The Thursday letters page featured reader reactions to Nintendo’s second Direct presentation of the week, with many expressing excitement over the newly announced games. One reader specifically praised Onimusha: Way Of The Sword, a long-awaited action game returning to the franchise. Other titles under discussion included Metroid Ravenous, a new entry in the Metroid series, and a new Kirby game. While one reader admitted they weren’t a fan of Kirby, they were impressed by Metroid Ravenous and hoped it would address the mixed reception of Metroid Prime 4. Another reader was surprised by the new Metroid title, suggesting that Nintendo may have recognized the flaws in its previous game. Readers also noted the absence of several major Nintendo franchises, such as Mario, Animal Crossing, Super Smash Bros., Luigi's Mansion, and Splatoon 4. Some speculated that Nintendo might have lost the rights to Mario, while others thought development delays could be the cause. A few even joked about the possibility of GTA 6 eventually appearing on the upcoming Switch 2 platform. The announcement of a remake of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time was a major highlight for many readers. One described it as a “dream come true” and expressed hope for additional content beyond a direct remake. Another compared the visual quality of the remake to the Resident Evil remakes, calling it both beautiful and faithful to the original game. Readers also discussed upcoming titles like Fright Night and Onyx: The Dark Grip, with some expressing cautious optimism for Onyx despite concerns about its developer, Bloober Team. One reader shared their nostalgia for the Zelda series and mentioned considering upgrading to the Switch 2 to keep up with the growing library of games. Another reader asked for recommendations for must-play games on the 3DS, specifically for a seven-year-old who loves Pokémon.
