What I like (Star Fox)

Visually, the game looks good on the Switch 2 (despite some mixed responses to the character model)

Classic Star Fox gameplay returns

An optional control scheme this time around

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

Another remake of Star Fox 64

Part 4 FF7 Rebirth

Me playing the Demo - https://youtu.be/f_8pYS6QlTw

What I Like (FF7 Rebirth)

Like FF7 Remake, gameplay/combat is enjoyable

The game is running well on Switch 2 (even at 30fps)

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure (FF7 Rebirth)

Although Switch 2 DLSS helps the visuals do take a hit (Some parts are ok, others are not)

Some pop in here and there

09:42 - Part 2 Cons

14:04 - Overall

Pro

Visually, the game looks good (and the music is awesome)

Runs well at 60fps (120fps mode is available)

Gameplay still holds up (it also controls well, too)

Cons

The story is a hit and a miss.

Mix on the use of the Vi-O-La (the motorcycle) and the somewhat open world part

A lot of controversy on the amiibo for this game - https://www.ign.com/articles/metroid-prime-4-beyonds-30-amiibo-sparks-exclusive-bike-radio-backlash

My review/thoughts on season 1 of Disney+'s Wonder Man

Tag for this video: #briansolow #gamer55551 #gaming #review #tvshow #tvshowreview #disneyplus  #marvelstudios #marvelcinematicuniverse #marveltelevision #mcu 

Note to Parents: Wonder Man is rated TV-14 here in the USA - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21066182/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_pl_pg

Cast & Crew - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21066182/fullcredits/?ref_=ttpg_ov_at_pop_cst

Number of episodes - 8

Runtime for each episode - 30 to 32 minutes

00:00 - Intro

02:58 - What I like

05:54 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

07:30 - Overall

What I like

The concept is interesting (I like the indie vibe to the show)

Ben Kingsley still knocks it out as Trevor Slattery (so does Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams)

I like how we spent some brief moments with Simon's powers

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Mixed on episode 4 (Doorman)

Some may or may not like this approach for a Marvel Television show

05:12 - What I like 

09:48 - What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

11:40 - Overall 

What I like 

Tons of references to past Mario & Nintendo games

Glen Powell really knocks it out of the park as Fox McCloud

The Story (in my view) is definitely an improvement over the first film

What I didn’t like/Mix/Not Sure

Don’t go into this movie expecting a deep, rich story

Feels like Fox McCloud didn’t get as much screen time compared to Donkey Kong did in the first film

I would have loved to see more of Wart (Luis Guzman)

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

Cons

Not much has changed from the past Hyrule Warriors game.s

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

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)
