I do remember someone saying he got the flu or something last year, so he wasn't able to attend. I am interested if the guy who did the Jak and Daxter disaster run is doing something, since I heard he got softbanned (he wasn't permitted to submit a run last year, but would be eligible again this year)

IIRC Bonesaw's submission ban included this GDQ as well, so he'll be eligible to run again at SGDQ.

It only I think ten bucks too on the Switch as well. I need to finish it someday as I was really enjoying it when I was playing it.

Cool. I want to get more switch games since I just got one for Odyssey, and have BOTW on WiiU. I think I'm gonna get this and Golf Story

I think this was the strategy Shenmue 3 is going with. Initial crowdfunding (they got $6+ mil) but also working with a publisher.

I'd caution you as they really do play like an HD remaster of a long-lost GameBoy Color game

Inti Creates helped with Pirate's Curse, and there's a Mother Brain in Blaster Master.

He submitted a Resistance 2 run, but it didn't make it onto the schedule; he said on twitter that he's skipping AGDQ to save money, but might be at SGDQ.

Incorrect. He was eligible this AGDQ but didn't get in. Don't know if he submitted so it's pointless to speculate.

Someone not only liked Resistance 2, but liked it enough to Speed Run it? I don't even think the developers remember making that game

I'm guessing the 8Bitdo Pro Controller that looks like a SNES controller.

The first one is an interesting platformer that if you skip all the cutscenes is perfectly fine in the art department. I assume the sequel ruined that.

Yes, and it's also a genuinely impressive run but maybe give it a pass if the content bothers you.
