    The Star Fox team is finally BACK after 10 long years and GVG's own Daniel Alba joins this week to give our impressions on the N64 remake. To be quite frank, we're blown away at the amount of heart, polish, technical prowess, and sheer content that is in this new version of the classic Star Fox 64 that we just had to talk about it, along with our thoughts on the surprisingly fun online multiplayer mode and what we see for the future of the series now that Velan Studios has proven their meddle. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as a HUGE price tag for the upcoming Steam Machine (along with a price hike for the Xbox Series X), a new screen potentially coming to a second version of the Switch 2, rumors around the Nintendo theme parks at Universal Studios and much more.
