Hope you enjoy it! Don't get sidetracked by the negative discourse around the game. When it released it was very well received, it was only years, even decades later that YouTubers and critics made it seem like the game wasn't liked because "it wasn't a proper Star Fox game" and "Krystal gets sexualized!" Enjoy the game for what it is!

Back on topic: There were rumors that a new Starfox Adventures games was in development, which would be awesome. Now I'm torn: Is this adding weight to the rumors because them releasing Adventures on NSO shows their commitment to the franchise? Or were the rumors simply wrong and what the leakers heard of was the SFA re-release on NSO? 

Spoiler!

Yep. Star Fox Adventures sequel rumors seem to be heavily corroborated (link leads to a Reddit thread "Everything on the rumored "adventure" Star Fox game, Part II (Massive write-up)" from r/starfox). Malo has a perfect track record so far. Many of his claims were consistent with NateTheHate's big leak back in Spring, and were in fact given prior to Nate. That said, I don't believe SFAdventures coming to NSO is what Malo was referring to. It's a similar situation to Nate leaking Pikmin 4 NS2 Edition, and then we proceeded to get free Pikmin 3 & 4 updates throughout the year; same deal with Fitness Boxing 3 seeming to be the Switch Sports game Nate had leaked, only for it to actually be Switch Sports Resort. I think Nintendo knows about these leaks and does these stunts so as to create this ambiguity among fans... that or they are simply trying to pump up IP prior to big reveals/releases. Probably the latter in all honesty lol.

Also this won't be my first time playing Adventures. This game is actually one of the "big five" I grew up playing (Pikmin 1, Smash Bros Melee, Luigi's Mansion, SSX Tricky, Star Fox Adventures). This will be my first time revisiting it since my childhood though so I am super curious to see if the game is as I remembered it.
