Not to mention they've never come close to emulating the coolness of those original StarFox puppets. They looked like real animatronics straight out of a George Lucas movie.

Those were the sharpest polygons this side of the Mississippi

Do you not have nothing your heart to love a whimsical rail shooter Jeff?

Yeah, Star Fox Command was pretty fucking crazy

But not today!

Wrong

I was going to say it was from the PTSD it gave us for losing our teammates to permadeath. Starfox 64 having them come back after being away for a level just wasn't the same.

cmon

I think I liked the branching stories the most, though. New Star Fox game by the 999 developers with crap like Slippy Toad "Axe" ending.

where's my remake of Vortex. that shit was so cash (and ran at 10 fps)

And the soundtrack was incredible

I played X-Wing at the time but I still was drawn to the arcade action of Star Fox, or Galaxy Force II. Terminal Velocity on PC gave some of that type of fun too. There's something to that style of game. Maybe it just isn't going to make that huge an impact but it serves its audience.

you’re right, Starfox 2 IS a triumph of design.

At least two by my count, but I also liked Adventures, and my buddy is always yelling at me to play Star Fox 2, which he swears by.

It's just a Miyamoto furry vanity project at this point YOU WILL LIKE IT DAMMIT CMON I'M DYING. Them games were never good. The music for OG Star Fox was neat though.

That's Zaxxon

Star Fox makes me want a new Buckey O Hare game

Command tries to be 2 resurrected but the problem is it's stapled to those Le Epic Space Opera Game ambitions and so where 2 is a tight, replayable affair Command ends up a slog you'll pick up once for the novelty and put down on account of the touchscreen controls

The issue is that Star Fox 64 dropped when I was 12 and didn’t have an income of my own so all I had to play were two N64 carts and I played the hell out of Starfox 64 because of it. It’s a great game, maybe even one of my favorites, but I have very little desire to play it ever again.

and the other half was the soundtrack

Weird?! We prefer "inspired"! ⭐🦊

remaking the second game at this point also feels like giving up.

post launch free dlc that allows classic voice gibberish mode that requires nso premium to unlock

Jeff Gerstmann v E621

your takes are still the best

you've made a career out of doing exactly that in podcasts, so I agree

That’s what I said!!

*heavily muffled* good luck

I need you to say "never been better" but not use a single consonant or vowel that are in those words, ok?

Exactly. I don’t want to hear actual words come out of these monsters mouths!

SERIOUSLY!

i fuckin KNEW falco was saying wing damaged all the time

100% correct. These voices are off to me.

you got me there….

EXACTLY

The Euro version of StarFox 64 had the gibberish ('Lylatian') as an option!

Thank you for saying what needed to be said.

Wdabba dib dub.

If they gave the slightest shit about their fan base they would at least put in a gibberish toggle

that's enough out of you, starwing

i have fond memories of 64 but let's be honest if 2 had been released it would have changed the brain chemistry of a generation in ways 64 could only dream of

If Nintendo wanted to remake a Star Fox title they should have remade the SNES release and kept the retro low poly aesthetic. Love that game to pieces but it’s hard to play these days.

Hey, Assault was good too

It was nice to have a good rail shooter that you could play at home (and wasn't something dire like the Rebel Assault games). I think that's part of my problem with 64 - it wasn't enough of what I liked about the SNES version

based on the popularity of basically every star fox game since then, I think people know, and have always known

Yeah but it was a really really good one!
