A Big LEAK Dropped for Ocarina of Time Remake!

All right, everyone. Welcome back to this special edition of our news story today. You can tell I'm out in the normal place because I'm out at PAX West, of course. Uh, but hey, I did say we're going to get a couple news videos. That's why I'm here, especially when big news is happening. And before we get into that news, we're giving away a Nintendo Switch, too. We'll be drawing the winner on October 1st. In order to enter, you just got to click on the link down in the pin comment or the description. And uh, guys, the only requirement to enter is to be subscribed to the channel. So, hey, dude. I'm so dedicated and I'm out here doing double time work, baby. Work for packs to bring you guys content while still doing my normal job. All right, guys. We got some big stories. You're going to understand why I couldn't just not cover this stuff. Uh, we have a huge update to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch 2, believe it or not. Very fascinating. People are taking it in certain ways. I don't think they should, but it is interesting because obviously they launched with a brand new Mario Kart game that has yet to get any DLC. Uh, beyond all that, well, Ubisoft's at it again. Um, one of the games they released earlier this year looks like it's coming to Switch, too. And, uh, they continue to be the most leaked company pretty much that I can even think of. Uh, beyond all of that, did you know Nintendo is working on some brand new screen technology, or at least a new screen manufacturer, I should say, which potentially may or may not improve screen quality on Switch 2 moving forward. It also might make no difference at all. We'll talk about that story here. But we have our big story of the day. The headline topic, the cudigra, the oh my god, I can't even believe it. So, next week, guys, you guys know we've been talking about a direct, right? This isn't actually about the direct, but I think this news is because the direct is coming. So, first off, yeah, Nate the Hate is, you know, doing some things related to Zelda's 40th anniversary. We'll talk about that. But what I really wanted to get into here is that a retailer has decided to start listing uh a time up for pre-order and all that, which is probably in anticipation of it coming out or you know the the direct next week or whatever and just getting ahead of the curve. What's interesting though is the information they have on the game appears to reveal what may be the main developer or possibly the only developer for the game. and who's doing it, I think is going to really excite you guys. Again, we got to talk about all avenues of what it might mean and hopefully we have the answer definitively next week from Nintendo. But, uh, oh god, guys, I'm just I'm so excited. Let's go ahead and dive into our very first story here. And as you can see, we are looking at Mario Kart 8 Deluxe version 4.0.0. Uh, this is a sideby-side comparison, but I actually want to read this article because you guys haven't seen the news yet on my channel. So, yesterday, Nintendo surprised Mario Kart fans with a free Switch 2 update for the Switch game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Apart from the ability to race with up to eight participants in local split screen, there's also camera play support, as well as resolution and load time improvements. YouTube channel uh L Analysta Deitz has now shared a sidebyside video comparison showing how the game runs on Switch 2 compared to the Switch. As a recap, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch is a 1080p and docked 720p in handheld and runs at 60 fps with frame rate hald in split screen with three to four players. As for the game on Switch 2, as of version 4.0.0, it's apparently 2160p docked, so 4K and 1080p in handheld at a consistent 60 fps. The frame rate is habd when playing three to four player split screen and the new eight player split screen mode. Split screen mode. Nintendo has also managed to cut seconds from the game's load times while playing on the Switch, too. And yeah, they did some tests of that stuff. It's pretty interesting. As you can see, some of the load time differences here. Uh, I think it's really neat. Uh, the 30 FPS extending to eight players, I think, makes a lot of sense. Uh, and yeah, it's pretty cool. They obviously, you know, put some decent work into this and I think people in general are going to be pretty happy. Now, what I find really interesting about this is the fact that they did all this. Well, Mario Kart World came out on Switch 2, and that seems to be the reason that you would buy a Nintendo Switch 2, right? You want Mario Kart World, not Mario Kart 8. In fact, you probably already own it. But also, if you own it, these features are exclusive to the Switch 2 version of the game. So, having that in mind, it really makes you go, "Huh, maybe if you prefer that one, it's now even better on Switch 2, which gives people who didn't want to get Mario Kart World to buy a Switch a reason to upgrade to Switch 2." I think Nintendo is just doing good things. I don't know how a positive update to an old game is bad. I think people are overreacting on its impact on Mario Kart World or that Mario Kart World's a failure because of this. Look guys, Nintendo does lots of things. These random free updates are exactly the kind of thing I like Nintendo doing during this generation. And I hope they do it to the entire Switch 2 library that they have direct control over. All right, guys. We got to get into our next story. And look, Ubisoft leaking things Switch 2 related. What a shocker. Let's take a look here. So, Manette Advanced Pro, Sandsville 2, Assassin's Creed, Black Resincted, Nintendo Switch 2. What are you looking at here? You're looking at a controller. Oh my gosh, guys. There it is. This is a a Switch 2 third-party controller for Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag Reync, which came out earlier this year, but despite Shadows being on Switch 2, Assassin's Creed Shadows never got announced for Switch 2, which I think shocked a lot of people, but now it appears to be coming. Now, look, Ubisoft is the company that can't keep any secret at this point. We've known this for decades. So, yeah, this is probably legit, like most Ubisoft leaks are. And I suspect, hey, this might be one of those games announced in the Nintendo Direct since it's the only version of the game that needs that kind of announcement. So, I don't know, guys. You can tell me what you think about this down below. I just think, you look, Ubisoft leaking things, Nintendo yada yada yada. What a shocker. I I don't get it. I don't get how this company becomes this way and maintains this way. Why they haven't found a way to lock things down better. Not even EA games leak as much as this. So, what are you gonna do? Uh, next up though, our second to last story. This one's interesting because of what it might mean. Also, it might be not that interesting because it also might not mean a whole lot. Uh, let's go look at Nintendo patents watch here over on Blue Sky who discovered that another parts reseller in China is selling the Sharp assembled Switch 2 LCD panel. Like the last one I saw, the model number is LS0D7081, possibly indicating an engineering sample. These are now surfacing at a faster pace in the marketplace and that is a sign of mass production. Now to note, this is really interesting because if you look at the previous thing from a week ago, uh this seems to be a version two of the LCD panel or at least a different manufacturer. Uh and what's really interesting about that is the current uh LCD screen has like uh some ghosting issues and some stuff that are actually worse than the Switch One panel while obviously having those things that are better. It's possible that this could be a panel that's being going to mass production that fixes those problems and they're just updating, you know, all future models that come out or, and this could be likely too because Nintendo has done this many times over the year, they're just going to have multiple panel manufacturers and they just distribute it quite randomly. Uh there used to be this thing with 3DS and DS back in the day like it'd be the panel lottery. Everyone's trying to get like the IPS panel versus the VA panel. Uh and it was kind of random if if you would get it. It was based on certain models made at certain factories. This is obviously still an LCD panel. It's not an OLED. They're not doing some major upgrades here. And we don't know if this panel is even better than the current panel. I mean, I guess it technically could be worse. Uh but yeah, this is just one of those things I wanted to bring to you guys' attention because as these end up hitting the marketplace and not just on resellers, uh you're going to start seeing that uh people are going to be testing this out. They're going to tear it apart and see which screen is which and we'll see if there's any improvements eventually because it is something that people have noted having issues with in the past. All right, guys. This gets us to our last story of the day. Holy crap, guys. We just might know or maybe definitively know. We'll see. The developer of Ocarina of Time remake. But before I tell you that, I want to just throw one little smidg in here. It's related to Zelda. Nate the Hate is recording a new podcast episode. He's one of the, you know, most reliable insiders on the market. And he specifically said it's about Zelda's 40th anniversary and more. Pretty crazy. It's probably dropping later this week. It's probably going to include some leaks and predictions for next week for Zelda's 40th and more. People are ignoring the more part, thinking he's just talking about how next week will only be a Zelda direct. That's not what he said. In fact, he didn't even say there's a direct next week yet. I assume that's going to come up on the show as well. Uh, but they're going to be focusing it on Zelda and more. We just don't know what the And Morph stuff is. But yeah, that's pretty cool. But what you're really here for is to know who the developer is. So, we're going to head over to this retailer who put up a pre-order listing early, seemingly early. They might have pre-order information already from Nintendo if they're going up for pre-order next week. It would make sense if retailers were informed now, especially if the direct is on Tuesday and that's the day pre-orders are going up. So, yeah, retailers might be getting informed a little bit on Acarina of Time so they can set up their pre-order pages. So, we're looking at this page obviously uh from a different country here. This is ELK J OP and it says The Legend of Zelda Ocarine of Time for Switch 2. Now, there's no new images here, so you're not going to see any new imagery. This is stuff we've already seen, right? But when we scroll down, get the product description. So, Link finally returns to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. One of the greatest adventures ever, now remastered for Switch 2. Now, they're using the word remastered. We know Nintendo uses the word reborn. This is their language, not Nintendo's. Okay, but let's go down the specifications. So, obviously product dimensions, they're talking about the packaging and all that, but get this general information. Now, this country, Nintendo does use a third party publisher. So, you're seeing that third party publisher listed here in Bergala. This apparently is quite normal in this country. So, don't be thrown off by that. In certain countries, Nintendo has to use other publishers. Like for a long time in China, they were using 10-centent. That didn't mean 10-centent owned the games, right? It's just how you have to get into certain markets. You can't always publish it yourself. You have to go through another party. But the interesting part here is the developer. You're seeing it right there. The developer name is Monolith Soft. Solo listed by itself. Now, what could this mean? Well, the obvious is obvious, right? Ocarine of Time remake likely has Monolithoft involved. In fact, they might be the primary developer. They've had that Legend game that they've teased art for and stuff for a while. And I kept wondering about the tease. And now the more I think about it, when I go back to the original one with the woman, what if that is Zelda as chic and that's something they've been working on for the seven-year thing. Also, Monolithoft has a lot of experience with Zelda. In fact, with Tears of the Kingdom, it was the first time they were involved with the Zelda game on the ground floor from day one, and they've probably learned a lot. And maybe through that is how they ended up being able to make Ocarina of Time remake. Uh especially while the Zelda team is obviously kicking around with the new 3D Zelda. Uh they could be handling this then go help the Zelda team finish off that then maybe even work on Majora's Mask. So this is really interesting especially when you bring in the Legend stuff because if this is that game that Legend was that we thought was a new IP seemed seemingly was teased as a new IP but never really fully 100% confirmed. I'll just say that uh that makes a lot of sense and it could explain why the art was medieval high fantasy, which is exactly what The Legend of Zelda is. No, it might not excite you that it's not a new IP, but it will excite you that Monolithoft is making this because Monolithoft does nothing but make absolute bangers. Okay, so this already excites me and the prospects for this particular game. That being said, folks, obviously this isn't a 100% confirmation. This potentially is a leak. You know, again, they could have legit information. We don't know. We don't work at this retailer. We're not sure how they know this stuff, but we do know that Nintendo does inform retailers before pre-order day of the information they need in order to set up a pre-order page. It's also possible they're guessing. Obviously, we don't 100% know, but why is this popping up right now? Why would they just make a guess at Monolith off and not just put Nintendo or NA like unknown, right? So, yeah. and they seem to know who the publisher is, which I guess in this country technically this this company does a lot of game publishing out there. So, that's pretty easy guess for them. But anyways, uh unfortunately there seems to be no date like leak here. It would have been cool if we had like a release date leak or something, but that's not included in here. So, I was kind of hoping that like that could be a nice heavy indicator as well if they already had the release date information, which they would likely have for pre-orders, but that is not on this page. So, it is what it is, guys. Uh let me know what you think about this down in the comments below. Things are obviously ramping up, not just because PAX is this week and Gamescom was last week, but because there's a Nintendo Direct happening next week. You can continue to doubt. You can continue to think it's not happening because Nintendo hasn't announced it. They only give 24-hour warnings like 99% of the time for these directs. So, you're not going to know until the day before. The day before could be Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Either way, we're going to find out. And hell, we might be live streaming that so right here from this hotel room because uh if it's on Tuesday morning, we happen to have the time to do it. Just got to wake up super early for it. That part's not fun, but the rest is. So, um and maybe it won't be this room. Maybe we'll be in another YouTuber's room. We're going to leave it at that because I don't want to give away everything that might be happening with my content this week. All right, guys. Thank you so much for tuning in.
