There might be a Nintendo Direct specific to this game soon. Remember they did a Star Fox Direct out of nowhere to present that game.

Yeah, lots of third party stuff, but it felt meh for me too. It’s a shame that the Ocarina of Time remake had been leaked. I wish I could avoid leaks, I really don’t get why anyone needs or wants to know stuff in advance. The highlight for me was the free demo for Star Fox 😁 (I left my Switch 2 downloading it). The DK Challenges sound interesting too, I’ll check that out.

Happy cake day!

It’s very similar, but there’s some more footage.

Digital editions of each will be available, but there’ll also be a physical release “Toy Story: Retro Roundup! + Toy Story 3 Complete Edition Double Pack”:

I think it’s definitely worth it. I played and finished Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers 2. It’s pretty short, I think it took just about an hour. I also played a bit of Goof Troop and Bonkers. I had never played Bonkers before and for a Capcom game, it’s a bit disappointing.

Hopefully some more Bubsy 4D on Switch 2 and Top Gear Rally 2 on Analogue 3D this weekend. I received the physical version of Disney Afternoon Collection for Switch today, so I’ll try to play some of that too. I played most of these games already when I was a kid. I had Chip N’ Dale (but lost it) and own Duck Tales on the NES (played the remaster on Wii U too). The rest I either rented or played at friends’ houses, so it’ll be fun to go back to replay them and see how many I can finish.

I don’t know if it came from the community, but the idea of Tetris 99 is great. The adrenaline of being one of the last players on the board and having all these pieces falling down, trying to survive while you attempt to attack other players… Pure magic! 😆

The Analogue 3D is great! I got a black one in the first wave. Of course as soon as I received it (after months of delays and no communication from Analogue), they announced the color editions. But I don’t mind, I like it as it looks similar to my original N64. The overclocking is great and they added save states with the latest firmware update, so it’s amazing.

Bubsy 4D is fun! I’m only on the second world, but it’s been good so far. I think it’s aimed at replaying to discover all the yarn balls and blueprints and speedrunning. But I take my time exploring each stage once, and still find it entertaining.

This week I started a new career in Top Gear Rally 2 for the Nintendo 64 on the Analogue 3D. I had this game when I was younger and going back to it now, I was impressed that it felt like riding a bike. I hadn’t played in so many years, yet I felt back at home. I’ll probably finish this career eventually before I move on to any other N64 game.

On Switch 2 I got the physical edition of Bubsy 4D this week. I had played the demo and it convinced me to buy it. I haven’t had enough time to get into the main game yet. So I’m hoping to get some gaming hours this weekend with Bubsy.

Did anyone here get this? I’ll get it eventually, it’s full game on the cart (Bethesda Y U NO do this for all games?) and I do really like Indiana Jones movies.

Me too. I’m really hoping this is the proper reboot they attempted to do with Zero and we start seeing more Star Fox!

Yes, but the importance given to the prologue could be hinting at more. Maybe we’ll be able to play some missions with James McCloud in the past. Maybe there’s more development on what happened to him once you finish the game. Maybe in this version, you rescue him in Venom. Or maybe:

Who knows. I think it’s cool we’re getting more cinematic stuff with this saga anyway!

I doubt this will be “just a remake” 🤔

And also when Switch 2 has just nothing going for it.

Everything can’t appeal to everyone all the time and that’s ok. For me, playing Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild at 60fps was worth it. I loved Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Cyberpunk 2077 and Donkey Kong Bananza. I enjoyed Metroid Prime 4 too, I haven’t tried it on the Switch 1, but it looks and runs amazing on the Switch 2.

I do agree the design of the Switch 2 is very conservative, even compared to the colored joycons of the first one. But that’s what made sense to them to make after the success of Switch 1. There’s still some quirkiness there with the mouse controls and the Virtual Boy accessory (whether this last one is worth it or not, is a different discussion, and also the ownership of the games…). They didn’t have to do a reproduction of one of their biggest flops so you can play it with the Switch, yet they did.

The Game Cube is awesome, quirky and looks amazing, but it didn’t sell well at the time.

They’ve been on a cycle, they’re the most creative when they’re not doing well (Game Cube to Wii, Wii U to Switch). I don’t believe they’ll just go into PlayStation mode and keep releasing Nintendo Switch 3, 4, but we’ll see.

It’s fine if the Switch 2 is not for you. Maybe eventually a new 3D Mario or a new Zelda will get you excited, maybe you’re over Nintendo and that’s ok. But for some of us, the Nintendo Switch 2 has a lot going for it and we’re really enjoying it.

Assault is such an underrated title. While watching this trailer I imagined what if they remade Assault after this?! (And hopefully new titles in the future…)

Yes! This is my hope too. A reboot to start making new games with this style in the future 🙌 And I’ve played Star Fox 64 a lot, but I’m definitely getting this one. It looks amazing!

My hope is this is a reboot to hopefully start making new titles in the same style after this. What they probably wanted to do with Star Fox Zero, but the Wii U failed miserably.

That’s nice! Was your child excited? I’m really looking forward to this and am happy we don’t have to wait too long 😁

Well, that was a fecking delight! Star Fox is out on Nintendo Switch 2 June 25th. A remake of Star Fox 64 with redesigned graphics and new features.
