Nintendo has made a realistic remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: here are 5 other games it could make next

Nintendo has presented the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Although it was leaked and we were eagerly waiting for it, that hasn’t changed how they were going to present it at Nintendo. We have seen just a few seconds of it, no gameplay, and the only thing we know about the game is that it looks absolutely spectacular. With a more realistic and modern style, similar to the experiments people do when they make Nintendo games in Unreal Engine 5, it seems they wanted to experiment with that approach more typical of other companies.

Nintendo has presented the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Although it was leaked and we were eagerly waiting for it, that did not change how they were going to present it at Nintendo. We have only seen a few seconds of it, no gameplay, and the only thing we know about the game is that it looks absolutely spectacular. With a more realistic and modern style, similar to the experiments that people do when they create Nintendo games in Unreal Engine 5, it seems they wanted to experiment with that approach more typical of other companies.

It shouldn’t surprise us either. Star Fox already does this. And that’s why it’s interesting to think about what other games could have this treatment in the future. Not games that we want to have this treatment, as that would be a different topic, but rather games that we believe would fit with this approach. Whether it’s because of how they fit with this kind of graphics or how they would serve to bring back perhaps forgotten franchises, it would be an excuse for Nintendo to return to certain titles and specific franchises. Although we can’t promise that this would make their fans happy.

F-Zero

One of the franchises that makes the most sense to revive, taking advantage of graphic capabilities to attract the audience, is F-Zero. A franchise born on the SNES and based on pure speed and science fiction that, moreover, today has no competition at all. No futuristic racing games of this kind are being made anymore, let alone with such a marked arcade tone, and even a remake of F-Zero GX with current graphics would be celebrated by its fans and attract the attention of a larger audience. And seeing what they have done with Star Fox, it seems perfectly possible to do it with F-Zero.

Super Mario Sunshine

Although today it seems to be the black sheep of the Super Mario series, upon its release Super Mario Sunshine was tremendously celebrated for the originality of the title and its absolute beauty. The ability to ensure crystal-clear waters, perfectly realistic skies, and a much cleaner world, and above all, less wobbly physics and hitboxes, could make many people realize how excellent this game is. Although it would surely also make all those who already love Super Mario Sunshine hate this hypothetical remake.

Pilotwings

The most controversial title on the list, which never quite achieved a true cult status on either Super Nintendo or Nintendo 64. Pilotwings has never returned —except for Pilotwings Resort on 3DS— perhaps because, even though they were pioneers of 3D, that also took a toll on them: they were still experimenting with the possibilities of 3D. At Nintendo, taking risks with franchises that didn’t work for them in the past is not their style, but perhaps by adding a new, more modern aesthetic and adjusting the controls to current expectations, it would perform better. And there would be more fans of Pilotwings in general.

Punch-Out!!

Probably the game that would need the least changes on paper, but would require the most adjustments in reality. Although a new Punch-Out!! would be very interesting, it would also be a tough sell: it’s a difficult game, with a classic design that wouldn’t excite contemporary audiences. But what if it had modern graphics, an emphasis on different types of moves, a more developed campaign, and perhaps roguelike elements or progression systems? Again, classic Punch-Out!! fans would hate it, but it could have the potential to reach a more general audience.

Nintendogs

This is the game they should make. Many people will disagree, saying it’s not an important game for that, and all those people are wrong. Nintendogs is the perfect game to apply the supposedly more realistic and elaborate graphics they seek in this kind of remakes. They intended it in the original Nintendogs, and the improvement in graphics would only help them. And the idea of taking care of puppies never gets old: there will always be an audience for that kind of game. So, Nintendo, what are you waiting for? It’s an incredibly simple fruit. Even easier to pick than the one from F-Zero.

The director of Final Fantasy VII Remake is clear: young people do not connect with Final Fantasy

At Square Enix, they have a problem: Final Fantasy no longer connects with young people. A franchise historically known for connecting with teenagers and young adults is having trouble reaching its target audience. This is evidenced by the latest data from Circana, which states that 70% of players who bought Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in the United States were over 30 years old. Naoki Hamaguchi, the game’s director, claims to be “very aware of the need to consider how we can expand the potential of the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole for the next generation” and that at Square […]

At Square Enix, they have a problem: Final Fantasy no longer connects with young people. A franchise historically known for connecting with teenagers and young adults is struggling to reach its target audience.

Something that is demonstrated by the latest data from Circana, which states that 70% of players who bought Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in the United States were over 30 years old.

Naoki Hamaguchi, the game director, claims to be “very aware of the need to consider how we can expand the potential of the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole for the next generation” and that at Square Enix, when they finish the trilogy of Final Fantasy VII remakes, they want to “think about that expansion towards new audiences“.

On the other hand, this is not a new occurrence among the important leaders in the company. The director of Final Fantasy XIV and producer of Final Fantasy XVI, Naoki Yoshida, has also said something similar in the past. Stating that “the release intervals have stretched so much that some players simply have not had the chance to connect with the series as veteran fans did,” he believes that one of the reasons younger audiences connected with Final Fantasy was its fast release pace.

The numbers fit and do not add up

The data holds up. Between Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy X, the peak of the franchise’s popularity, seven years passed. Between Final Fantasy XII, XIII, XV, and XVI, seventeen years have passed. A whole lifetime for any child, teenager, or young adult.

For this reason, while it is impossible to prove that this is the cause of the franchise’s lack of popularity among young people, it seems to be a likely cause. Whether Square Enix will intervene on this, making more games faster or in another way, remains to be seen. Especially when Final Fantasy XVI, the latest game in the franchise, is from 2023 and a new installment has not yet been announced.

The trailer for the remake of a famous cult thriller by Scorsese, which was already a remake, is released

The next big bet from Apple TV is Cape Fear. Not just a remake, but the remake of a cult thriller by Martin Scorsese from 1991, which was already a remake of a cult thriller by J. Lee Thompson from 1962, adapting the novel The Executioners by John D. MacDonald. A whole matryoshka of remakes that, despite everything, has only left us with cult works so far.

The Cape of Fear is now even scarier

The new trailer for the series seems to focus even more on the horror than the Scorsese film did, which was famous for bordering on the genre in its tensest moments, while exploiting its very particular story. That of a criminal seeking revenge against the defense attorneys who let him go to prison and, in particular, against his two minor children.

With a careful and very particular selection of shots, an unsettling atmosphere, and a dark color grading, this trailer seems to want to emphasize a much more horror tone than previous versions. Including the parody made by The Simpsons in the second episode of the fifth season, Cape Feare. Something that is aided by the choice of Javier Bardem to play Max Cady, the criminal protagonist and nightmare of the Bowden family, whom he will torment throughout the series. One of the most talented actors to portray an unsettling psychopath willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

With a release date set for June 5, we will have to wait less than a month to see this remake of an absolute classic in theaters. Something that will help us determine whether we need to add another version to a classic or see if, for the first time, they fail in the attempt.

The most ambitious mod for Skyrim to date may not be released until 2027

Skyblivion, the ambitious project by the modding community that aims to recreate the classic video game Oblivion using the Skyrim engine, has been the focus of attention due to its prolonged development that has already surpassed a decade. Initially scheduled for release in late 2025, the team has postponed its launch to sometime in 2026, with possibilities of an extension to 2027, which has raised concerns among its followers.

A highly anticipated remake, but it will cost him

Under the direction of Kyle “Rebelzize,” the project urgently requires the support of experienced modders in specific areas such as user interface development, visual effects, and level design. Rebelzize has called on the community through Nexus Mods, emphasizing that he is only looking for collaborators with advanced skills due to the complexity of the pending work.

The world of Cyrodiil, along with several of its important cities like Skingrad, Chorrol, and Bruma, has advanced considerably; however, the Imperial City and the user interface remain critical points that need attention. Additionally, it has been confirmed that certain elements, such as underwater combat and the spell creation system, have been removed from the initial launch, although they may be available in future updates.

Since its announcement, Skyblivion has faced the additional challenge of the sudden release of Oblivion Remastered, which has raised doubts about the future of the mod. Despite this, the TESRenewal team remains convinced that their approach is different. Skyblivion is presented as a remake that transfers all elements of Oblivion to the Skyrim engine, in contrast to the remaster that retains the original systems with graphical enhancements.

The developers of Skyblivion have stated that they will continue to refine and expand the mod even after its release, promising fixes and additional content. The fan community will need to be patient while the team works to complete this ambitious project.

This iconic character will return to 'Baywatch'

David Chokachi returns to the small screen as Cody Madison in the new series of Baywatch, a project that has made significant progress since its announcement a few months ago. This new installment, which captures the spirit of the iconic series aired from 1989 to 2001, is being developed by Fox, which has already approved a first season of 12 episodes, with filming set to begin in the spring. The lifeguards, old school In this new version, Cody Madison not only continues in his role as a lifeguard but also manages The Shoreline, the community’s iconic bar-grill. In addition to […]

The Watchmen, old school

In this new version, Cody Madison not only continues in his role as a lifeguard, but also manages The Shoreline, the iconic bar-grill of the community. In addition to saving lives, Madison serves as a mentor to the new lifeguards, providing them with unconditional support and, why not, some free wings after a heroic performance.

The return of Chokachi is a sign that Fox may be looking to incorporate other familiar faces from the original series. It is rumored that actors like David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson could participate in the form of cameos, which would undoubtedly add a nostalgic element for the show’s fans. Additionally, there is speculation about the possibility of other former members, such as Carmen Electra and Jason Momoa, also making an appearance.

The series will be directed by McG in its first episode and will feature Matt Nix, known for his work on Burn Notice, as showrunner. The expectations are high, especially after the previous transition of Baywatch to film, where the adaptation did not achieve the necessary box office for a sequel, despite its moderate success. This new project has the opportunity to revitalize the franchise and attract both old fans and a new audience.

France offers us a remake of one of the greatest (or smallest) classics of science fiction

The recent release of the Franco-Belgian version titled The Shrinking Man (L’homme qui rétrécit) has rekindled interest in one of the masterpieces of 1950s science fiction, The Incredible Shrinking Man, which premiered in 1957. This new adaptation tells the story of Paul, a family man who, after experiencing an unusual weather phenomenon, begins to shrink without scientific explanation.

The recent release of the Franco-Belgian version titled The Shrinking Man (L’homme qui rétrécit) has rekindled interest in one of the masterpieces of science fiction from the 1950s, The Incredible Shrinking Man, which premiered in 1957. This new adaptation tells the story of Paul, a family man who, after experiencing an unusual meteorological phenomenon, begins to shrink without scientific explanation. However, this remake has received lukewarm reviews in France and its box office performance has been disappointing, despite a trailer that evokes the excitement of the original classic.

A Shrinking Remake in the Reviews

The Incredible Shrinking Man, directed by Jack Arnold, has become a milestone in modern cinema, influencing contemporary productions such as Marvel’s Ant-Man. The original film addresses, through its dual narrative, the psychological drama of a man who sees his life crumble as he loses his size, followed by a thrilling survival adventure where everyday objects become weapons in a threatening world.

The new version, while trying to pay homage to the original source, faces the challenge of matching the impact and admiration that its predecessor has achieved, which has remained almost seven decades without a remake. It is worth remembering that there had already been an attempt at adaptation in Hollywood, which would involve the participation of the late writer Richard Matheson, planned to incorporate elements of nanotechnology and other modern concepts, but the project could not materialize after his death in 2013.

Fans of the classic can access the 1957 film through Filmin’s catalog, providing an opportunity for new audiences to discover this landmark of science fiction cinema.

Directed by Lee Cronin, the new version of The Mummy promises a chilling twist on the adventures of the past starring Brendan Fraser. This reinterpretation, which focuses more on horror than adventure, brings with it a plot that gives a particular twist to the mummy myth, reinventing it as a missing young woman. The story follows the daughter of a journalist who, after disappearing in the desert, returns eight years later, turning a much-anticipated family reunion into a true nightmare.

A movie shrouded in secrecy

The style of the film evokes the recent production Bring Her Back, in which a mother resorts to forbidden magic to try to resurrect her daughter, suggesting that The Mummy will also explore dark and emotional themes in its narrative. Unlike the 2017 remake starring Tom Cruise, this project does not seek to connect with the previous franchise, establishing itself as the second attempt to reboot The Mummy with a terrifying approach in the last decade.

However, the project has generated controversy. It has been reported that James Wan, a recognized producer in the horror field, supposedly walked out of a preview screening of the film, which has raised eyebrows and generated skepticism among fans and critics of the genre. Some rumors suggest that this discontent may be related to the direction that Cronin has taken in his narrative.

With its premiere scheduled for April 17, viewers will have the opportunity to judge for themselves whether this new installment manages to capture the terror and essence that characterize it. Meanwhile, a close eye will be kept on any additional developments related to this project, which has sparked as much enthusiasm as doubts in the film community.

One of the best anti-war films of all time has entered the public domain

The iconic film All Quiet on the Western Front, released in 1930, has entered the public domain, allowing for free online viewing. This work, directed by Lewis Milestone and considered one of the greatest films in history, can now be found without restrictions on platforms like YouTube, making it accessible to new audiences and promoting its anti-war message in a global context where wars have once again become a hot topic. A classic of anti-war cinema Free access to the film not only allows anyone to watch and share it, but […]

A classic anti-war film

Free access to the film not only allows anyone to watch and share it, but also provides opportunities for writers, educators, and filmmakers to create derivative works. This situation fosters artistic innovation, from new adaptations to educational exercises that reinterpret the important historical material it represents. The release of All Quiet on the Western Front thus presents itself as a victory for art and memory, challenging the limitations of intellectual property capitalism.

While later versions, such as the 1979 TV movie and the 2022 Netflix remake, are still under copyright, the original version resonates with particular intensity today. The narrative tells the heartbreaking experience of young Germans who enlist in World War I, initially filled with ideals of heroism, only to face a brutal and devastating reality. This historical testimony, which emerges on the eve of the rise of European fascism, remains relevant and educational, reminding us of the horrors of war.

With this new public domain status, All Quiet on the Western Front not only becomes an invaluable cultural resource but also promotes a critical dialogue about war and its consequences, as current generations encounter its timeless lessons. In this sense, the film continues its mission to educate and provoke thought in viewers, ensuring that its message endures over time.

Hideo Kojima is undoubtedly one of the most iconic names in the video game industry, primarily known for his work on the Metal Gear Solid series. Although he has taken a new direction with projects like Death Stranding, Konami has decided to keep the legacy of Metal Gear alive through remakes like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater. This remake aims to be a faithful update of the original, preserving the narrative, structure, and voice acting while introducing improvements in gameplay.

He believes the game is perfect just the way it is

The trend of developing remakes in the video game industry is on the rise, driven by the long history of gaming culture and the desire to present classic titles to new generations. Noriaka Okamura, producer of the Metal Gear series, has explained that remakes allow for the reintroduction of old works in a modern context without distorting their essence. This not only aims to preserve the legacy of these titles but also responds to commercial interests, as they mitigate risks by leveraging previously successful titles in an increasingly costly video game production climate.

Okamura argues that a key essence of a successful remake is knowing how to discern which elements should remain unchanged and which should be adapted to capture the interest of contemporary audiences. While some might argue that remakes could lead to a lack of innovation in the industry, he believes that, if developed with a long-term strategy, they can serve as the first step towards new innovations.

In this context, Metal Gear Solid Delta emerges not only as a tribute to a classic, but as a reminder of the importance of remakes in the evolution of the medium and their ability to connect the past with the future of interactive entertainment.

Todd Howard, director and executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, has confirmed that the popularity of the series has attracted more players to previous titles, such as Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, who are looking to return to this post-apocalyptic world. According to Howard, player numbers for Fallout 4 have reached record highs since the premiere of the first season, highlighting the positive impact of the series on the community.

Literally no news at all about Fallout

Despite this renewed interest, Bethesda has a clear plan regarding its upcoming projects. Fallout 5 will be developed once The Elder Scrolls 6 is completed, a release that is not expected before 2033, due to the extensive development times of high-quality games. This waiting period has generated speculation and desires among fans to receive more Fallout content, whether through remasters, remakes, or spin-offs.

Howard, in a recent interview with IGN, avoided confirming or denying remastering projects like Fallout 3, although he mentioned that the surprise launch technique used with Oblivion Remastered has left them satisfied. “I love the moment you find out about the existence of a game,” Howard said, noting his interest in replicating that strategy.

Meanwhile, Fallout 76 will continue to receive new content, and recordings for the third season of the series will begin in 2026, with episodes expected in 2027. The gaming community remains eager for the possibility of more announcements regarding remasters or new installments, while the future of the Fallout saga continues to be a hot topic in the video game industry.
