People also listen to the same music, read the same books, watch the same movies, tv shows, etc etc. What makes video games any different?
The games in question have already been remade. Your argument doesn't hold because I'm not saying you cannot enjoy media more than once, but that OoT and MM don't need remakes for switch, they've been remastered for the 3DS.

When I click the link on the first page I end up on a page with games like yoshi switch, kirby, Redout, metroid prime 4 and so on. Did I miss something?
you just reminded me this was supposed to come out. this and Steep are games that are probably canceled at this point

People who are begging for a double pack of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess need to take a step back and ask themselves why Nintendo would take two Wii U games which sold very well separately (WW is in top 10 best selling Wii U games and TP in top 20), which are huge single player titles, and which were both released within the last four years, and just sell them as a bundle. Especially with the amazing reception for BOTW, Zelda is at peak popularity and a bundle would be totally unnecessary in order to sell those games. To quote many people on here: "It just doesn't make business sense!" "Do they hate money?!"

I'm very curious to see what gets announced. I'm on a bit of a downer about upcoming Switch titles, as the Yoshi and Kirby games seem like they'll be typically shallow (made all the worse by how gorgeous they look), so just one big title to look forward to would make me very happy. But I really don't think we're going to get a whole year of amazing releases revealed now.

Soul Caliber would be interesting but unsurprising.

Devil May Cry exclusive for Switch... I would be surprised.

It probably will happen just for the meltdowns XD
Itsuno did mention a "climax" when referencing his current project. Given that a director has yet to be named, maybe Bayonetta 3 is really an Itsuno-helmed Switch-exclusive Bayonetta X DMC collaboration.

DMC5 is vaporware confirmed.

The big question of this direct I feel is whether we'll finally hear about the Switch's online platform and the fate of the VC.

Excuse me for my misinterpretation then. I agree, i'd rather see a phantom hourglass/spirit tracks remake.

Why do people always talk about Virtual Console as if it was a specific service? It was literally just the brand name that Nintendo used to identify their legacy games, which were sold in exactly the same way as all their other eshop games. It was exactly the same as what Sony did with PS1 games on the Vita etc. I'd love to see old Nintendo games on the Switch, but I don't care about whether or not those games are part of Virtual Console branding, and at this point I'm thinking that Nintendo have ditched that branding (it's very Wii-era). I'm sure they'll release lots of their old games on Switch, but don't get too hung up over 'the Virtual Console' as if it was a tangible thing.

I knew it was scheduled for the 11th.

Though I've been on vacation for awhile, so dunno if any of the timing has changed because I've been out of the game for a bit and haven't bothered to talk to anyone about it ::shrug::

John, tell us- will this be an extremely big Direct or a ridiculously big Direct?

Those are your two choices.

This was $99.99 at launch:

With the Gamecube adapter becoming compatible with Switch, I could see it making a return.

Can't wait for The Wonderful 102, where the extra one is Dante from the Devil May Cry series, featuring bonus original The Wonderful 101 Switch port (download code only). At the end of the game the entire planet turns into a giant robot, and then a hundred more giant planet robots join together to form a Megazord, and then that Megazord suplexes a supermassive black hole while you mash the shit out of a 'SUPLEX THE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE' QTE.
