Alongside the now live Zelda Ocarina of Time remake pre-order deal, Nintendo just announced one of its “largest promotions ever.” It’s certainly not Black Friday yet by any means, but Nintendo has an upcoming September sale event that sounds like it (might) rival the usual fall holiday price drops. 

While the new DualSense Grand Theft Auto controllers will go up for pre-order this morning, we are once again dedicating today’s game post to the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for Switch 2. The $10 pre-order discount on physical copies has been going in and out of stock, but as of right now you can secure a copy on sale over at Amazon if you’re quick – get in there while you can (the discounted price appears in the cart). 

• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time physical $60 (Reg. $70) | Amazon
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time digital $60 (digital) | Amazon

A classic tale, reborn for the Nintendo Switch 2 system, featuring voiced cutscenes, expanded dialogue, symphonic orchestral music, visuals built from the ground up for Nintendo Switch 2, and more

Pre-order discounts on the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are now live ahead of release in early November, but Nintendo hosted a separate Direct event this morning with long list of notable reveals as well. From a new 3D Kirby adventure and the anticipated new 2D Metroid game, to FREE content updates for Mario Kart World and StarFox, down below you’ll find all of the most exciting announcements and releases from the September Nintendo Direct.

It’s been a big week for Nintendo fans with gameplay reveal of Ocarina of Time on Switch 2, a new Zelda 40th Anniversary console, and the host of fresh reveals from today’s second Direct in as many days. However, we are not just yet as Nintendo is now serving up a Treehouse livestream with gameplay from the new titles on display this week. 

The September Nintendo Direct goes live this morning, just after the Zelda 40th Anniversary event yesterday and the now live pre-orders for the new Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. 

Happy Nintendo Direct Day…again! Nintendo hosted a Zelda 40th Anniversary show yesterday, gave us a look at the new Switch 2 console, and gameplay footage for the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. The latter is now available for pre-order and if you’re quick you can still land a copy with a discount. The Amazon listing has jumped back to full price (although that could change at any time), but Walmart is still offering physical copies at $10 off in the cart and you can still score some discounted Nintendo gift cards to land a deal on Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo Store:

The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct will go live later today, but appears Nintendo might have already revealed the Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake price ahead of time.

Nintendo is set to go live tomorrow morning with a very special Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, and, save for the reveal of Switch 2, it might be the biggest Nintendo presentation in years.

Here we go folks! Nintendo has just officially announced the long-awaited, highly-anticipated Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Nintendo Direct, and a second more traditional Direct show the very next day. This is huuuuge! 

Nintendo’s big Switch 2 release of the year, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, has been officially revealed, but very little is known about it. Nintendo did mistakenly drop a brief description, and it has told us it is coming this year, but what is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake release date? How much is it going to cost? And what sort of remake are we going to get?

Not only does Sony think Grand Theft Auto VI plays better on PS5, but it has also secured the rights to release a pair of exclusive GTA VI DualSense controllers as well – check them out below. 

We are taking a short break this morning from this week’s massive Labor Day sales at Amazon and Best Buy to dive into the September State of Play. While we are still awaiting news on the potential Nintendo Direct, Sony is going live this morning at 9 a.m. ET for what sounds like a lengthy double feature State of Play event. 

September is here and that means we are in for loads of new tech reveals, the latest from Apple, and, presumably, the next Nintendo Direct. And with fans eagerly awaiting news on the Zelda Ocarina of Time remake, I’m not sure anticipation for the September Nintendo Direct could be any higher. 

Nintendo launched its next-generation console with brand new Mario Kart experience, but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains one of the highest-selling Nintendo games of all-time and it just got a FREE Switch 2 update. 

Alongside the now live Labor Day sales a Best Buy and Amazon, we are also getting some new Nintendo action as well. While we are still awaiting official news on the expected September Nintendo Direct, the latest additions to the Switch Online library have been announced with three new classics for the NES library. 

We are taking a quick timeout from the ongoing Amazon Labor Day sale today to make sure everyone heard the news – Sony just announced the next State of Play games showcase…two of them, in fact. 

Okay this is folks. After 13 years of waiting, what feels like countless delays (two if I remember correctly), and a gazillion dollars in profit on GTA Online later, Rockstar is set to take the virtual stage on Netflix of all places to finally show us Grand Theft Auto VI. 

As we recently detailed, the new XBOX Series X25 limited edition console is going up for pre-order today at Amazon and other major retailers. The leaked price and release date were largely on point and we should start seeing pre-order listings going live shortly – they are scheduled to go up at 7:00 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET.  

***Note: We will update these links/this post as listings go live.

XBOX Series X25 limited edition console $899 | Amazon

XBOX Series X25 limited edition console $899 | Walmart

XBOX Series X25 limited edition console $899 | Best Buy

XBOX X25 Special Edition controller $80 | Best Buy

The biggest gameplay reveal in, quite possibly, history is set to go live this afternoon and Grand Theft Auto VI takes over Netflix in a first-of-its-kind partnership (i.e Netflix paid a boat load to get 6-hour exclusivity for the GTA VI reveal that will be all over the internet the second it goes live). We know all this already, but Rockstar has delivered some details on how folks are allowed to stream this thing and Netflix just published a new article on today’s main event. 

• Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live at Amazon on PS5 and Xbox.

Today is the day folks – official Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay will go live at 12:00 p.m. PT/3:00 a.m. ET. Netflix has secured (likely paid a fortune) to secure exclusive streaming rights this afternoon for the Grand Theft Auto VI: Extended Look before it goes live and FREE for everyone on YouTube later this evening. 

The big announcement from 2-hour Opening Night Live at gamescom came in the form of the first proper trailer for the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past expansion, but CDPR also surprised everyone with the reveal of the The Witcher 3 Remastered. It is set to release as a FREE upgrade to those own the game already. 

Now just over 24 hours away from the official Grand Theft Auto VI Extended Look, and a week of unfortunate leaks by extortionists trying to ruin the game for everyone else, Rockstar has finally issued an official statement on the matter. 

Straight from Opening Night Live at gamescom 2026 in Germany, we now have our very first look at the upcoming Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Songs of the Past expansion. And CD Projekt RED just revealed The Witcher 3: Remastered – it releases on September 29 as a FREE upgrade for existing owners.

It’s that time of year and the biggest games fest on the calendar is set to get underway today with gamescom Opening Night Live. Geoff Keighley is ready to take the stage today to kick off a week’s worth of exclusive new trailers and gameplay from some of the biggest upcoming releases, and the prime time showcase starts at 1:30 p.m. ET. 

The official Nintendo Switch 2 price hike is set to go live in just over a week’s time, and Nintendo has just officially unveiled a pair of new console bundles with the increased sticker. If you’re looking to land a Switch 2 this year, you’ll want to buy one now before the price goes up folks. 

The countdown is on folks – we are just days away from the first look at Grand Theft Auto VI. Well, at least the first official, proper look anyway – if I were you I would stay as far away from any of those horrible low-res leaks as it appears though some huge spoilers from the game could land online any time. 

I urge folks to stay away from these leaks, don’t support these hackers, don’t ruin your own experience, and don’t share them in case you ruin someone else’s.. 

Well, we already knew Take-Two was actively taking legal action against folks leaking the biggest thing in gaming over the last few days, but, based on the latest reports, it has now officially filed several subpoenas with the Southern District Court of New York to secure user data to hunt down the leakers.

Microsoft officially revealed the upcoming and particularly sweet-looking XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition console and controller a couple months ago as part of its giant summer showcase. At the time, Xbox said it would share the price and release date later, but it looks like both have now leaked online.
