Unlockables: The Story of Video Games

Ocarina of Time Reignites the Remake Debate

An Ocarina of Time remake is no longer rumor, it is inevitable. At the most recent Nintendo Direct it was confirmed in a brief teaser trailer that the long rumored remake of the legendary N64 title is indeed real, and will be out later in 2026. But what does this mean? Should Nintendo completely remake Ocarina? Or are some games too important to be touched? I don't know. But I have a podcast, so I'm going to ramble about it anyways.

Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green Felt Like Home

I've played through Kanto and the original Pokémon adventure dozens of times. But this time, the playthrough felt different, and had me thinking a lot about how my relationship with the series has changed as I've grown up. Follow the Unlockables on Bluesky!

Pokémon Legends Z-A and Wanting Pokémon To Grow Up

Pokémon Legends Z-A asked a question that I was genuinely interested in. So of course this sent me into an existential crisis. What do you do when that happens? Podcast about it of course. This episode is my attempt to make sense of my feelings towards Legends Z-A, the series in general and the unstoppable passage of time. Follow the Unlockables on Bluesky!
