It’s 107 degrees and the food is super expensive, and this is the farthest west I’ve gone (so far). Very cool.

And bonus one:

Why would they do this?

They would do it as an honest attempt to bring Star Fox back from the dead. Upon first impression, I did not like the new art style for Star Fox at all. They seemed intentionally designed to be unappealing and somewhat grotesque. The new designs are very opinionated, but now I think that’s very respectable. I don’t mind the designs anymore, but I believe the Illumination movie version design was a lot better. Other than the character art style, the game looks gorgeous at least. Nintendo really put a lot of money on it. The new cutscenes seem extensive and the online multiplayer mode could be interesting. I wish it was a remake of SNES Star Fox, since that one is the hardest to go back to, but it looks like a lot of work was put into it. Also, since this is a remake of Star Fox 64, which was a remake of SNES’s Star Fox, let’s see: 1. 64 2. 3DS 3. Zero 4. Switch 2 So counting SNES, it’s 5 versions of the same game.

I admit, it is a nice feeling being pandered to. This movie heavily pandered to me during its entire run, filled with a never-ending barrage of expertly animated and produced nostalgia-bait. However, that got old around the halfway mark, and the movie shows you for what it is; a collection of short comedy skits that are only slightly connected to each other, with their only purpose being to show you something you liked about Nintendo videogames, a bunch of jokes featuring those things, and then ending it with a Smash Bros-style fight scene. It's like having someone else play a really pretty remake of the best Mario games ever made. It's nice to see, nice to hear, but there is no substance at all, because you aren't playing it. This is a movie, there should have been a story, a narrative, something to make this movie watchable to anyone who *didn't* grow up with these games, but that is not the case. Illumination did improve in various aspects compared to the previous m...
