'Link's Awakening' on Switch doesn't ruin the formula of an all-time classic
Link's Awakening is a weird Zelda game that wears its quirks on its sleeve. It started life as a port of the SNES title A Link to the Past but morphed into a unique game that debuted on the Game Boy back in 1993. And, 26 years later, it's still an incredibly well-designed action-adventure. Except now it's remade on the Switch, a console that has more than four times the buttons and many more times the power of a Game Boy. Maybe you played Link's Awakening decades ago; perhaps you only started following Link's adventures since The Ocarina of Time or 2017's Breath of the Wild. It doesn't matter: This once-monochrome game holds up.
A 'Home Alone' reboot is coming to Disney+

In the company's third-quarter earnings call this week, Disney's Bob Iger revealed plans to reboot four franchises from its newly-acquired Fox library, including Cheaper By the Dozen, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Night at the Museum and beloved Christmas masterpiece, Home Alone.
The Link’s Awakening remake feels exactly like it should
Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch is a faithful recreation of the original game, except when it's not. Although I remember watching my older brothers playing the original Zelda on their NES, the Game Boy was my first console, and Link's Awakening was my first Zelda. My first RPG, really. I played the game for hours on end, losing myself to the world and its many mysteries. After graduating to bigger and better consoles, I've never returned to Koholint. Until today, when I got a brief look at Nintendo's upcoming remake.
'MediEvil' PS4 trailer previews a reinvented hack-and-slash story
Everything old is new again in gaming these days, including a game about resurrecting an old hero for another adventure. Sony and Other Ocean have released the first trailer for the PS4 remake of MediEvil, the PS1 classic that puts you in the boots of revived knight Sir Daniel Fortesque as he saves the realm from his arch-nemesis Lord Zarok. Much like the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro remakes, the core gameplay and plot are about the only things left untouched. The visuals, sound and cutscenes are much better -- Sir Dan looks more like the skeletal knight you saw on the box than the bundle of polygons from the original.
