The DayOne Show | A Video Games Podcast

Jon, Nick and Jesse return to talk Zelda, Winhanced and more in the DayOne Show Episode 338, available now, on-demand for your earholes and eyeholes.
This week, the lions share of attention is on Nintendo's excellent 'Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time' Remake, which we expect to have a review up for at some point later this week in a combined effort between Nick and Aarsal. The short version is Nintendo have done an amazing job, and revisiting this childhood classic has been a wonderful experience all around. If you're a DayOne Member, you can check out Jon playing the first few hours here.
Outside of that, Jesse's time has been focused mostly on our 6th Annual Extra Life Livestream, raising money for the Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital of Clearwater, Florida. The community as always did an excellent job in helping raise cash for charity, and you're all incredible people.
Lastly, we spend a lot of time checking out Winhanced, a replacement application for Xbox Mode on handhelds (and PC/Laptop, if that's your thing) that does a remarkable job at beating Microsoft at many of the things users want to see. It's free, it's really impressive, and if you're rocking a handheld gaming PC, it's worth checking out.
On the news front, we dive into some of the biggest topics of the week, from Ubisoft being reportedly interested in purchasing Arkane Lyon, to the various financial reports coming out of both Sony and Nintendo. God of War: Laufey is delayed until May next year, giving Fable room to breathe, we take a peek at the Xbox Nano controller, and lots more.
As always, thank you to everyone who supports us directly, and we hope you enjoy the show.
