It would be a stupid thing to do so. Even if GTA VI does not compete within the Switch 2's ecosystem, they do compete in attention and word of mouth.

You really think a full remake of among the most beloved games of all time from among the most esteemed and well-known studios in the industry wouldn’t break through the noise of GTAVI? Perhaps it could muffle the WoM, but I’d guess it would create an opposite effect of exposing the GTAVI crowd to the incoming OoT remake. Only time will tell though.

Yes, I do. OoT might have the "best game of all time" monicker, but in terms of sales potential (and thus players and discussions active) it's dwarfed by GTA, let alone a game with such unprecedented hype behind it.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Yeah I’m changing my bet.



I can see people playing both, but the reasons for purchasing either game vary a lot, in fact so much so that they will not compete for public most of the time (of the decision making, to actually invest the money, I mean). Plus, the scope of sales for GTA are massive, way larger than what Nintendo alone can do, even if OoT Remake gets a BotW sort of sales push (gigantic, but not enough to compete with the juggernaut that will be GTA6). So I vote no, since it would risk the one big release the Switch will probably get this year in favor of what: a possible gamble? It does not make sense to me.



anyone else feel underwhelmed that the two biggest releases of the year are just another gta game and a 30 year old remake?

Yep that is correct



I still think they should be delivering the goods with zelda before making a remake like this. I would at least like to know the next zelda is going to look just like this and is going to be a bit more traditional. It can still be open world which i think would be great, but still with limits and a bit more structure. And with a focus on crazy monsters and bosses. That should have been a priority ever before this game had even been a thought. Who knows what theyre up to though. We will probably see a few more remakes and rereleases before this game ever sees the light of day
