Everything announced during Nintendo Direct

Engadget

After a Zelda-focused Nintendo Direct on Tuesday -- where we got an in-depth look at the Ocarina of Time remake and news of a Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch 2 -- a second stream gave us a peek at what else is in store from the company and its partners. Wednesday's Direct was mainly about games that are coming to Switch 2 this winter, but it also included titles for Switch and others that are further out. The Direct got underway with news of a Monster Hunter Wilds port for Switch 2. It's coming to the console on December 4. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is confirmed for the system as well. The third part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy will hit Switch 2 on April 8, 2027, the same day it arrives on other platforms. You can get warmed up for that with Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion -- a prequel to Final Fantasy 7 -- which is out on Switch 2 today.

Engadget

Rockstar's GTA 6 might be most highly anticipated game of 2026, but a remake of arguably the greatest video game of all time is a pretty big deal too. We now know that the Switch 2 glow-up of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will arrive on November 5. The release date was revealed at the end of a lengthy segment in today's Zelda-focused Nintendo Direct. We've known a new version of Ocarina of Time was coming since June, but we didn't see any gameplay in the initial reveal. Nintendo also chose to announce it without telling us about the scope of the remake or whether it would tweak or add to the beloved N64 original (already remade once for the Nintendo 3DS) in any meaningful way, giving fans the whole summer to speculate and daydream.

The pros and cons of the switch to digital games

Engadget

Your library going digital comes with real perks. One of the most immediate is not having to switch discs or cartridges to play different titles. It's annoying to get up and swap the disc between your current single-player adventure and a multiplayer shooter you play with friends, for instance. And carrying cartridges around with your Switch 2 adds extra bulk to your suitcase or backpack. Similarly, a lack of physical media means your collection doesn't take up space on your shelf.
