Have you ever found yourself playing GTA5 and thought to yourself, "You know what would make this better? An Arwing!" Well, I have some good news. A fully flyable Arwing mod for Grand Theft Auto 5 is available. In addition to flight, it can shoot two different kinds of weapons.

If you want to play something a bit more relaxing, you can fly the Great Fox mod for GTA5. It moves a bit slower and has no weapons (that I know of anyway).

Both mods were made by KAFAROS, who frequently makes custom mods for GTA5. Maybe you can convince him to put Krystal in the game, for the right price. Both videos by LemonadeGamingHD.

Here's a quick digital speedpaint of Krystal. Unfortunately, Cielo (the artist) has not posted the finished piece anywhere that I can find. Here's her gallery, though.

In another mod posted via GAMEBANANA, modder TheAggrivator has restarted work to fully add Adventures Krystal to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The mod will skin over Fox rather than Zero Suit Samus as in the NEOFilly Mod. It looks like the mod will be a bit more detailed than a simple skin swap. Additionally, this mod will eventually come with a custom Character Select Screen profile and possibly custom Krystal sound effects/voice acting.

The mod is still in development, but progressing rapidly. Keep an eye on the project page for more details as they become available.

Thanks to Smokey for the heads up.

Speaking of Krystal in Smash Bros, we've got some interesting projects going on at GAMEBANANA, a gaming mod community.

First up, there is a skin available for Super Smash Bros (Wii U) that replaces Zero Suit Samus's mesh with that of Krystal from Star Fox Assault. Creator NEOFilly says that although the skin doesn't have facial or finger animations working, the skin is passable for use right now. It was NEOFilly's first mod. Visit the skin page for more photos and the download link.

64iOS even made a video showcasing this skin (and a few others). You can see from the video another area that could use some improvement: the tail has no physics, which makes sense as Samus doesn't have a tail.

Thanks to Smokey for the heads up.

Designer Ignatius was once a big-time Papercraft maker who made a Krystal papercraft. Unfortunately, his website went down a long time ago (archive here). He actually made two Krystal papercrafts, this being the second one. Unfortunately, the original one appears to be lost to history.

FORTUNATELY, the download for the second, more complete version is still available! You can Download Ignatius's Krystal Papercraft right now and build it yourself.

YouTube user FoxMac Drawn used Hama Beads to create this large fanart of Krystal in her Arwing. Pretty cool!

Nicki Tens has been making good progress on her attempt to 3D print a Krystal mask, this time at full size. She's more than three quarters done with printing the front of it, as you can see in the image above. This used almost a whole spool of 3D print filament for these three parts. She continues to post her progress on her project, posting updates on her Twitter feed.

Good luck, Nicki!

Wow guys. We knew Nintendo was going to announce a bunch of things, but they did a bit more than I expected. Two Metroid games, tons of new Mario Odyssey mechanics, a new Kirby game, confirmed Switch main-line Pokémon game, Fire Emblem Warriors, a new Yoshi game, the launch date for the summer Zelda DLC (called it), and even a portable Rocket League port for Switch. Nintendo really gave a lot of fans what they wanted, including me.

Tomorrow will continue the Treehouse live segments. I plan to watch those as well, but I won't be in the chatroom. Response to the idea of a Discord chatroom was positive. I will have to look more into that in the coming weeks.

I'm told that the Star Fox and Krystal campaigning on social media was somewhat successful. At least, it was for a time. Somehow, many of the comments have since gotten marked as spam and removed. I sincerely hope none of you were actually spamming.

Here's the Nintendo Spotlight Presentation if you missed it. You can also watch the entire day's coverage, over 8 hours of video!

As a side note, if you want to look at all the official artwork, at full resolution, they have been posted by GoNintendo.

Just as E3 begins, UndyingNephalim has released his 7th demo of Star Fox: Event Horizon. It contains all of the new test levels, bringing the total to 47. There are more than two dozen playable characters.

Check the official download page for more info and a link to the download.

Ok guys! Time to prep for Nintendo's E3 2017 Presentation! They're going to do a quick Nintendo Direct showcase, followed by hours of streaming over the next few days. I will be here to watch the stream live with you tomorrow morning! I might be called away during the Treehouse segments, but I should be there most of the day. I've built the chatroom and listed the stream locations below.
