Yeah, 16/32 bits pixel art is timeless. F-Zero X and Star Fox 64 I think aged very well too.
I’m still playing through the Perfect Dark campaing on Switch. As you mention with OoT, once you get used to the controllers, you don’t mind anymore. I thought maybe N64 games hadn’t aged well since the 3D graphics were right from the start of the transition into 3D, with not too many polygons. But the gameplay is still fun, which is the main thing. And the old graphics have their charm!
I also had some friends come over and since one of them had mentioned she liked Bubble Bobble, I got Bubble Bobble 4 Friends. I wouldn’t get it for myself, but it turns out to be really fun and chaotic on couch co-op with 3 other people. It starts easy and gets quite challenging, mostly when there’s so much stuff on screen (or I’m old), but I guess that’s the goal.
Yeah, it’s sad that people will make a whole deal out of each answer when it’s mostly corporate speak without really saying anything too interesting.
Thought I’d post the whole thread here, since every Nintendo/Gaming “news outlet” out there is making a whole post out of each and every answer 🙄

I have played around 100 hours of Smash Ultimate and I’d say at least 85% of that time has been single player and online multiplayer. It’s really fun to play with other people multiplayer, but realistically I don’t do that as often as I’d like. And when I do, we rarely end up playing Smash :(
I look forward to reading your comments about OoT next week!
I tried playing with the Switch controller and I found it to be a nightmare 😅 I should try setting them up to see if I can make it work better. I have an old N64 controller where I installed the 8bitdo Mod Kit for the Switch. It feels way better, but the analogue stick is not in great condition so it’s not great for aiming. It’s still good enought I guess, but I’ll have to try setting up the controllers with the Switch Pro.
I played some Hunters too, and it was fun. I unlocked a few characters and then I kind of lost interest.
I am currently playing Star Fox: Adventures on the Game Cube. I played it years ago but didn’t finish it so I started a new game to finish it.
I also started Perfect Dark on the Switch. (again, I played it a lot on original hardware back in the day). It’s a good game, I always preferred it over Goldeneye. I don’t know if I’m going to finish it again, but it’d be really cool to relive some multiplayer battles!
As the video says, it doesn’t provide all the functionality that the Analogue Pocket has, but it’s a very good alternative for a decent price!
This looks interesting. Metroid Dread vibes, but seems to be its own thing.
