    Why Most Nintendo Games Aren’t Made by Nintendo Anymore

    Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for tons of exclusive content! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi! It's very interesting when we dig into all the Nintendo Switch 2 games that are published by Nintendo and then realize that they aren't actually developed by Nintendo. We checked, and more than half the games on Switch 2 are actually made by partner studios and not in-house by Nintendo developers. This isn't really a bad thing since the output of games from Nintendo is incredible but it does make us wonder, what ARE the in-house teams working on and when are we going to see something from them? And who the heck is developing the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2? What do you think? Is this an issue for you?

Well the good news is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake for Nintendo Switch 2 is real and we got to see a little teaser of it in the latest Nintendo Direct - but if the game is coming out this year, when will we learn more? We can't wait to see some gameplay and also for Nintendo to announce the actual launch date.

What a fun couple of weeks while we experienced the big June video game announcement season - we've dubbed it fake E3 because it does feel like the spirit of E3 is living on. With showcases from Nintendo (Nintendo Direct), Xbox (Xbox Games Showcase) and Sony (State of Play) and big announcements in Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest stream. We also played so many newly announced games at the Summer Game Fest Play Days. Now that it's all wrapped up, we want to talk about the winners and losers. Who came out on top? What do you think?

We're here a bit earlier this week because we want to dive deep into the latest Nintendo Direct. It was a big general direct and had a lot of information and new news about games upcoming for Nintendo Switch 2, like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and Xenoblade Genesis. As usual, a bunch of information came out after the Direct aired so we want to talk about these new details. We also have to ask ourselves the big question of did this Nintendo Direct do what it needed to do to set up Switch 2 for a successful 2026? We have some questions and we think you might have some questions too! Get get into it!
