I think this is easily selling 5M+ on the first weekend
Pretty impressive for a 1:1 remake

A whole 100k copies? Mind blowing. Nintendo must be celebrating this massive success. They've never sold 100k copies before. Do keep us updated, OP. These numbers are very important for video game discussion. We're all Nintendo shareholders here, after all.

Am I meant to be surprised that nu-nintendo slop eaters and nostalgia fags are buying something like the good goyim they are? If Nintendo sold a literal horse turd I'd fully expect these same people to pre-order it the moment it goes up.

>>
>>747663987
BotW and TotK sold 30 million each. You’re vastly overestimating OoT power here
>>
This is selling purely because of breath of the wild. It's a game from a time when gamers were 1/10th of the numbers they are now, barely anyone claiming to be a zelda fan these days have played it, they have only played botw/totk. The sales numbers of the series back this up.
They will probably even be disappointed it's not open world and assume it is based on what they see of hyrule field and will just performatively like it for a week because they know they are "supposed to" but never bring it up again after

People also thought gamers would consider survival horror outdated and it wouldn't sell, then RE2 Remake became the best selling game in the series.

>>
>>747664074
This is 100% going to. It’s going to feel like a step backwards to Botw-onlys. They’re going to see that they have to do a whole puzzle just so Link can get up on a ledge he could probably just jump and grab onto. No physics, no crafting, very few weapons and armor, no climbing and gliding and very lackluster side content. This isn’t new to Zelda. There’s a whole TV tropes page on this phenomenon called “Seinfeld isn’t funny”

100k seems low. I know switch 2 games are selling terribly but I expected this to do good.

>>747666645
100k+ just on amazon and just for physical copies for one week is pretty high
>>
>>747665714
Well it also controls and shoots a lot differently as well. In that sense it was brought to more or less the standard of its contemporaries. Now it played more like Dead Space(Not quite as fast as RE4 OG). However OoT is still the same game, something like a dedicated jump button is nothing in the grand scheme of things. These Zelda players got used to so much and now they don’t have that.

But in terms of game design, it's more similar to the original RE2 than it is to RE5/RE6. with limited ammo, puzzles, and backtracking.
It's the same kind of situation here. Ocarina is not a worse game, it's a different kind of game.

The thing is that people didn’t like RE5/6 as much as the older games because it lost that fear factor. They are supposed to be horror games. But Zelda is about adventure and when compared to the grandness of Botw and TotK that adventure feels a whole lot more subdued. They know this. There’s a reason they change entry into Hyrule field to match BoTW in the remake by adding a hill so you can over look it.

this thing is gonna hit 10M units before the end of the FY I think, despite being released in november. The interest is very high

The only RE game that had the atmosphere to have a proper fear factor was REmake, even the original game was too bright and the dialogue too cheesy to be considered a true horror game, and by RE3, you already have Jill doing cool dodges and throwing one liners at Nemesis. Granted, RE5 and 6 learned the wrong things from RE4 and got away from the survival horror genre as much as they could.

I also went to the store this last weekend and they had nothing related to OoT, so I guess I'm out of luck until the game releases. Amazon is out of the question, it instantly sold out and I don't want to risk not getting a foil box if I buy it there. You leaves are getting some nice stuff at least.
>>
>>747671312
it has an exclusive foil cover you mouth breathing retard
>>
>>747670891
I checked the list in my country at best I can buy a version that comes with the Ocarina, I just assumed that that was standard everywhere, it's also retailer exclusive for some reason, I don't get it.
>>
>>747671606
Europe versiona come with either the spirit stones or the plastic ocarina, depending on country.
All versions of the preorder include the holofoil package that US gets, they just get a bit more swag with it.
>>
>>747671519
So the physical copy day 1 at Walmart won't have the foil?
>>
>>747666985
On nintendo console*

Half-Life, StarCraft, Baldur's Gate, Thief and Lineage came out in 98. Zelda is a silly little children's game by comparison. RE2, MGS, Abe's Exoddus, Railroad Tycoon 2 and Unreal from the same year were also much better games. American game journalists hyping up some kiddy game that barely anyone had played or heard about for the next ten years as the greatest thing ever was probably the most ridiculous and bizarre occurance in the history of gaming.

I had time for all of these and played them all on release, as well as zelda. I nearly failed out of univeristy in 1998 but that was legitmately the best year of gaming, all time.

An N64 was only $129 at the time Zelda was release, for a PC masterace gamer it would be weird not to also have both a Playstation and/or an N64. (Consoles cost as much as a fucking soundcard alone). Most PCfags I knew had both consoles plus their gaming rig.

>>747673078
I was still a 9 year old babu when OoT was released, and I'm the prime example of the kid waking up on Christmas morning and finding his brand new Nintendo 64 with a copy of Ocarina of Time under his tree because he watched the OoT ad and REALLY needed to get that game. It is definitely one of the fondest memories I have in terms of gaming. And most of my school friends also had N64s, so it was a very good time overall.
>>
>>747664653
Remake 2 isn't even survival horror. It's just a TPS like RE4. It plays nothing remotely like the original.

Sadly it will gets memory-holed quickly after its release

5M at launch sounds about right for the big years end game, I'm guessing lifetime sales of around 30 mil, although it depends on how many reviewers decided to take it down a peg for their own ego, probably a lot.

>>747674895
And? Mario Kart 8 has sold more than Mario Kart World. Mario Odyssey sold 30 million. Pokemon Sword and Shield sold 1 mil less than Scarlet and Violet.
>>
>>747663264
5 million sold in half a year is not bad at all. Zelda will do more than that and might even match it in its first month or two.
>>
>>747675031
Wat is your point again? Sales or that games get forgotten quickly
>>
>>747674796
I don't think you understand what flavor of the month means. Do you still see people actively discussing Breath of the Wild daily? Or streamers actively playing the game by the hundreds? It has sold over 30 million units because it's an evergreen title released along the Switch 1, which was already over 8 years ago. Ocarina of Time has the advantage of being "fairly priced" at $60 along the reputation of being the highest rated and one of the most important games in gaming history, but it's still a single-player game that will have its discussion naturally die in a matter of weeks regardless if it continues selling also as a Switch 2 evergreen.
