The perfect game. Can easily beat it one casual sitting. Wish more games could make me feel like I go on a sweet adventure in such a short amount of time like this.
Thanks. Back in the 90's/00's I could get them all EXCEPT the Gold Medal on the Armada Stage before Venom. I tried again this year on Switch and finally managed it. It wasn't too hard, actually. I just had to double Nova Bomb the minefield at the beginning.
Tbh, I didn't see the appeal.
Or I guess I saw the appeal, but it just didn't click with me.
I should give it a replay.
Context: played the 3DS version first, didn't like it too much, played Star Fox: Assault and actually liked it quite a bit (besides the on-foot sections), then played the N64 version - liekd that a bit better than the 3DS version but it still didn't click.
What were your Favourite missions? >Area 6
Target rich environment with a lot of enemy variation starting with static defence stations, usual mix of fighter then moving onto capital ships physically trying to block you as you hear the ncreasingly panicked chatter of the Andross Forces as you punch through their defence lines.
Really sold how the shoe is on the other foot from the defensive settings of Corneria/Sector Y/Katina
Also loved Sector Y and Katina simply because the Corneria Forces actually exist and are fighting with you rather than being on your own like most of the game.
>Also loved Sector Y and Katina simply because the Corneria Forces actually exist and are fighting with you rather than being on your own like most of the game.
Same, my favorite is Sector Y for the reason you said, plus it has my favorite level progression. A close second is easy route Venom, it's such a fun, chaotic mess that really tests your skill with the shoulder buttons for tight turns.
Zones is by far my favorite. Has my favorite visuals in both the original and 3DS remake, I love shooting the searchlight, Kat's theme is cool and being able to spam bombs on the boss fight is great.
Frick Zero for making it entirely based around the shitty hacking bot
Star Fox Exploration Showcase (EX) romhack for SF1 SNES is even better > A brand new map with 17 new levels, new bosses, music, backgrounds, enemies and more!
When I got a N64 in 98, I was 10 years old and Starfox 64 was the only game I had to play until I got OoT the following Christmas. I played the frick out of this game, and loved the alternate route leading to the harder fight against Starwolf and his crew.
That mission felt impossible until you learned holding Z or R made you turn sharper. After that when you went back to any other all-range section the game was suddenly ez-mode
I'm not even sure if the manual mentioned that mechanic
nobody buys them and companies are incapable of developing something for a cheap budget also they dont understand visceral or flow style gaming at all anymore. they tried to make a space harrier spiritual successor and it sucked. nobody can do that shit anymore

Hi, auster. Good to see shiggy and nintendo still live rent free in you, we're close to your 10th anniversary of nintendo seething, at least on /vr/
I feel like this and Panzer Dragoon are the last in shoot 'em-ups that were bigger budgeted titles that started with Space Invaders and these games were the last of the cycle of those games.
I know there are other later games like Ikaruga, but those just felt like ramped-up 80s-styled shooters for a more niche audience than the "this is made for a wider audience deals".
Andross's forces freaking out over comms how you're blasting through their defensive lines made me feel like the baddest mother fricker. I've never seen another game do that even half as well.

I never denied it. I'm just pointing out you've never watched it yourself. Nothing remotely gay happens in episode 2. You saw a meme, or a clip in passing, and made a generalization. I will deny it now, however, A Fox in Space is not "homoerotic furgay shit." That one scene in Episode one is pretty gay, not gonna lie, and they play it for laughs. Again, A Fox in Space is kino and all furgays can yiff in hell.
This totally needed its own thread
Yes!
>yfw when your crt circlejerk or waifu thread gets bumped off the board because of actual discussion of games
RIP "could this one weird trick have saved the saturn" thread
If Panzer Dragoon were as good as Star Fox 64 Sega would still be making consoles.
Panzer dragoon is still good but is short and not content rich. It should have been a bundle like wii sports or at least not sold at full price.
If Star Fox was so good Zero would have to be made in the first place. Checkmate furrshits!
Hell yeah bro
Nintendo can't make real games like this anymore.
The perfect game. Can easily beat it one casual sitting. Wish more games could make me feel like I go on a sweet adventure in such a short amount of time like this.
I agree.
A shmup for babies.
It's far better than any shmup ever made, not that such a thing is difficult to achieve.
And that's all it needed to be. It's great.
I'm still disappointed how much of a failure all the sequels were. Star fox 64 2 seems to make Nintendo allergic
Pretty tough to hi-score too
Star fox 64 is great , i borrowed it from a classmate and had lots of fun with it
Finally got all Gold Medals on Expert Mode recently.
Nicely done. That's a tough feat!
Thanks. Back in the 90's/00's I could get them all EXCEPT the Gold Medal on the Armada Stage before Venom. I tried again this year on Switch and finally managed it. It wasn't too hard, actually. I just had to double Nova Bomb the minefield at the beginning.
i was pretty cold on this coming back. the SNES game is a masterpeice though

Accidentally posted the wrong image, sorry guys!
considering this is the direct sequel to soldier blade, what a fricking letdown in all aspects
>reddit quip the game
>furgay sim
when nintendo does it its okay.
>every form of media with anthropomorphic animals is furry sex
you are the mentally ill one
form of media with anthropomorphic animals is furry sex
Yes. I'm glad you understand.
Why are they so afraid to make another rail shooter out of starfox?
It's a risky genre nowadays. People don't get the concept of playing for score.
nobody buys them and companies are incapable of developing something for a cheap budget also they dont understand visceral or flow style gaming at all anymore. they tried to make a space harrier spiritual successor and it sucked. nobody can do that shit anymore
how mad was shiggy when trashure mogged his game 3 years later? sin and punishment makes star fox looks like a lightweight railcon.
check their sales numbers and you'll have your answer
I'm glad since and punishment got an international release on wii
why cant we have both ? neither usurps the other. they arent the same game at all

nintendo co-developed the game
it sold like shit anyway because nintendo knew the N64 was declining in japan

Required viewing for all Star Fox fans:
actual furgay shit
Pleb.
Furgay.
I hate furgays as much as the next guy. They can all yiff in hell. But, A Fox in Space is pure, unadulterated kino. Don't get filtered, homosexual.

Not a Star Fox fan and watched this on x2 speed, but first 2 out of 3 acts are just a bad sitcom filler slog. Passable at best.
The story is whatever but definitely play this too if you want a different sort of rail shooter
Idk. I think the story in that is pretty great. Not like it's amazing, but fun for how fast paced and cracked out it is
Kek, ok fricking moron. It's a good game, but godly it is not.
