Before the Switch 2 launched, I was determined to hold out for an Ocarina of Time remake before buying one. Now with the increased hardware cost, I’m less certain, but if they completely overhaul the world and gameplay to feel like a new game (like FFVII Remake levels of redone) I might change my tune.

It's gonna be bad
I feel old having played the originals of all these remakes coming out, and not being excited anymore. Though in this case, I played OoT 3D instead of the original.
I'm sure kids will like it though. That 3DS remake is 15 years old now.
Kids and older people who didn't have Nintendo growing up and missed on these games.
I suppose the great thing about growing up with the original version of this game is that I'm wedded to the original look. No remake will ever interest me because of this. It just looks wrong.
The game is coming out this year, so why didn't they show even the smallest snippet of gameplay? So weird.
There might be a Nintendo Direct specific to this game soon. Remember they did a Star Fox Direct out of nowhere to present that game.
They looooove doing individual directs for their big games these days, I'm certain that's what they'll do for it.
I think the little bit they did show looked... off? I think I would have preferred a Twilight Princess remake.
Plus with next year's Zelda movie they'll do a gameplay/movie trailer wombo combo in like September
My honest reaction (didn't saw the direct, just the videos published later). Edit: some format things.
Love OOT, sitting this one out kinda sucks. But Nintendo is not getting my money.
A month ago, I would have been right there with you. But the Steam Deck RAMpocalypse pricing made me realize that there won't be any new sub-$1000 consoles for a long time. I figured I might as well get a Switch 2 while the price is the lowest it will be in its lifetime so I can play the exclusives that come out on it, because I certainly won't be getting a PS6 or new PC any time soon! The last time I gave Nintendo money was for TotK in May 2023 until I got the Switch 2 last week.

OOT is one of my favorite games of all time. I'd be interested in this if I didn't have to buy a Switch to play it. Forcing people to spend several hundred dollars on a device to play your games is so 1991.
All consoles have exclusives. What do you mean? Some games are even pc exclusive.
I agree that having the possibility to play all games on all consoles/computers would be great but that is not the world we live in. And you are not forced to play everything. Or you could like... Borrow the console and game from a friend just like in 1991.
Nintendo is the exclusivity king though. Sony was releasing their exclusives to PC until recently. Microsoft releases their games on multiple platforms these days. If you want exclusivity to stop, you have to vote with your wallet. Zelda is my all time favorite franchise and I haven't spent a dime on Nintendo in over 8 years because of their BS.
I've been waiting for the next Zelda to buy a switch 2.. but as someone who still has their golden n64 cartridge, I'm not sure this is it
I don't think you should feel obliged to buy NS2.
I skipped the Switch and stuck to 3DS + Steam Deck, and now Switch 2 was a good deal since it covers two console gens.
So you could wait for NS3 in 5 years.
This is actually not a bad advice. I did this with PlayStation, and skipped PS4 (and it was such a good generation!), played what I had on PS3, then Switch and then got a PS5. I am still mostly playing PS4 gen games, so plan to wait for PS6 Pro release, 3-4 years into next generation at least, but it still in the future and plans can change based on the features, price and my affordability.
It's probably getting more of a revamp than Star Fox at least

I play through this game at least once a year. Second favorite game of all time, just behind Majora's Mask. Really looking forward to playing this one.
The club of people who like MM over OoT is super small. Glad to see another member in the wild!

I was a little bummed about a remake instead of a new game announcement, but I just remembered I’ve never played any of the N64 lineup. Put me in the “looking forward to it” group!

I just want a new game in a core franchise.
Like Mario Kart, or Metroid, or Donkey Kong, or Splatoon, or Fire Emblem, or Xenogears, or a Pokemon game BETTER than the core franchise?

Is the switch 2 just the n64dd we never got? When is yoshi story and 1080⁰ dropping does Nintendo even make new games anymore or are they just gonna coast on our nostalgia forever
We got the Yoshi game like last week actually. So basically, yes.
