Nintendo has had a platformer series they have been keeping from us for years.
Stafi? Stafy? Starfi? Starfy? Who the fuck knows? All I do know is that we are finally getting a North American release of a popular 1st party Nintendo series that has been around for years in Japan. This stood out for me as one of the few interesting releases on Nitendo's giant fucking list of...
