@Bomberman told me about this... and @targetrasp mentioned it in his Star Fox Nintendo Switch 2 post.  Bomberman was supposed to post it and the direct.  Looks like this pre-order is open!  I'm pumped for this game... and make sure to check out targetrasp's post.  This is a remake of Star Fox 64!  I've had a TON of fun with Star Fox 64 and this game is looking really good.

@targetrasp  --> @MegaDrive20XX got it... not sure if he'll post up about it.  He was telling me a little about it.  He said it looks really good and is crisp.  He stated in one of his message that Wario Land on the Virtual Boy is really great.  Mega --> If you read this, post it up man!  :great:

I have not picked it up yet.  I am thinking about it - Just that part of spending money right now is holding me back lol.  We had a few recent necessary major cash outlays.  I have not stopped all spending, but we are building back up a bit.

@targetrasp - I stopped reading all review sites.  I get tired of those sites taking away enjoyment.  Maybe they're right, maybe they're not... I want to find out on my own.  This really has helped the bummers and not enjoying certain movies and games.  I get it with the current prices that people don't want to chance it though.  That makes sense.  For me, Games, Movies... and other things (music)... I used to just try it.  There was a magic in the past of finding something you really liked and wading through stuff that was meh.  It seemed more magical. These days, again, I get people don't want to just spend money to randomly find things out

Did anyone get this, I completely forgot about it, may have to check if some are still available, it's a shelf piece even if I never touch it.

You buy the bundle with the Switch 2 before prices go up again!

It came with my Switch 2 on an Amazon bundle when I heard tale of Nintendo pumping prices again. I wouldn't have bought the game alone, and honestly the bundle was an impulse buy. I share the rest of the world's disappointment at the decision to not include it with Galaxy 1 previously.

Finally, can answer this without pessimism!

Starfox and The Adventures of Elliott: The Millennium Tales. Starfox is 100% a preorder, Adventures of Elliot is 80% so far. Its hard to pay 60 for that kind of game, but its a pixelated Square ARPG, which check a lot of boxes when I'm making purchase decisions.

Amazon has Starfox on sale for 49.99 at the moment

PAC-MAN - who hasn't!?

Mendel Palace - As a kid I saw the advertisements and recall being sorely confused, was expecting more action and less Lolo, may be something I could appreciate now

Tower of Druaga - I have zero recollection of this title. Seems like there's an Anime for 20 years ago with the same name? Leads me to believe this one went hard in Japan but didn't translate well in the West. The cover art even looks Famicom-y

Starfox seemed like a surprise drop on a recent Nintendo Direct, and it's coming out June 25th. I don't think it's an entirely new game. It sounds like the old game with fully fleshed out voice overs, music and graphics. From what little I saw, I didn't recognize it as a remaster as the graphichs overhaul changed the look and feel that much. I'm pretty excited for this one and will preorder. Its on amazon right now for 49.99, if @BLUEVOODU would put up an affiliate link I'll be sure he gets the commission, although I could probably just click another of the links and search from there. I think it's a percentage of everything added to the cart within a day or so

kinda wish I didn't read the Rotten Tomatoes reviews.

Even the positive reviews are full of left-handed compliments akin to "good for what it is."

I know the internet hates on Disney and Disney has been throwing some slow underhanded pitches for the net nerds to swing at, but I really want to experience some of that star wars magic pre internet taint, then make my own judgment. In all fairness it is trailing Solo, which gives me almost no hope.
