Podcast Reload: S17E41 - Nintendo Direct (Ocarina of Time, Fire Emblem, Kingdom Hearts IV)

The highly anticipated remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the star of the show, but there are a few things to say about this presentation which, seen in context, perhaps feels like the end of an era, a swan song for a format, the Direct, pioneered by Nintendo itself and imitated countless times. Does an event like this say more about the Switch 2 or about Nintendo Direct presentations themselves? We try to figure that out in this episode. And with that, we wrap up, at least as far as podcasts are concerned, June's gaming season. There's still a month left, and we're sure to receive some important news from Los Angeles, but Podcast Reload is signing off... until next week, when we'll be back with our regular programming and schedule. Thank you so much for tuning in. Remember, video games are back! If you enjoy what we do, and if our Summer Game Fest coverage has been interesting, why not support us on Patreon?
