Between this and Pokemon Snap, seeing my favourite Pokemon in 3D was incredible at the time. From a gameplay perspective, it’s pretty limited. No story, just a series of tournament style ladders, and god help you if you didn’t import your own Pokemon from the Game Boy cartridges. The mini-games were pretty fun playing with a friend but also quite limited.
I don’t want to even want to try to quantify how many hours I put into this game as a kid. The Nintendo 64 was designed for kids to enjoy in large groups and this was the multiplayer game that my friends all wanted to play. Funny that this franchise is one of Nintendo’s best selling today.
In 1998, this was it, this was the probably the best game Nintendo had ever made up until that point. Today, like all Nintendo 64 games, the outdated graphics and limitations of the tech just make this a tough game to replay in a modern setting. Seems like a no-brainer to simply remake Ocarina in HD for Switch, not sure what Nintendo is waiting for.
