Got some new followers from recent Star Fox news (the best reason to gain followers) so let me introduce myself.
I'm a games journalist and part time video game historian with a specific fascination with Star Fox. I make video and documentaries. youtu.be/Ml4xe3SZ8tY?si=N_f-…

Nintendo added Star Fox as a series you can be interested in on the Nintendo Today app. Nice to see it labeled as a Series but that will require a sequel at some point... They haven't developed a new non-Lylat Wars Star Fox in 20 years. Please Nintendo.

Also Nintendo, you don't even need to try that hard. "Somehow Andross Returned" remains a perfectly valid plot for a sequel. The "returned" part is the important part.

Being old enough to clearly remember the dumb Wind Waker backlash, it is wild to watch people be upset about Ocarina of Time getting exactly the art style folks wanted back then.

EarthBound may be beloved now, but it is no secret that it didn't launch to massive sales. Join @jtsknight92 for a deep dive into the marketing and launch of EarthBound in North America. See what worked, what went wrong, and put EarthBound in context. youtu.be/M69F6Vj_DME

When I was on Henry's podcast we spent a long time nerding out over how Wolf in Star Fox Assault moves from rival to surrogate father and IT IS SO GOOD! Glad he put pen to paper on this.

it's rough being the franchise's already dedicated fanbase.
EXCLUSIVE: The new "Stargate" TV series has been axed at Amazon.
The show was first announced with a series order in November 2025 and hailed from showrunner Martin Gero, who was a writer on "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate: Atlantis." Sources say Amazon execs were concerned that Gero's take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise's already dedicated fanbase.

I played Rayman Legends Retold. A game you definitely didn't know existed until today. I have some hesitation with the new art but it is hard to argue with Rayman Legends being a darn good game.

My one concern with the Toy Story Retro Roundup is they seem to be using the PS1 versions for all the 3D platformers. Which are objectively not the best versions and subjectively may be the worst. Rounded floating points for vertices, unfiltered warping textures, yuck.

Oh maybe it's good I didn't get invited. This would have sent me into a frenzy.

Nintendo forced us to play the levels badly so we didn't unlock the expert routes. It was one of the most painful moments of my life.

Not reading any Star Fox previews (want to go in as fresh as possible and Nintendo probably won't give me early code) but given past Star Fox Embargoes for Zero and 2, I'm very curious what this one says. It's always silly stuff like "do not reveal Andross is the villain."
