Legend of Zelda Producer Teased Link’s Awakening Remake Back in 2016
Despite its official reveal seemingly coming from out of nowhere in February of this year, it turns out Nintendo teased its The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake three years ago without anybody catching on.
In a 2016 interview with Edge Magazine (as spotted by Nintendo Insider), Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma said Nintendo was telling him to make more Zelda games, then explained “I can’t really share much; I’m not sure I’m allowed to say anything. But I really like the idea of a game where I can live as a thief. That’s all I’ll say.”

The new colors will be available in September for $65 USD, according to PlayStation Blog.

Groups Are Picking Off Individuals In Apex Legends’ New Solo Mode
Apex Legends has introduced a new solo mode that swaps team-based gameplay for the classic battle royale single-player free-for-all, but some players are reporting trouble.
The issue lies with "teaming" - the practice of ignoring the rules and grouping up with other players to pick off the rest of the match's competitors. One video from a Reddit user clearly shows a duo putting an end to a player's killstreak during a solo run.
Another commented, "Encountered teamers too few minutes ago...Dude was actually pinging the enemies but of course his buddy wouldn't be able to see his ping. They won the game. They were just trickshotting each other and s*** at the end."
To test whether people are really cheating the system, Eurogamer tried "queue sniping" (where simultaneously readying up with a pal makes it more likely you'll be matched in the same solo lobby) and sure enough found they dropped into the same solo game "four out of the five times we tried."

A Hat in Time Gets Nintendo Switch Release Date, Extras
A Hat in Time, the adorable throwback to '90s-era 3D platformers like Banjo Kazooie, arrived on PC, PS4, and Xbox One back in 2017. We gave it a great review score. A Nintendo Switch version was announced in 2018, and now we can finally reveal that A Hat in Time will arrive on Nintendo's latest console on October 18th, 2019. Pre-orders for A Hat in Time on Nintendo Switch should be up on Amazon by the time you read this.
Developer Gears for Breakfast conceived A Hat in Time as an homage to Nintendo 64 and PlayStation-era platformers that involved a lot of item collecting. An extremely successful Kickstarter campaign indicated there is still a demand for these types of adventures. It was revealed late last year that A Hat in Time had sold over a million copies.
Why This Year’s Pokemon TCG World Championships Will Be Extra Challenging for Players
This weekend will see hundreds of players from around the globe descend on Washington, D.C. to compete in the Pokemon World Championships 2019. The Pokemon Trading Card Game part of the event is of special note for having the largest cash prize, with $25,000 going to the winner of the Masters division, so players can expect fierce competition as they battle their way to the top. However, due to some unexpected shakeups heading into the contest, this year’s Worlds will be especially challenging for players.
The cause of all this tumult stems from the set rotation announced for the upcoming 2019-2020 competitive season. Normally, older cards are rotated out to make room for the new after Worlds, but this year The Pokemon Company International threw a curveball so Worlds will be the first event to use the new format and a brand new set, Unified Minds. Players usually depend on getting to practice their decks in big tournaments leading up to Worlds, but this changeup means there will be no major events to give them an idea of what the Worlds metagame will look like. There’s no data to analyze and no decklists to study, at least not in an official capacity.
