Thing is, an Ocarina remake doesn't have to limited to just improving the visuals; there's plenty of room for virtually all its aspects to be improved without sacrificing what makes it great. And honestly, even if it is just a visual and QoL overhaul, that would still hold immense value for millions as it would represent a chance to relive a treasured childhood classic. I wouldn't underestimate just how much power Ocarina holds over a generation of Nintendo gamers.

There's no reason a new Starfox can't be good either, their last attempt was during a vastly different era and the Nintendo of 2015 is not the Nintendo of today, they're in a much better position now.

As for Splatoon, it has enormous cultural power in Japan virtually guaranteeing many millions there, and an effort on par with Nintendo's tentpole single player games would attract many people who prefer playing solo and found prior games too online-oriented. One of the complaints about prior games was that the campaign offerings weren't meaty enough, this would remedy that and thereby appeal to new players.

Sorry for my edits. I believe they keep the original context of all my declarations and just make my ideas easier to understand.

The third game is Pokopia, which is very likely to pass 10m.

Ocarina is one of the most beloved titles in gaming history which will give it a huge boost, and Splatoon's broken the 10m comfortably mark twice before and definitely has the potential to do so again if they can deliver a meaty single player component that hits the high standards of Nintendo's tentpole titles; what it loses by not being multiplayer could be compensated for by bringing in solo players who found prior games too lightweight in that department.

Yoshi and Fire Emblem may be smaller titles, but that's okay, all they need to do is give people some variety and something to play in between the heavy hitters, while satisfying their dedicates fanbases, similar to what say Xenoblade 2 did in 2017 or Pikmin 4 did in 2023.

Altogether, that's not a bad lineup at all, you've got something for cosy game fans, action-adventure fans, shooter fans, platformer fans, Millennial gamers, newer Nintendo fans, plus first party aside you've got the strongest third party catalog a Nintendo system has seen arguably since the SNES.

Who cares what a "leaker' says?

Nate the hate has gotten many things wrong in the past.
For example when he said that Metroid Prime Trilogy HD was releasing in 2021.

Nate like Red Gaming Tech and Moores Law is Dead are "Speculators" they speculate on already established rumors... And thus have a history of incorrect speculations.

It will be an amazing day when people wake up to this garbage.

I think he likely has some sort of source as he's been reliably able to call Nintendo Directs days before they happen for a number of years now, and he even leaked the exact day of Switch 2's reveal. The odds of him just happening to guess all that seem low.

Thing is, no leaker, even if they do have a source, is going to be 100% accurate cos their source may not be high up enough in the industry to know everything.

I would agree that it is best to take all leaks with a grain of salt, but personally I'd put a lot more stock in Nate's word than say Moore's Law is Dead.

And yet. He still gets stuff wrong... Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Making predictions and getting them right is actually relatively easy if you understand a few triggers.

Case in point... On this forum I predicted that NAND and Ram would increase in price a year before it actually happened. How?
Educated guess and seeing market conditions starting to change.

That didn't make me a leaker. That made me a "speculator".

Nate is using a similar tactic, difference with him is that he has specialized in Nintendo platforms, I am specialized in PC hardware.

I find it unlikely that one could guess Direct/reveal dates so consistently based on speculation alone, because there are a LOT of people who try to do this and almost all of them are wrong the majority of the time, yet Nate's hit rate on these remains remarkably high. He's not always right when it comes to leaks, but he's right more often than I'd attribute to luck alone.

I don't think it's that far fetched that he might know somebody who does marketing somewhere and so way gets leads that way, for instance.

I think you are missing the point. - It doesn't matter how accurate a few predictions are.
It's not even about luck. It's about being educated about the subject matter. Aka. Subject matter expert.
Again... A broken clock is right twice a day.

The fact that he has predicted things incorrectly in the past means that he doesn't have a reliable track record.

And yet. He still gets stuff wrong... Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
