Video summary
The video begins with an update on various upcoming titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, highlighting significant graphical and performance improvements expected in these ports. A major focus is placed on *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered*, which is confirmed for release on September 29, 2026, alongside PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. The Switch 2 version will be a separate download optimized for single-player use, featuring cloud saves, touchscreen support, surround sound, HDR, and compatibility with 120 Hz displays. Official screenshots reveal that the game's visuals are drastically improved compared to the original Switch release, utilizing new lighting and ray tracing to create an experience that rivals or exceeds current-generation consoles. Additionally, footage from Gamescom showcases other titles like *007 First Light*, *Metaphor: ReFantazio*, *Mega Man Dual Overdrive*, and *Dragon's Dogma 2*, all of which appear to be running well on the new hardware, with *Dragon's Dogma 2* specifically noted for performing better than anticipated.
Beyond game releases, the host shares news about upcoming LEGO sets scheduled for 2027, including official images of Super Mario-themed constructions and a look at the highly anticipated LEGO Super Mario expansion. The video also covers Koei Tecmo's full lineup announcement for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, confirming that their entire roster, which includes *Attack on Titan 3* and *Dynasty Warriors 3*, will be playable on the Switch 2. This segment emphasizes the platform's strong presence in Japan and the likelihood of seeing extensive gameplay demonstrations for these titles at the event next month.
The core of the video addresses a significant update regarding recent leaks concerning a potential *Legend of Zelda* remake, specifically refuting the popular theory that it will be a one-to-one replica of *Ocarina of Time*. After Mike Odyssey initially suggested the project might follow the structure of the new *Star Fox* game, Nintendo responded by clarifying that their anagram hints do not support a direct 1:1 remake. This correction prompted the host and community members to develop a new, more nuanced theory based on the leaked text "level very Zelda colon-to." The proposed idea suggests that while the game is primarily *Ocarina of Time*, it will include a unique dungeon exclusive to Princess Zelda, possibly set in a Light Temple where players control her character. This addition would serve as a narrative device to wake Link from his seven-year slumber, offering fresh lore and gameplay elements without strictly adhering to the original layout.
In conclusion, the video wraps up by inviting viewers to share their own theories in the comments, with the host promising to feature the best community ideas in a future discussion video. The overall tone is one of excitement for the Switch 2's expanding library, which promises enhanced visuals and performance across major franchises. While the specific details of the Zelda project remain speculative due to Nintendo's clarification, the community's engagement highlights the deep interest in how these classic titles will evolve on the new hardware. The host thanks the audience for tuning in and encourages them to stay tuned for more updates as information continues to trickle out from Nintendo and developers alike.

Well, folks, before we dive into this
video, I want to remind you we are
giving away a Nintendo Switch 2 right
now. You can enter through the link down
in the pin comment or the description.
The winner will be drawn on October 1st.
The only requirement in order to enter
is to be subscribed to the channel. And
we got to go ahead and get into some
news today. So, you guys see the title.
We do have an update on the latest
Ocarina of Times/Zelda 40th anniversary
leaks and rumors out there. It's
actually a rather big update. And
because of this update, we now have a
new theory to present to you guys about
what might actually be going on. That's
pretty exciting. Again, it's a theory,
but it's based on the actual leak and
rumor that has an official update to it.
Uh, that's going to be at the end of the
video. So, if you guys want to go ahead
and go down to different timestamps to
jump to different stories, I totally
understand. But I do need to make sure I
update some people on other news
happening with Nintendo. Uh, so first
off, we have to talk about The Witcher 3
remastered. Uh, yes, it was announced
for Switch 2. We're not going to like
summarize all the opening night live
stuff, but we do have our first official
screenshots to look at and obviously
some general news around that version of
the game. More than that, because of
Gamescom, we have our first look at new
footage for 007 First Light running on
Switch 2, Metaphor Refantasio running on
Switch 2, Mega Man Dual Overdrive, and
Drago's Dogma 2. So, we're going to take
just brief looks and talk about those
games for a little bit. Uh, more than
that, we have a look at some of the new
LEGO sets that are coming in 2027. At
least a look at one of them along with
some news on some of the others. Uh,
more than that, Koe Techmo has confirmed
their entire lineup for Tokyo Game Show
next uh month. And a lot of these games
or almost all of them are coming to
Switch 2, so we got to check that out.
And yeah, as I said, the affformentioned
Zelda update. So guys, let's go ahead
and jump into our very first story here.
And this one deals with Witcher 3. But
first, let's go over what's going on so
you understand why the screenshots
matter here cuz hey, Witcher 3 is on
Switch One, right? So, The Witcher 3
Wild Hunt remastered has been announced
for Switch 2 and is arriving in
September. So, it says CD Project Red
has announced the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
remastered for Switch 2, PlayStation 5,
Xbox Series, Xods, and PC with a release
date for September 29th, 2026. The new
version of the Dark Fantasy RPG will
include the Hearts of Stone and Blood
and Wine expansions and will feature a
number of improvements over previous
editions. The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
remastered modernizes Geralt of Rivia's
adventure with visual performance and
gameplay enhancements, including changes
to combat controls, and skill
progression. Players will continue their
journey through the Northern Kingdoms in
search of Siri before the Wild Hunters
can seize the young woman's powers. Uh,
you can get more details obviously about
this, but what's really cool about this
is on the Switch 2, the version will
actually be about 43.4 GB and will be
designed for a single player. It will
also support cloud saves, a touchscreen,
and surround sound. On compatible
televisions, the Switch 2 version will
support HDR and 120 Hz refresh rate.
Obviously, 120 Hz works in handheld. The
presence of this option indicates
compatibility with screens operating at
this frequency, although the description
provided does not itself establish a
frame rate of 120 fps. Players who
already own The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,
that includes me, on Nintendo Switch,
will be able to redeem The Witcher 3
Wild Hunt remastered for free on Switch
2 after its release. CD Project Red
emphasizes that this is a separate
download which will appear with its own
icon on the home menu after
installation. Uh, also Witcher 3: Songs
of the Past DLC is going to be coming
and there was a trailer for that. Uh,
but yeah, for free whether you own it
physically or digitally, it is for free.
That is awesome. That is wild. But the
reason we're talking about this today
isn't because I mean that's that's like
the big news cuz we actually have a look
at the Switch 2 version. Uh, we have a
look at it thanks to Nintendo everything
over here. We have our first screenshot.
So, here is screenshot number one, which
look, this is like a 4K screenshot. So,
it's quite large, but look at the
details, man. This looks so much better
than it does on Switch One. It's
absolutely insane. As we go back here,
we look at this next image here. I mean,
look at this. Look at how insane this
looks. This looks so good compared to
that Switch One release. Again, just
comparing to that. Obviously, there's
new lighting involved, ray tracing,
stuff like that. Switch 2 is supporting
all that. So obviously it's going to
look even better on PlayStation 5 and
Xbox Series X. That's not really the
point. The point is this looks amazing
on Switch 2 as well. This is awesome.
People are going to love it. We don't
know the frame rates or anything. A
support for 120 Hz would suggest to me
it's probably targeting 60. Maybe
there's a 40 FPS mode as well. But yeah,
guys, it looks crazy. It looks good. And
you know what? We actually get to get
actual gameplay footage of for the
Switch 2 version. How about a bunch of
games that are at Gamescom here? So,
let's go ahead and take a look at this.
So, first Nintendo Switch 2 gameplay is
in for 007 First Light Metaphor
Refantasio Mega Man Dual Overdrive
Dragon's Dogma 2. Uh so, first let's
just look at 007 First Light. Uh look
guys, I'm really excited for this one.
It reviewed very well on other platforms
and it looks like it's running decently
here. Maybe even better than the Hitman
game that came at launch. I'm, you know,
until I go hands- on myself, I'm not
really sure. I don't know if I'll get to
go hands-on with this at all uh during
packs next week. I'm hoping that it's
there. But yeah, uh then we also get a
look at Metaphor Refantasio. And not
only do we have a look at this gameplay
here, uh we also technically have a
preview you can check out from Thunder
Stash Gaming. I'll go ahead and link
that down below cuz he actually got to
play this at a separate event than
Gamescom. But unfortunately, they
couldn't put the previews out till
today. And today is also the same day as
the footage from Gamescom. So, we're
going to use the Gamescom footage
because we know for sure, matter of
fact, that this is Switch 2 stuff. But
Thunder Stash gives you all the
breakdown on the game and it targeting
60 fps and all that stuff. Then,
obviously, we got to take a look here at
Mega Man Dual Override. This was
announced yesterday. Uh, it looks
really, really good. Mega Man is back,
baby. I'm happy to see the Blue Bomber
back in action yet again, even with a
game here that kind of reminds me a bit
of the Mega Man X series a bit. Uh,
look, the gameplay looks really, really
good. I just wanted to make sure you
guys got a chance to see this. It should
look relatively the same on every
platform, but one game you might
actually want to know just how it runs
on Switch 2 in general is Dragons Dogma
2: Dark Arisen. And here we can see some
actual Switch 2 gameplay. Uh, people
seem to be pretty satisfied. Uh, in
fact, the thumbnail of the video you're
seeing here on screen right now from the
Outer Haven literally says runs better
than we expected. So, while this isn't
obviously running perfect, it's
obviously a really enjoyable experience.
And Dragon's Dogma 2 is looking utterly
fantastic on the platform. So, that is
just something that I thought you guys
might want to hear about and uh be up to
date on because I'm a big Dragons Dogma
fan and maybe you are as well. So, yeah,
the Switch 2 version definitely looks
passable. All right, we got to go get
into our next story here. This one deals
with 2027 Lego sets. Uh we have a little
bit of a look here. Says first look at
the 2027 Lego Super Mario sets. And
look, you can see this first one here
obviously looks pretty cool. Uh cuz this
has officially been unveiled. And then
brick set obviously leaked. All these
other ones we talked about before in
Mario's Pipe Jump, Yoshi at Mario's
House, Bowser's Rumbling Race, Fire
Mario in Bowser's Castle, Fire Luigi
versus Koopa Troopa Battle. Uh so it's
pretty cool. But yeah, we can take a
look at some of these images here. Um,
and yeah, it's nice to see some official
stuff here. Uh, coming in on the Lego
set images. You see the Mario Kart one
here. You can see some of the beach set
over here at Cheap Cheap Beach. Cheap
Cheap Beach one actually looks really
good. I I might I might want to get that
one for myself. That one looks great.
Some more Mario Kart stuff. Obviously
featuring Bowser Jr. and Luigi.
Obviously see a house here with a slide
with Yoshi. You're seeing obviously some
more stuff here from Mario Kart.
Definitely Mario Kart World because you
have the cow, right? The cow's up in
here. That's good to see. Here's
Bowser's Castle looking all good. And
then obviously we have a look here at
this set as well. So guys, I'm really
happy that we have these official looks
at the LEGO sets. Thank you so much uh
to LEGO for finally releasing those
images so we can actually talk about it
a bit more in depth than just leaks. All
right, guys. Next up, Koe Techmo has had
their entire lineup announced for Tokyo
Game Show and uh this is really cool.
So, they detailed their lineup for it
and it says Altaria Caria, the Night
Kingdom and Guide of Memories, Attack on
Titan 3, Dynasty Warriors 3 Complete
Edition Remastered, Nobunaga's Ambition,
Hishue, and Woolong 2: Wings of Ember
will be featured. And as it says, all of
these games are already confirmed for
Switch 2. They'll also mention that each
of Koi Technical's games will be
playable. They'll have a stage presence,
too. Uh, so yeah, Tokyo Game Show is
next month, of course, and happens every
single time. This is awesome. I'm really
happy that we're going to see a bunch of
likely Switch 2 gameplay of this stuff
at Tokyo Game Show because Nintendo is
the biggest platform in Japan. So, a lot
of games like to show off their stuff,
specifically on Nintendo's platforms.
All right, guys. Now, we got to get to
the Zelda. I know you've been waiting.
I've been waiting, too. Uh just to kind
of give you guys the the the the skinny
here. Uh yesterday we put out a video
talking about Nintendo and a specific
Zelda leak he put out there. That Zelda
leak uh said essentially level very
Zelda colon-to
and we talked about a whole bunch of
stuff with Otto. A lot of people kind of
jumping to the conclusion that Otto
means well
one right. So, hey, a very onetoone
Zelda remake, right? That's what people
were kind of assuming. Although some
people jumped to other stuff, went to
orchestra things. It could be a product,
right? It doesn't necessarily even mean
it is Ocarina of Time. We have an update
on this because Mike Odyssey quoted him
and uh decided to basically put that out
there that he thinks it's that and
Nintend shot it down. So Mike Odyssey
before he edited his post said Nintendo
shared an anagram hint related to The
Legend of Zelda that could translate to
every level one one meaning that the
upcoming remake could be a one to one
remake of the original like the new Star
Fox game. Nintendo responds and says can
confirm it specifically is not hinting
at that. So Nintendo just coming right
at me like nah man that's not at all
what I'm talking about. So, whoa. Okay.
So, now we could throw out the most
popular theory around yesterday's leak/
rumor. So, what I wanted to do actually
is bring up a theory slash uh idea here
from one of the members of our channel.
Uh, this person brought it up on
yesterday's live stream once we had this
news break. And again, I want to make
sure to shout out Joyce Jay, one of our
moderators. She brought attention to me
that there was an update on this story.
She's a big Zelda fan, so she's trying
to pay attention to stuff here. Anyways,
one of another member of our channel,
another fan, uh, decided in my live
stream yesterday to propose a different
theory. Now that we know this isn't
onetoone, and this theory directly
relates to Ocarine of Time. It's
something I wasn't thinking about, but
it's something that actually uses the
entire tweet. So, not just the Otto, but
the level vary Zelda and even the colon
and the dash. I'm just noting here that
like this is very much speculation
but man this is a good theory. So here
we go. Boom mini one says level very
Zelda one temple only. You play as Zelda
for one temple and they added that to
the remake. Now, they say they're out of
ideas, but we're not dumb because her
husband decided to chime in and said,
"My husband thinks that the colon-
represents the eye of the chic symbol."
And you know what? When that symbol has
its eye closed, maybe maybe they're on
to something there. So, a new dungeon
exclusive to Zelda. So, very Zelda
level. Very Zelda. It is a Zelda only
level in the game
that uh you know
one temple only.
Oh man, can you imagine
sometime during the seven years there's
a light temple and you're playing a chic
for a small bit and you have to do the
light temple as Zelda/Shik
and that's how you wake Link up from
seven years of sleep.
actually have that fully play out and
explained. Man, would that be a really,
really cool piece of lore. That'd be
some really great additional content.
And obviously a small little jaunt
that's different than an Ocarine of
Time. I like this theory a lot. I
actually think this is one of the best
theories I've ever seen for this so far.
And just to remind you guys obviously of
the original stuff here, so you can see
how they got to that. Uh this is the
original tweet and uh it's kind of
crazy, guys. So it says level very Zelda
colon oto their theory encompasses all
of it. So boom mini and your husband
holy crap you blew my mind. I now I'm
like this actually might be what it is.
This is where my mind is going.
Obviously all you guys' other theories
are relevant and it is possible we make
a new video on this later. Uh maybe
while I'm gone at PAX I'll have a video
go up that has all of your guys'
theories as well. You guys have left a
lot of great theories on the last video
down in the comments that wasn't about
obviously this being a onetoone remake.
So now you can leave additional theories
down below and I'm going to try to
feature some of the absolute best ones
in a discussion video on this because
again your theories are crazy and so
much better than what I'm coming up
with. So thank you guys so much for
that. Can't wait to see. We all just
really want to see this game. I mean
we're grasping at everything right now
because we just want information. We
just want screenshots. We want footage.
We want to play it. All right, guys. I'm
Nathaniel Robance from Nintendo Prime. I
want to thank you guys so much for
tuning in. And of course, I'll catch you
in the next video.
