    Sigh I feel like this has been done to death. When are we getting a TP remake? I would actually consider buying a switch 2 for that.

      The TP recompile on PC, Dusklight, has been a blast. 120fps and 4k textures. Also runs really well on steamdeck.

      I acknowledge that’s nowhere near the same thing as a proper remake, but thought I’d mention it in case you hadn’t heard of it.

        OoT3D isn’t a reskin, it’s a remake. A lot of stuff changed under the hood, which is one reason most OoT speedruns stick to N64.

        Releasing the same game for the third time isn’t done to death?

        We all clowned on Bethesda about it for Skyrim, Nintendo doesn’t deserve any different. Besides which this is an obvious ploy to try and regain control over their game after the decompilation projects.

        I’ll pass. I can continue to play the game just fine, upscaled in 1080p 60FPS like we’ve been doing.

          Bethesda ported Skyrim to 4 successive console generations across 15 years and made a VR version, all of which had very minor enhancements. In that time they made zero other Elder Scrolls games.

          Nintendo made one enhanced port across 28 years, and is now making a remake. In that time they have made countless Zelda games.

          This is not even remotely the same situation.

          The third time in 28 years? Yeah, I don’t think that’s done to death. And Skyrim has never been REMADE, just ported. This isn’t just another reskin, it’s a ground-up remake. The original is a different experience.

          That was just emulation of (an official hack of) the N64 one. I don’t count that any more than the Wii, Wii U, or Switch emulations of it. The 3DS one had actual new graphics.

            It was a version made for the N64DD that got released for the GameCube instead. It’s definitely more like DLC, given it had improved graphics and alternate dungeons, so it’s more than just a re-release.

                Yeah, I was surprised too. It’s a weird concept from the get-go, but I guess the idea was to release an “extended” edition to promote new hardware.

                I guess it’s most similar to what they did with pokemon games. Blue/Red leading to Yellow or Gold/Silver leading to Crystal.

      Just play TP decompiled. It probably beats the HD remaster and is the closest thing to a remake we will get.

        Yeah if I had the right hardware I would, but I don’t have a gaming PC and not looking to buy one any time soon with the state of component pricing.
