Hidden away at the end of Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a very specific reference to a famous quote from a certain Zelda game. Given Ocarina of Time for Switch 2, this almost certainly seems like a major hint about an upcoming remake of Majora's Mask.

The quote references a line spoken by the Happy Mask Salesman in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask after Link just barely escapes the destruction of Termina caused by the moon falling out of the sky.

The original Ocarina of Time on N64 never played the famous main theme of the Zelda series. The 3DS remake fixed that, though. And how beautifully it did.

Steam is by no means a perfect platform and I am a fan of physical game media... ... but when you look at Steam's competition, I have to say there is simply no alternative for PC gaming in my mind. As much as we may not like to admit it, I think it really is Steam or nothing.

Octopath Traveler 0 will be the final game I play on Steam. After that, I'm going to terminate my account & just play everything on my Switch 2 or on the Xbox app. Thanks for the memories, but I've had enough.

This of course does not include certain major third party titles that don't rely on Steam, such as Minecraft, Fortnite, Star Citizen and Iji. But for the rest, Steam is (for better or worse) the only way to go these days.

Ganondorf's greatest appearance was in:
41% Ocarina of Time
26% Wind Waker
22% Tears of the Kingdom
11% DORIYAH!

Personally: Ocarina of Time, but Tears of the Kingdom is an exceedingly close second. The Wind Waker laugh is iconic and cannot be discounted.

The purchase of Minecraft for $2.5 billion in 2014 was one of the biggest bargains in the history of the industry.

$MSFT has considered spinning out Xbox and plans new Halo and Fallout games as part of a broader reset for its gaming business. New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma is planning layoffs and cost cuts while pushing more investment into core franchises like Halo, Fallout and Minecraft.

If you don't trust anything you read on the internet, and someone on the internet tells you not to trust anything you read on the internet, do you trust that person on the internet who's telling you not to trust anything you read on the internet?

If 1990s games weren't better, why do we keep remaking them? If 1990s games WERE better, what do we need to do differently today?

Requests for a Super Mario 64 HD remaster date back to at least 2004 (the DS days). One of the biggest potential reasons it hasn't been done yet? $70 is a lot for a game that can be beaten in 12 hours.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 2 were likely bundled together at $70 for similar reasons - it feels like a much better deal. It's a shame that Super Mario 64 2 never came to light. Of course, Nintendo could change that...

My time machine arrives in late 1999. Bewildered onlookers ask: "You're from 2026?! What Nintendo games are there in the future?" "Oh, they're amazing! We have Star Fox 64... Ocarina of Time... and Donkey Kong 64!" (And that's fine. Because 90s games are the best!)

When you really think about it, distilled down to its elements, Star Fox 64 is basically a scrolling shoot 'em up like Gradius or R-Type. Just in 3D, (mostly) on rails and with talkative allies. These facts are very well disguised by another fact: it's a really good game.

On the subject of pricing: Mario Kart 8 cost $60 in 2014. $60 in 2014 ≈ $84 in 2026. Mario Kart World costs $80. That's $4 less.

The Booster Course Pass DLC for 8 Deluxe was wildly popular. I would be astonished if Nintendo did not do something similar for Mario Kart World. Let's wait and see. It likely won't be free, but it most certainly will be fantastic.

The GameCube had several major issues, landing it in 3rd place behind Xbox and PS2: - 💿 Mini-discs prevented piracy but thwarted developers - 🚀 Relatively weak launch titles - 📉 Industry was already trending away from Nintendo after the N64's sub-par finish - 😭 No Rosalina

As this is the Internet, I am obliged to clarify that the last one is a joke. Perhaps, slightly, somewhat and so forth.
