Nintendo Directs, ‘Marvel’s Wolverine,’ and ‘The Blood of Dawnwalker’ Reactions

Ben, Matt James, and Polygon‘s Giovanni Colantonio unsheathe their adamantium takes as they tackle the week’s biggest gaming stories. First, they break down Nintendo’s back-to-back Directs and analyze both what was shown and what wasn’t: the new look, hybrid gameplay, and November release date of the Ocarina of Time remake; the exciting announcements and continued absences of some of the company’s flagship franchises; the Switch 2’s upcoming slate; Nintendo’s leak problems, and more. Then they give their spoiler-free reviews of Insomniac’s much-anticipated Wolverine adventure and explain the game’s prerelease controversies and lukewarm reception. Finally, they share their spoiler-free reviews of the Witcher-esque vampire action RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker and assess where it ranks among the best vampire video games.
