Did I mention I write books? 😉
Made a little intro post on my Instagram (that and my FB page are my main channels for talking book stuff), so if anyone is even vaguely curious to learn more about me, my books, etc, please check it out

For example, you could be hired to restore the fortunes of a struggling island colony like Resthaven while trying to prevent a cataclysm!

Stunning visuals = what we saw (which did look stunning)
Updated designs = Link's clothes are different
Timeless gameplay = *Exactly* the same game as it was in 1998...
...yes, of course I'm still getting it

Nintendo says The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake has “stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay”
"The Nintendo 64 classic returns for a new generation in 2026, reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2!"

I've had a thought... What if Next Level Games is making the Ocarina Remake?
The studios has a new title every 3-4 years, last one was 2022 (Mario Strikers) so we're due. We were all hoping for Luigi's Mansion 4 but if they are making Ocarina, does that mean no LM4 until 2029?😭

Don't tease me like this. A Hero of Time Remake Trilogy, culminating in a brand new game built with the same tech and the same design ethos as classic 3D Zeldas, would be perfect!
I'll be deadass. They really could make a Hero of Time Remake Trilogy out of this.
- Ocarina of Time Remake
- Majora's Mask Remake
And then the third game would explore the unknown areas of what he went through afterwards.
Nintendo CAN do this and I seriously hope it happens

Played the Star Fox demo last night. Can feel my willpower not to buy a £40 remake (cos I have the original on both 3DS and NSO) breaking faster than Falco's G-Diffuser

Guessing the narrator is the Great Deku Tree. I always imagined him having a deeper, more Ian McKellan-ish voice

Feels like folks are expecting the Ocarina remake to be i the vein of those UE5 fan projects, or souped up like Star Fox. Would love to see the reaction if it's instead built with the BOTW/TOTK engine and assets!

Providing IO is still developing them, I'm fine with this
Amazon's GM of gaming says any future James Bond 007 games would "theoretically" be published by Amazon Game Studios, not IO Interactive.
