A few days late, but a couple of my faves were looking spiffy in the Pokopia update trailer. Maybe I'll finally get around to picking up a copy if I get bored prior to the Ocarina remake's release!

Also, as an update, the new Lazy Shell album was meant to come out this weekend, but hasn't been reviewed for cover license rights yet, so we're still waiting on that for an indeterminate time for the time being. Will definitely be sharing that around once it's out!
