Do you think we'll see a Majora's Mask remake as well? 🤔

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you're all doing well. 😊

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake will finally be released soon! Given that Nintendo put in the effort to rebuild Ocarina of Time from the ground up, what do you all think about the possibility of seeing Majora's Mask getting a remake on the Switch 2 as well? 🤔

There's a part of me that kind of feels like it's a given since we're getting the Ocarina of Time remake, but Majora's Mask is one of my favorite Zelda games of all time so that could be my bias speaking. 😂

As always, be sure to check out all of the amazing people I've tagged! ❤️

The Mineru's Construct amiibo is one I wasn't overly sure I wanted. I have to be honest, I didn't play an awful lot of Tears of the Kingdom. I fell off it pretty quickly putting in only around 20 hours or so as I just don't think it's the game for me. It certainly didn't hit the same way as Breath of the Wild, but that's just my personal opinion. With the upgrade pack on Switch 2, I may jump back into it at some point. That being said, this amiibo is simply gorgeous. The attention to detail on this one is simply stunning and it's also a pretty hefty figure. Its arms are also articulated as well which makes for a really nice touch. Seeing this in person also reassures my decision of getting it because although I haven't progressed in the game far enough to reach it, the amiibo is now up there as one of my favourites. What do you think to the Mineru's Construct amiibo and were you a fan of Tears of the Kingdom? Happy Saturday everyone! 🙌

A final post for this weeks celebration of the Gamecube's 25th anniversary and I thought today I would share an upto date look at my Gamecube game collection. It currently sits at 55 games and there are still tons more I want to add. Im happy to have essential titles such as Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Bros Melee, Zelda Wind Waker and also some cult faves such as Chibi-Robo, Doshin the Giant and Gotcha Force, but titles such as the Mario Party titles, the rest of the Resident Evil and Sonic titles are still needed. Since the Gamecube's launch (in the UK at least), it has provided me with so many happy gaming memories from being an almost teenager right up to now in my mid to late 30s and is why I have such a love for it. Gamecube will always be my favourite and these games are why! 🙌

𝙂𝙊𝙏 𝙎𝙊𝙈𝙀𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙏𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙈𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙏 𝙔𝘼.......𝙎𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙉𝙂𝙀𝙍! - Continuing the Gamecube related posts for the systems recent 25th anniversary, today, I wanted to show you this incredibly awesome Resident Evil 4 Gamecube that was released to tie in with the games release back in 2005. Originally, Resident Evil 4 was a Gamecube exclusive and so, Capcom and Nintendo wanted to go all out. The Resident Evil 4 Limited Edition Pak cane with a silver Gamecube with the Gamecube jewel being swapped out for a Resident Evil 4 one, a Resident Evil 4 branded controller, a copy of the game and a bonus disc, exclusive to this pack featuring a synopsis of the then completed Resident Evil legacy and also erm......a Metroid Prime demo! 🤷‍♂️ Anyways, I love this system. When Resi 4 originally released on the Gamecube, it very quickly became one of my favourite games and has since been in my top 5 of all time, so I am very happy to have the special edition console that ties in with it. Now if I could only find a Resi 4 chainsaw controller to go with it 😆

Keeping up with Gamecube related posts as Nintendo's purple lunchbox celebrated its 25th anniversary this week, I figured this would be another great opportunity to share with you my personal favourite piece in my collection and if you know how much I love Gamecube, then you'll probably know why having a Panasonic Q means the world to me. Panasonic Q was a Japan only hybrid videogame console combining a Nintendo Gamecube with CD, DVD and VCD playability. With PlayStation and Xbox dominating the competition at the time, Nintendo knew it needed to do something to keep up and so, they teamed up with electronics manufacturer Panasonic to do just that. Sadly, just 2 years after hitting Japaense shelves, it failed to sell 100,000 units and Nintendo decided to cease production. A really sad state of affairs because to look at and to boot up, this thing is gorgeous. Boasting a stainless steel fronting, four blue illuminated controller ports and a backlit top LCD screen for track and time info, it really isn't hard to see why any Gamecube loving fan wouldn't fall in love with this. Whilst these things cost an absolute fortune these days, I was very fortunate to have gotten mine for a very good price from a friend of mine and ever since, this has been my absolute favourite piece in my collection.........along with R.O.B the Robot of course! 😆

Yesterday may have marked 25 years of the Nintendo Gamecube, but for us brits, we wouldn't see the system release until May of 2002. Until then, we had to make do with magazines to get the latest scoop, but I do remember @currys having these Gamecube preview DVDs that were free to take, so naturally, I did so 🤗. On the disc is a huge amount of trailers for upcoming Gamecube titles such as Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, StarFox Adventures, Luigi's Mansion and many more including third party games. There is even a rather nifty Metroid legacy video on there too. I included the start up video from tge DVD so you can get a taste of the vibes Nintendo were going with back in the early 2000s. Man, I miss this era of gaming so much.

🥳 𝙂𝘼𝙈𝙀𝘾𝙐𝘽𝙀 𝙄𝙎 25 🥳 - So I have to be honest here, I've reused an old shot of mine as I was running out of time before taking Max swimming when I realised that the Gamecube, my personal favourite system of all time, is a whopping quarter of a century old today. 25 years of Gamecube goodness. Crazy to think right? Back in the day, I remember getting mocked for loving Nintendo's purple lunchbox whilst everyone else rocked their PS2s and Xbox's, but I think it's fair to say that time has been very kind to the Gamecube. More people than ever are now realising just how great this system was and just how great its library really is. Crazy that many of the games still hold up incredibly well today, but I guess that's just another reason why this is such a great system. Games such as Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Sunshine, Super Smash Bros, Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Eternal Darkness and many, many more are often seen on 'best games of all time' lists and if you have played these, you'll know exactly why. Sure, the cube may not have had a DVD or CD player (at least, outside of the Panasonic Q), or much of an online infrastructure, but when it came to the games, where it mattered most, Gamecube stood incredibly tall. Happy 25th Gamecube. Still is and forever will be my GOAT of consoles! 🙌

I finished the bonus levels in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which were inspired by levels from Super Mario Odyssey. 🎩

In these levels, you also teamed up with the Toad Brigade and Toadette. 🍄

But that last level, where you had to navigate a maze full of enemies while collecting 5,000 coins, was so hard. It took hours and caused quite a bit of frustration, but I finally did it! 💰👑

Now all that’s left is the DLC, and then hopefully next week we’ll start a completely different game. Can you guess which one? Let me know in the comments 🤔

With all of the new announcements and updates from Tuesdays Nintendo Direct, you might not be aware that Professor Layton and Yo-Kai Watch developer Level 5 had its own presentation with the Level 5 Vision showcase yesterday. What was on there? Another look at Professor Layton and Yo-Kai Watch as well new title Holy Horror Mansion and DLC for Fantasy Life i, but one thing that did get announced was that the original Professor Layton title which was released on Nintendo DS, Professor Layton and the Curious Village will be getting completely remade from the ground up releasing next year on Switch and Switch 2. I can remember the original Layton game releasing way back in 2008 (or 2007 for Japan) and taking the world by storm. Its well thought out puzzles, gorgeous art style, animated cutscenes, beautiful music and lovable characters made for a great game that was accessible for anyone and everyone. With the game being nearly 20 years old now, maybe now is a perfect time to bring it back to life with a fresh lick of paint and something that not only OG fans can enjoy, but also new players too. I will definitely be checking it out when it releases next year? How about you?!?! 🙌

One thing from yesterday's Nintendo Direct that had me really excited for was that for the first time in god knows how long, we had StarFox in a standard and traditional Direct presentation. I don't even want to guess how many years it's been. Was the StarFox stuff for StarLink shown in a Direct? If not, then StarFox Zero was the last time which was over 10 years ago now, so to see Fox and the crew jam out with Samus, Kirby, Mario, etc, was pretty darn cool. First it was announced that StarFox on Switch 2 would be getting a multiplayer update featuring new levels and 4 player local co-op support, but also, it was announced that the final @rareltd title on Nintendo home hardware, StarFox Adventures, would be available after the Direct had finished. If you haven't played Adventures, then you might be interested to know that it doesn't play like your traditional StarFox game. Instead, it plays more like a Zelda title. It actually started off as a different game known then as Dinosaur Planet, but would have Fox and the gang added in later on in development. Growing up, I didn't care much for this game and I think that was the overall general consensus on it. Years have passed and time seems to have been much kinder to it nowadays. As I've gotten older, I too have an appreciation for it that I certainly did not back then, but maybe the youth in me just wanted to get inside an Arwing and blast everything 🤣. Now that I have finished Orbitals (which by the way was very fun, if a little short), I think I may just have to boot this one up for old times sake. Have you played StarFox Adventures? If not, will the recent addition to the Nintendo Classics range tempt you to try it out?

What was your favorite announcement from today's Nintendo Direct? 🤔

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you're all doing well. 😊

Another Nintendo Direct has come and gone, and, as usual, we got to take a look at a bunch of different games! This probably isn't surprising in the slightest, but my favorite announcement from today's Direct was Kirby and The World Beyond! 😍

Nintendo has been on a generational run with Kirby games as of late, and this one looks like it's going to be absolutely phenomenal as well! My Switch 2 wishlist keeps getting larger and larger. 😂

As always, be sure to check out all of the amazing people I've tagged! ❤️
