Metroid Prime Trilogy Remaster, a Remaster of an F-Zero classic, and a very interesting spin-off featuring the Bayonetta franchise!

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is coming to the Switch in May 2023. The game has only received a couple of trailers as of yet. Fans have indeed gotten a glimpse of the game’s visuals. They have seen a bunch of new things they can expect from the game too.

Some have gone as far as to say that the awaited title is basically an asset flip of the previous game. But if this upcoming Zelda game is an asset flip of Breath of the wild, it will be strange to see the whole Hyrule flying in the sky.

Those who played the previous installment might remember well enough that the rain actually was part of the gameplay itself. It was just a whole lot of nuisances in it though. Hardcore players will be hoping to witness a change this time. The fact of the matter is, games that are mere asset flips, do not take 5 years to develop. So many fans are hopeful that Tears of Kingdom is not just a copy its predecessor.
