Metacritic score for the Switch 2 remake

96/100 critic Metascore. As reported on 11 November 2026, this is the aggregate critic score for the 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 remake, not the original Nintendo 64 release. Scores can change as more reviews are added. See the Metacritic game page and VGC's score report.

What Nintendo announced

Nintendo reported the milestone on 11 November, measuring the four days following the game's worldwide release on 5 November. Its total includes physical copies and digital downloads. The company says the remake has set the fastest launch pace for a Nintendo-published Nintendo Switch 2 game. That qualification matters: it is not a claim about every game from every publisher or lifetime sales.

The release brings the 1998 Nintendo 64 adventure to Switch 2 as a remake. The sales announcement is part of Nintendo's celebration of 40 years of The Legend of Zelda series.

What the record covers

Read the number precisely

“Over 5.2 million” is a reported unit-sales total for the first four days, not a revenue figure. The 810,000 Japan figure is included in the worldwide total. Nintendo has not provided an Egypt-specific sales total in this announcement.

A strong opening shows demand for the new release, but it does not tell us how many physical copies are available at any particular shop today. Stock, game region, format and the EGP price depend on the exact listing.

What it means for players in Egypt

If you are considering the game, first confirm that you have a Nintendo Switch 2 and check whether the listing is a physical game card or a download. Check the current EGP price and stock on the exact product page before ordering. You can browse Nintendo Switch 2 items at GamerZ Lounge; availability can change.
