• Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake removed Mario and Skyward Sword references to not "interrupt" players

  11-11-2026 01:45 via GamesRadar+
  
  The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is, by most standards, a pretty faithful remake to the original game, but Nintendo wasn't scared to make changes where necessary. I was a little bummed to learn the fun references to the Super Mario Bros. series had been removed, not to mention some Zelda: Skyward Sword art that was in the Ocarina of Time 3DS remake, but with how carefully Nintendo positions every game, remaster, and remake into its existing portfolio, I'm not at all surprised.In case

• Resident Evil remakes skipped the first game because Capcom worried it "might not resonate"

  10-11-2026 23:01 via GamesRadar+
  
  Capcom's modern Resident Evil remakes are fantastic entry points for one of the most beloved survival horror series of all time, but it's always felt weird that the very first 1996 game still hasn't been given the full-blown third-person RE Engine treatment. Yes, there's a remake from 2002, but it's way more faithful to the original game than the much more recent remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4, featuring the classic tank controls and static camera from the series' origin. Basically, if you

• "There is no doubt that Persona influenced this title," series veteran says of his new RPG

  Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa has rejected the idea that the company hasn't had new gameplay ideas to rival the Wii Remote in the 20 years since its release.

  Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai is up to something, but he's not ready to tell fans what that is. That's OK, though, because they're doing that part for him – though I suppose only he and his team know if anyone's actually got it right. Speaking during an interview for the Famitsu 40th Anniversary Festival (translated by Genki_JPN on Twitter, below), Sakurai is asked what he's working on right now – a question that makes the dev smile, but gives an incredibly short response: "Ther

  GTA 6 preload is officially underway, and in just a few hours your PS5 or Xbox Series X will know all of Vice City's secrets (it just can't tell you them until November 19). With a whopping 212GB file size, the latest instalment in Rockstar's blockbuster series is its heaviest yet, and that could spell disaster for your existing game library.
