With what we’ve seen and heard about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time over the many years since its release, it’s clear that the game went through significant changes. The graphics, gameplay, and more went through revisions throughout the course of development.
A few days ago, YouTuber Hard4Games showed off some beta footage from a promotional VHS tape. It was originally given out through a Blockbuster giveaway in Brazil for pre-ordering. We’re able to see an early character model for Zelda, Link swinging his sword while running, calling Epona with a reed, and more.
Here’s the full video from Hard4Games:
Secret Item Games has announced Rack n’ Ruin, an isometric action-adventure game. We’ll be seeing it on Switch via the eShop on March 13.
Here’s an overview of Rack n’ Ruin, along with a trailer:
Back in October 2017, it was announced that Dark Horse had teamed up with Nintendo to produce new graphic novels based on the Switch game ARMS. The only update we’ve had since then was in May 2018 when it was stated that the first release was pushed back to January 2019. It’s been radio silence since then. Because of that, many feared that the project was cancelled entirely.
Despite the lack of news, Dark Horse says that the ARMS graphic novels are still planned. The company just shared that little tidbit at Toy Fair 2020. Beyond that though, there’s no word on when we’ll finally see the first comic.

It’s a big day for Pokemon Masters as several major additions have been made to the game. First up, the new Battle Villa game mode is now available. You can challenge this endurance-based game mode with a roster of up to 9 sync pairs and unlock rewards such as the new Lucky Skills. Make sure to read the in-game notification for an in-depth explanation of this new game mode.
As was announced yesterday, the Sygna Suit Red & Charizard Spotlight Scout is now live. This is a Poke Fair scout meaning you’ll have a 5% chance of getting a 5-star sync pair. The scout will be available until March 16.
A second new Spotlight Scout is also available, featuring Sygna Suit Elesa & Rotom. This one will also run until March 16. Even if you don’t scout Elesa, you can get to know her in the new Story Event “Shining Star”. You can obtain several rewards in this event such as Elite Four Notes and level-up manuals.
Finally, the game is nearing its 6-month anniversary. To celebrate, up to 3,000 Gems will be given away as log-in bonuses and there are also new limited-time missions that let you earn extra rewards.
