Reports say the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is the UK's second-biggest Zelda launch in history based on physical sales. NielsenIQ retail data shows the opening week was 35% larger than the launch of Breath of the Wild, though it reached roughly half the physical sales of Tears of the Kingdom. The game is the biggest boxed launch in the UK for 2026 so far, placing it ahead of 2026 releases like Resident Evil, Call of Duty, and EA Sports FC. These physical figures do not include digital downloads. Nintendo has not published its own sales numbers.

The Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake launched on November 5, 2026, as a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. It is a full rebuild of the original game featuring high-definition graphics and a reworked camera and control system. Reviewers mentioned a "Threads of Time" tool to check objectives alongside a "Hall of Fallen Foes" option for rematches. Reviewers also noted that players can use humming or voice input to play ocarina music.

Famitsu also published scores for Prinny Party. The game is a board game set in the Disgaea series world that combines RPG-style character development with battles. It includes mechanics for facility synthesis and a "throw" command used to move enemies or opponents. Reviewers noted that online support varies depending on the platform.
