I remember when they kickstarted Oceanhorn as a Souls like and I was a bit surprised to see it come out as a short-form 3d zelda thing. I think I even played the very first playable demo. I don’t remember it being good but it was very early days.

I played like 2 hours of oceanhorn on PC and thought it was surgically boring, a perfect example of the “i want more of this game (wind waker) so i will apply my limited budget and skill to making an unbranded sequel” syndrome that still haunts these small- to mid-sized game studios and results in the mushiest possible experience that is neither as good as the original nor nostalgic enough for me to overlook its flaws
I may have been expecting too much from it.

Good to hear, with this and the Moon remake there is a lot of ex-Love-de-lic love going around.
Is this the first vidcon from Oink Games?
Apparently they have a handful of phone games (seem to be Apple device/iOS only/on that Apple Arcade platform) mixed in among card/tabletop games

Nintendo has so much good will right now that they probably won’t make genuinely fun games for at least 5 years
