DO A BARREL ROLL..... Into a dissappointment

from NerdNOut Hosted by Duke Savage

Nintendo just pulled the curtain back on Star Fox for the Switch 2, but fans are completely divided. Why are we remaking Star Fox 64 for the fourth time, and why does Fox McCloud look like a cursed taxidermy project compared to his flawless cameo in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie? Ronin breaks down the hardware "stress test" theory, the rumors of optional DLC classic controls, and whether Nintendo is just playing it too safe. Then, we pivot to the box office juggernaut Michael. With the first film ending on a sanitized "To Be Continued" note, the upcoming sequel is diving straight into the dark corporate warfare of the 90s. We fact-check the incredible $1.2 billion Sony catalog deal, the 1984 Pepsi tragedy, and the wild intelligence-community theories surrounding MJ’s global influence. Is the fandom actually ready for a psychological tragedy? Let’s talk about it.
