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.

I avoided the Switch 2 and opted for an Ally to play PC games. It's tempting to pick one up for this but I just find Nintendos pricing and policies to be really gross and anti-consumer at this point. I'll probably just play the classic version again.
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.
Yes, I agree. I sadly bought the switch 2 in hopes it would be a banger but so far it is just a massive disappointment. I also think exclusives suck but at the same time since it is Nintendo I know they will never ever release any of their stuff to any other format. They are the only ones standing firm on this point.
I also vote with my wallet and believe this is super important and tell others to do the same. But at the same time i guess I am just a sucker Nintendo fanboy since I own pretty much all their consoles.
Ok I'm pretty underwhelmed tbh. It's pretty lame that Nintendos 2 biggest games this year are remakes of games I loved in elementary school.
Having said that.....day 1 purchase for me.
