Metroid Prime 4: Beyond looks great, actually. youtu.be/gVB5XnbjVEs?...

I found out in #FastFusion that if you go through the finish line sign, you get extra boost\coins. Nice details.

Little Falco stealing my bogeys

No wonder they didn’t invite me back to write this one 😅 (Joking aside, whoever’s doing RE9 I wish them all success. Working with Capcom on Village was enormous fun, and a highlight of my games career)
