Star Fox Review Roundup: Is This Switch 2 Remake Worth It? Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

The reviews are in for Star Fox on Nintendo Switch 2, and critics are praising its incredible visuals, responsive controls, expanded story, voice acting, challenge modes, and online multiplayer. Nintendo Life awarded it a 9 out of 10, while The Verge called it the Switch 2’s most impressive visual showcase yet.

However, not everyone is completely sold. The biggest criticism is that this is still another retelling of Star Fox 64, with an arcade-style campaign built around short playthroughs, alternate routes, high scores, and repetition.

Tonight, we’re breaking down the Star Fox reviews, the biggest compliments and complaints, and whether this is the comeback the franchise desperately needed.

Is the Ocarina of Time Remake a 1:1 Recreation? Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

New details surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake suggest Nintendo may be creating a faithful recreation of the original game rather than completely reimagining it.

Tonight, we discuss what a potential 1:1 remake could mean, which elements Nintendo should modernize, and whether Ocarina of Time needs major gameplay changes at all.

We’ll also cover the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and updates on tonight’s Nintendo PowerCast.

What do you want from the Ocarina of Time remake: a faithful recreation or a complete reimagining?

#Zelda #OcarinaOfTime #NintendoSwitch2 #Nintendo

The available wording points toward updated visuals and designs while preserving the original game’s “timeless gameplay,” but Nintendo has not officially confirmed that it will be a literal 1:1 remake.
