When James's father died, he did what any of us would do in the throes of grief: he sought comfort. He went looking for it in the expected places – friends, family – but he found it somewhere unexpected: in the video game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. "Dad had always loved games. He gave me his NES when he got the SNES, and my formative memories were playing Mario Kart 64 with him, my uncle, and my little sister. Shortly after my father passed, the Wii added some N64 games to its catalogue that I had loved to play growing up, and that started the journey I needed to take to forgive him," says James. "I had felt abandoned by him – when I was right at the shifting point of puberty, about to learn how to drive, he just wasn't there. "Majora's Mask was always one of my favourites; I had the strategy guide and would read it to my dad in the truck when I would go with him to work during the summer.

Halloween might be over, but the scary memories last a lifetime, at least for me. I do not like horror. I am one of the world's biggest wusses, and feeding my imagination with nightmare fuel will keep me up at night for weeks. I was recently so disturbed by a simple bus advert for the movie Smile that I read the Wikipedia summary of the plot, and just that was enough to screw with my sleep. My partner, meanwhile, cannot get enough of disgusting films and terrifying games, so he's delighted to be living through something of a golden age for video game horror.

Nintendo Switch has revealed the release date of "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" along with a new trailer in celebration of its official rollout. Japanese gaming giant Nintendo announced last month that "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" is scheduled to launch in its hybrid console as part of the Switch Online expansion pass service. The announcement hyped fans but it did not come with a definitive release date. Nintendo announced Friday that "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" is coming as one of its N64 games on its premium online service on Feb. 25. As part of the announcement, the Japanese gaming giant has also released a new trailer for the game. It's a race to stop the moon and save the world!

Nintendo is adding The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask to the Switch Online Expansion Pack lineup on February 25th. The classic title was first released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000, was the second Zelda game to feature 3D graphics and became one of the best-selling games at the time. It also received critical acclaim for its gameplay, writing and visuals that showed an improvement from its predecessor, Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask picks up from where Ocarina of Time left off, with Link finding himself in a parallel world to Hyrule called Termina. There, he learns that the mask is being used to summon the moon and destroy the world within three days. Link is dragged into the world of Termina, where the moon is falling from the sky!

Soon after adding Banjo-Kazooie to Switch Online's Expansion Pack, Nintendo is preparing to bring another classic game to the service. In February, The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask will join the lineup. Save Termina before it's met with a terrible fate! It'll be interesting to see whether Nintendo has resolved the emulation issues many players had with Ocarina of Time, the predecessor to Majora's Mask, on Switch. Majora's Mask is one of the most highly regarded Zelda games, so it'd be disappointing if the full experience of the N64 title isn't properly replicated on the handheld console. Nintendo announced Expansion Pack, a higher tier of Switch Online that includes Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games, back in September.

It was the company's last cartridge-based home console before the switch to optical discs and it introduced players to the joys of awkwardly-placed joysticks. And of course there were the games: the jump to a 64-bit CPU meant you could now experience the worlds of Hyrule and the Mushroom Kingdom in glorious 3D. However, while Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and GoldenEye 007 might be the go-to titles when talking about the Nintendo 64, the tastes of the Engadget crew run a little more off the beaten path, as evidenced by the memories our staff shared below. If there's one Nintendo 64 title I wish would make a comeback on the Switch, it's Diddy Kong Racing. I spent hours of my childhood on this game and, to this day, it's the one title that gets me to dust off my Jungle Green N64 and sit too close to the TV.

Its grimacing, red-eyed stare looms large in the memory, summoning anxious recollections of hours spent watching its terrifying visage inch ever closer to the earth, of time slipping away. Sequel to the groundbreaking The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, it was released in April 2000, only 16 months after Ocarina's initial release. Much has been written about the motivations behind the game's unusually speedy development, not all of it in agreement, but an interesting consequence of this abbreviated production is that instead of producing new 3D models for the game, the developers reused the game engine and graphics from Ocarina. This gives Majora's Mask an uncanny mirror-world quality that enhances its themes of isolation, identity and transformation. After saving Hyrule from Ganon's destruction, Link, the hero of time, has crept away in search of the fairy Navi.

There are essentially three tiers of announcements that we can think about going into E3 press conferences. There are the confirmed games: games like Fallout 76, Super Smash Bros. and Assassin's Creed Odyssey. These games get teasers before E3 even starts and anchor their respective press conferences. Then there are the heavily rumored titles: games like Cyberpunk 2077 or something like Halo 6. No, these aren't confirmed, but they're expected nonetheless, usually with plenty of evidence and rumors to suggest their appearance. And then there are those hail mary titles, those "wouldn't it be incredible if they showed us" games. These usually don't happen, but sometimes they do.

Who remembers their first video game console? Do you remember the first game you had on that system and your favorite levels to play through on those titles? NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 3: A person dressed as the Nintendo character Mario waves at a pop-up Nintendo venue in Madison Square Park, March 3, 2017 in New York City. The Nintendo Switch console goes on sale today and retails for 300 dollars.
