04:12 - Part 1 Pro

08:08 - Part 2 Cons  

12:42 - Overall 

Pro

Visuals & Gameplay still hold up well

The ability to use the Pro Controllers is nice (especially since you don’t need motion controls for some commands)

Finally, we get to play Mario Galaxy 2

Cons  

Mario Galaxy 2 difficulty could turn some folks away

Having to rest the pointer with the R button

Would have been nice to improve/update the camera in both games

My review/thoughts on season 3 of Spy X Family & season 2 of Amazon Prime Video Fallout

Tag for this video: #briansolow #tvshow #tvshowreview #spyxfamily #fallout #hulu #amazonprimevideo #review 

Note to Parents: Spy X Family is rated TV-PG here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13706018/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Spy X Family cast & crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13706018/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_at_pop_cst

Number of episodes (Spy X Family season 3) - 13

Runtime for each episode (Spy X Family season 3) - 24 Minutes

Note to Parents: Fallout is rated TV-MA here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12637874/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Fallout Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12637874/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_ql_1

Number of episodes (Fallout season 2) - 8

Runtime for each episode (Fallout season 2) - Around 49 minutes to 1 hour

00:00 - Intro

01:12 - Part 1 Spy X Family season 3

02:08 - What I like (Spy X Family)

05:12 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Spy X Family)

07:14 - Overall (Spy X Family)

08:52 - Part 2 Fallout season 2

10:22 - What I like (Fallout)

13:18 - What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure

16:06 - Overall (Fallout)

What I like (Spy X Family)

I like that we got to see a bit of Loid (aka Twilight) past (Episode 2 Avoid Getting Tonitrus Bolts & Episode 3 XXXX’s Memories)

I also like the bus jacking episode (Episode 7 The Red Circus & Episode 8 Take Down the Busjacker) & the situation with Wise agents' info almost getting out (Episode 11 Extreme Level 3 Situation & Episode 12 Battle to the Death in the Sewers) 

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Spy X Family)

Didn’t get to see much of Yor in action

I was somewhat hoping that a cliffhanger would happen at the end of season 3 (like Yuri finding out Twilight's identity)

What I like (Fallout)

I like the idea of Lucy & The Ghoul trying to work together

We finally got to see the NCR (New California Republic) & The Legion in action (love how they use Fallout New Vegas as the setting for season 2) 

I like the idea of the Brotherhood of Steel engaging in a civil war

What I don’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Fallout)

I’m mixed on Macaulay Culkin's character, Lacerta Legate

I’m also mixed on the ending of season 2

Pro

Art style in the game looks good (along with the music)

Metroidvania-style gameplay & combat

Cons

Backtracking might be annoying to some

Difficulty might turn some folks away (though not on the same scale as Ninja Gaiden)

State of Play

https://gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2026/02/12/everything-announced-at-the-february-playstation-state-of-play

What I like

A sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits is announced, called Kena: Scars of Kosmora

Legacy of Kain: Defiance announced

Brigandine Abyss looks interesting

Control: Resonant looks interesting

Rayman's 30th anniversary is real

Project Windless looks weird but interesting

Konami came out swinging with MGS collection vol. 2, Darwin’s Paradox, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Rev. Noir & Silent Hill Townfall 

A God of War prequel (Sons of Sparta) & a remake of the original trilogy

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

I would have liked to see a bit more 1st part games at this State of Play

Nice that Ghost of Yotei is getting some DLC, but I would have preferred story/single player dlc instead

What I like

Square Enix shows its support with The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales & Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Capcom shows its support as well with Monster Hunters Stories 3, Pragmata & Resident Evil Requiem (with amiibo out this summer)

Tokyo Scramble looks interesting

Falcom Kyoto Xanadu looks interesting

Nice to see Ganblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Rangnarok & Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn Edition are coming to Switch 2

Bethesda shows us Oblivion Remastered, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (now confirmed to be in a Switch 2 cart) & Fallout 4 on Switch 2

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure 

While Bethesda's announcements were good, some games (like Doom The Dark Ages) were missing (not to mention Fallout 4 & Oblivion Remastered are a code in a box)

Missed opportunity for Microsoft (outside of Bethesda) to show some of their games for the Switch 2. 

Knowing that a majority of 3rd parties games on Switch 2 will either be a game key card or code in a box (code in a box is the worst)

No real “WOW” moment for this direct (since most of these games a lot of folks knew they were coming to the Switch 2)

For this week, my 2 Cents Nintendo/Gaming video for the week of January 18 to 24, 2026, I give my thoughts on a possibility that a Resident Evil Code: Veronica (along with 5) could happen, Borderlands 4 could finally get a release date on Switch 2, Circana numbers for December 2025 are out & 2026 Xbox Developers Direct

Pro

Visuals and gameplay/combat still hold up well

Runs fine at 30fps

The open-world part is still enjoyable

The online part isn’t bad

Cons

While the visuals are an improvement over the WiiU version, it still doesn’t look as good as Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, & 3 (1 being a remastered/remake of the Wii version)

The arts combat is still good, but it would have been nice if given the option to change the arts combat to the ones used in 2 & 3

No Switch 2 enhancement so far

Some missions felt like I was stuck until I turned on the online mode

My take on season 13 of Futurama & Season 1 of Marvel Zombie

My review/thoughts on season 13 (or 3) of Hulu Futurama & season 1 of Disney+ Marvel Zombie

Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #review #tvshow #tvshowreview #disneyplus #marveltelevision #marvelstudios #marvelzombie #hulu #futurama 

Note to Parents: Futurama is rated TV-MA here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149460/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Note to Parents: Marvel Zombie is rated TV-MA here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16027014/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Number of episodes for Futurama: 10

Number of episodes for Marvel Zombie - 4

Runtime for each episode (Futurama) - 22 to 25 minutes

Runtime for each episode (Marvel Zombie) - 28 to 30 minutes

00:00 - Intro

01:08 - Part 1 Futurama

02:20 - What I like (Futurama)

05:42 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Futurama)

06:38 - Overall (Futurama)

08:10 - Part 2 Marvel Zombies 

10:54 - What I like (Marvel Zombie)

13:52 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Marvel Zombie)

15:40 - Overall (MarvelZombie)

What I like (Futurama)

Destroy Tall Monsters, The Numberland Gap, Murderoni, Wicked Human & The White Hole were my favorite episodes for this season

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Futurama)

It would have been nice to see what was behind the white hole in episode 10 (The White Hole)

What I like (Marvel Zombie)

I like the idea of seeing most of the Marvel heroes & villains being turned into zombies

We finally get to see Blade in action (in some form and voice by Todd Williams, not Mahershala Ali)

I like the idea of The Nova Corps Quarantine Earth

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (Marvel Zombie)

Don’t go expecting to scare like in other zombie/horror show/movies (28 series, Dawn of the Dead, and so on)

Story is a hit & miss for me

00:00 - Intro

03:58 - Part 1 Pro

07:48 - Part 2 Cons

10:02 - Overall

Pro

I like some of the retro look to the game (feels like if Ninja Gaiden was a 16-bit game)

Classic 2-D platforming (though not as frustrating as the NES Ninja Gaiden game was)

Now runs at 60fps

Cons

Difficulty spike might turn some folks away (though there is an assist mode)

No Switch 2 enhancement
