It's a news one this week. Pearse and Conor dig into Nintendo's two-day Direct double-header and the latest State of Play, starting with the big one: the Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct and the Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2. Conor is forced to revise his all-time trailer rankings, we debate the new art style (and whether Star Fox's character models deserve the same defence), and lose it a little over the thought of a fully orchestrated soundtrack. Plus: a proper jump button, full camera control, humming into the mic, and why that "Press A to jump" tutorial font has to go.
From Wednesday's Direct, Metroid Ravenous steals the show as a follow-up to Dread, and Samus has never looked cooler. We also get into open-world Kirby, Star Fox's new battle mode, Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6 on Switch 2, the Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 remakes, The Witcher 3 remaster and the return of Professor Layton.
Over on State of Play: Zach Cregger's Resident Evil film, whether the PS5 generation has been a bit of a snooze, and a long, loving deep dive into Final Fantasy VII Revelation. An "open planet", a new job system, transmog, and a Knights of the Round fight that was sent back for being too easy. Conor has never been more excited for a game. Pearse still hasn't finished Rebirth. Something has to give.
Also in this episode: GTA VI at 30fps, Metal Gear Solid 4 memories, Weapons vs Barbarian, and a framed Final Fantasy VII giveaway on the way.
