There's no way Nintendo is releasing ports of TP and WW together as a bundle. To me that is completely inconsistent with what they have been doing it during the Switch generation. The only exception to this was Mario but that was an anniversary thing, and it was a limited release. If these ports even exist they will release at 60 bucks each. I'm also still hopeful that BOTW 2 is the March 2023 game.
Wind Waker HD is currently 25 euro on the Wii U eShop because of the selects program, Twlight Princess HD is 45 euro for me. They're coming out together qnd they're coming in at 60. BOTW2 will probably not be the March 2023 game, it's going to be a little further out in the Spring.

Tropical Freeze was also $20 as a Nintendo Select, and Nintendo yanked it from the storefront entirely and priced the port at $60. The previous price points are irrelevant to what the Switch price will be.

Yeah but going by Grubbs words those games are coming in one package, or releasing at the same time and even Nintendo knows it's not going to go well releasing two 60 dollar games at the same time. Even moreso by the so called argument that they're releasing "too close to BOTW2", it's just not happening at two separate 60 dollar releases. It's going to be a 60 dollar bundle.
 


This is what Nate's next podcast will be about. Probably decided to record one quickly because no one will care about either topic in a week or two (I kid, I kid).
 
Yeah early September is still possible. IIRC Nate said he is thinking of recording after a Direct is announced

I am still on Team September 1!
Probably smart as to avoid the possibility of it being a Partner and having to cut out First Party stuff again

Never said it wouldn’t be, just that you can’t use the Wii U pricing as evidence for it. Grubb is really the only thing pointing towards a bundle.

The Legend of Zelda: Smoke that Shit

Releases on 4/20
 
Tbh as silly as it is…I won’t mind if WW/TP come separately because the cover arts they produced for the HD remasters on Wii U were immaculate. Like, holy shit.
That's an excellent point, those pieces of cover art are :chefskiss:.

Even though I plan to replay it on my steam deck, I would for sure buy a switch port if the deus ex games
Never understood why that hasn't happened yet either; you'd figure SE would use it as an opportunity to gauge the potential of other core franchises beyond 2D/2D-HD titles when minimal work is required for a Wii U port. If successful, then Mankind Divided would also inevitably find its way to Switch later on.

Now that Deus Ex is under Embracer Group, it might actually happen!
 
God please let the Zelda HD Remasters coming to Switch be a real thing that gets announced at a September General Direct. Thanks! Lol.
 
One question though, how will they advertise Amiibo functionality on the box for WWHD/TPHD? Only TPHD has it, so maybe it's like "only available for the Twilight Princess game"?

And you just know a double pack would compromise them.

Do this, but only charge $60.
 
Can't wait for Wind Waker and Twilight Princess re-releases so I can play Wind Waker once again and keep ignoring Twilight Princess, the worst 3D Zelda.

I know it's a beloved game and many would disagree with me, and that's fine

If WWHD is really coming I cant wait. Ive been holding off trying it out before it comes to Switch lol. Dont have a Wii U, cant emulate it well on my computer, also not sure about playing the original

TF was a rather new game, it was its first port just 2 or 3 years later (not shure, to lazy to look up)
WW and TP where already ported and are games that are about 20 years old by now.
Even the time between the ports and now is longer then between TF and the port i think.

I could see them either costing 40$/€ each, or 60 together.
SS was newer (not GC) and had the treatment the 2 already got on the Wii U (remastering).
Even if they increase framerate on both, they wont do much with the actual graphics.

No. We record early and then publish once it's confirmed. No reason to air predictions before the Direct is confirmed. We always record before it's officially announced.
Thanks for clarifying! Not next week and prob not the week after it is then
 
Who says they haven’t recorded the episode yet. I think he chose his words wisely to not divulge the Direct date. That’s how I see it anyway.
@NateDrake usually announces when MVG and himself will record an episode, I believe they tend to do that for Direct predictions as well

Right, and it's not like you need to grab a megaphone and let us know the minute you've recorded those predictions. I'm just happy a September presentation is scheduled while I continue slowly making my way through Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Have you had a chance to pick up the game?
 
Goddamnit I'm sorry for the tag Nate

Thats it Im logging off, ill pop back in when something may happens

I am very intrigued to hear Nate's and MVG's thoughts on the PS5 price hike
 
10 Ips id like if got ported: Metal Gear, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, GTA, Dead Space, Planet Coaster, SOMA, American Truck Simulator/Euro Truck Simulator,Call of Duty, Destiny.
