Entertainment, Gaming, ReportNostalgia remains a powerful force. So much so that, in exploring the echoes of a late-'90s childhood spent skimming the water of Corneria and sneering "cocky little freaks!" in time with a monkey encased in a Gundam suit, I'm simultaneously describing playing Star Fox 64 ( Lylat Wars if you're nasty) in 1997 and streaming it through Nintendo Switch Online today. The franchise has been revived through a splashy remake on the Switch 2 , but it's also a series that has not seen an all-new entry since Star Fox Zero on the Wii U. Yet Nintendo's neglect of the

That might sound like a limited constraint. But the simplicity gives solo developer Dan DiIorio, better known as TrampolineTales, lots of room to play with clever ideas. Over the course of a few hours, the game never stopped surprising me. Puzzle clues come in several different formats.
