โOcarina of Time came out on November 21st, 1998. At around that time I was working on finishing up Smash Bros that was due out in January. I was at the Nintendo Kyoto headquarters for a meeting to prepare for its launch, and I bought it on my way home.โ

Square Enix Producer Yoshi-P doesn't see the need for new hardware right now.
"When I look at things from a gamerโs perspective, I feel that there's no real need to make new hardware, because I think right now people are happy with the Xbox Series X, the PS5 or the Switch 2. And honestly, from a gamerโs perspective as well, hardware is just expensive to buy."
