StarFox Zero looked nice but it was a remake of StarFox 64, which in turn was a remake of the original StarFox on SNES. It really had a feeling of "Been there; done that" but this time with frustrating controls. I hated the controls. I don't want to look away from my TV; I just wanted the classic StarFox control scheme. On the other hand, StarFox Guard, the free pack-in game that came with it, was absolutely delightful.
I just got the physical version on Friday and played it all weekend. I absolutely love it. It was great hearing some familiar voices for the iconic characters. It really feels like a modern take on the 90's beat-'em-up. Great job!
Can we get confirmation of a StarFox Switch 2 game first? As long as we're putting together a wish list for Nintendo, I would like to request new entries for Wave Race, F-Zero, and Wario Land. Thank you.
I clearly don't know how to play this game; I've never been able to get the resources needed to leave the first planet. The updates sound great, though.
Thanks for the review; it's basically what I expected. I'll wait for a sale. The only game I want to play in this collection is X-Men and I don't want to pay $25 for it. I certainly don't want to pay $40 to get a physical version; although I expected LRG to double the digital price like they are for Darwin's Paradox.
@Anti-Matter Seconded! I have thought for a long time that Nintendo needs to make Ratchet & Clank style game; giving it a StarFox flavor is a great idea. I also would like to see Metroid x StarFox.
I played Bomberman 94 on my WiiU and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's disappointing that it isn't available for the Switch. I will be getting this collection; I'm sure I'll enjoy these games too. 🎮💣
I haven't even gotten to Snoozaland yet. Of course, I have been distracted by Dispatch. After my second playthrough exploring the consequences of alternate choices, I will get back to this game.
I've always preferred arcade-style racers; looking for shortcuts and catching crazy air is so much fun. Cruis'n Blast was a welcome blast from the past. I miss San Francisco Rush.
Thanks for this list. I picked up Ape Out, One Shot: World Machine Edition, Subsurface Circular, The Talos Principle, and Jim's personal pick Minit. I also added G-Darius HD to my wishlist for a future sale.
I got the Switch 2 only because my OG Switch died. That's when I learned about micro SD express cards, virtual game cards, and game key cards. I was naive enough to think backwards compatability extended to micro SD cards, and I would just pop my cards in the Switch 2 and keep playing my existing library.
@StarCollector I have enjoyed Animal Well and Star Wars Outlaws. I just got Pizza Tower on sale; it's currently 50% off in the US eshop. As a gamer on a budget, I almost always wait for a sale.
Nintendo will take your comments and then release Metroid Prime Racing. All the characters ride Vi-O-Las and Myles MacKenzie provides constant commentary.

Re: It Sounds Like Peach's Mario Galaxy Movie Backstory Will Be Canon In Future Games
I remember when Luigi was just a palette-swapped green Mario and there was no story.

Re: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Tech Review Of Pragmata On Switch 2
@johnedwin The hair was very distracting in the demo.
@kmtrain83 In space, there is no foliage. (My apologies for butchering the original Alien tagline.)
Re: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Tech Review Of Pragmata On Switch 2
Love the tagline!
Re: Telltale Brings Five-Chapter Sci-Fi Adventure 'The Expanse' To Switch
@sorraks Have you read the books? I'm curious how they compare to the show.
Re: Telltale Brings Five-Chapter Sci-Fi Adventure 'The Expanse' To Switch
@KeeperBvK I highly recommend the show. It's serious sci fi with excellent production values.
Re: Nintendo's GameCube App Has Received A Small Update Today (Version 1.6.1)
@RoboCube I know I've seen the N64 F-Zero in the online service but I don't recall seeing the GameCube iteration. You could be right, though.
Re: Nintendo's GameCube App Has Received A Small Update Today (Version 1.6.1)
We still need the GameCube iterations of Wave Race, F-Zero, and StarFox.
Re: Talking Point: If The Star Fox Rumours Are True, Where The Heck's Our Captain Toad Sequel?
I wouldn't say no to more Captain Toad either...

Re: Mini Review: Beyond Words (Switch) - Addictive In The Best Ways, But Totally Copies Balatro's Homework
I never played Balatro so, with nothing for me to compare it to, the con has no impact on me.

But what does Reggie say?
Re: Pokémon Champions First Details About Price Reportedly Surface
I'll just wait for Wind and Waves.
Re: Review: Marvel Maximum Collection (Switch) - A Decent Nostalgia Cake With A Konami Cherry On Top
Thanks for the review; it's basically what I expected. I'll wait for a sale. The only game I want to play in this collection is X-Men and I don't want to pay $25 for it.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo's 2026 Plans Include New Star Fox & Zelda Remake, No 3D Mario
@Anti-Matter Seconded! I have thought for a long time that Nintendo needs to make Ratchet & Clank style game; giving it a StarFox flavor is a great idea.
I also would like to see Metroid x StarFox.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Have Kept The Mario Galaxy Movie Fox Reveal Under Wraps?

Dispatch and Bomberman for me
Re: Super Bomberman Collection Out Now On eShop, Full Cart Release Coming In August

Re: Nintendo Explains Why Switch Games Are Still Getting Free Updates
Switch 2 feels less like a successor and more like the Switch Pro that was rumored for years.

Re: ICYMI: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Is Now Coming To Cinemas Two Days Earlier
I would have been skeptical if this was announced April 1.
Re: Random: Mario Wonder's New Box Art Might Be The Ugliest 'Switch 2 Edition' Cover Yet
Ironically, the wall of text at the bottom of the box does not make it clear that this Switch 2 cartridge will also work on an OG Switch.
Re: PSA: Switch 2 Visual And Performance Improvements Included In New Rocket League Update
@PKDuckman I am wondering the same thing. I guess I'm going to have to pop in my cartridge and find out.
