild released.
