I love this podcast so much! I just had a funny thought, and I mean this in the best way possible but, Kyle looks like a regional variant of Brian, just saying lol.

[@brianpshea]

Haha Thank you so much! And that's hilarious. We'll need to start calling Kyle "Alolan Brian" around the Game Informer office.

The 60 dollar price point on a remaster is kinda tough if there isn't a ton of new content. A new coat of paint is fine I guess but I'm not gonna drop 60 dollars on an old game with new paint and no new content to speak of. I did buy Metroid Prime remastered in physical form and Link's awakening in physical too (even though I played those back in the day). However, I won't be buying Luigi's Mansion 2, DKC returns, and Paper Mario TTYD due to the price. Unless of course my kids really want those games 😂
