Final Fantasy VII: Remake on Switch 2 really does look good.
I toggled between my Switch 2 and PC HDMI inputs at the same spot in the game and, with the exception of the frame rate, it’s hard to tell much of a difference.

After beating Prime 4, I went back and played Prime 1 a little.
Two differences jumped out:
1. Levels are more room-based. A limitation of the GameCube, but it contributes greatly to the feel of the levels.
2. It strikes that creepy alien note much harder. Spooky, unexplained sounds, etc.

Finally saw The Super Mario Bros. movie.
I liked it!
The soundtrack in particular had so many great melodies from the games woven in.

Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
It’s a gorgeous, enjoyable Prime first-person adventure for the Switch 2 era.
The environments are beautiful and the boss battles are fun.
It does not have the complex yet satisfying labyrinthian levels of Prime 1/2 but is likely more approachable for new players.

The Sylux amiibo unlocks a movie that is otherwise only available with a 100% completion.
Until that point, it just, um … says menacing lines straight from 1930s sci-fi pulp fiction.
“I cannot be stopped!”

Nintendo published a Metroid Prime 4 “World Databook”, sort of like a PDF of the types of manuals that used to come in the box.
Cool!
