Lmao 🤣
I have wanted a new Starfox game for so long. I wanted to be excited about this, but why are they remaking it AGAIN?!? 4 of the 7 Starfox games are the same fucking game! When people said they wanted a new Starfox game they meant they wanted a NEW Starfox game. If they wanted to do just a visual upgrade they could have just tweaked Zero and released it on Switch. I mean hell at least that game had new content. The franchise has so much potential and its so frustrating to see Nintendo be completely unable to innovate on this series. Fucking Namco managed to do a decent job for fucks sake. This is the only franchise of theirs that they are just completely incapable of creating something new for and its honestly baffling.
I didn't realize there were 7 games now, damn. I always forget the SNES and 3DS. If you want a similar game, down to the cheesy pilot headshots and text boxes while flying (with the oh so common roguelike progression and basic lack of story that modern games seem to love), you could try Whisker Squadron. The gameplay is pretty fun, if basic.
You may be interested in the upcoming competition: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1921490/Wild_Blue_Skies/
And if you actually play it you can see it’s also retelling StarFox …
So no matter what you play it’s a reinterpretation of StarFox 64.
I’m excited for wild blue but it needs some tweaking
Oh, I can boost this list:

Granted some of what we see takes after Space Harrier a bit more. Rogue Flight has some very good VA, at least.

Not buying a Switch 2 for a game I already played 29 years ago.
I fucking love Star Fox but it hurts to see the franchise rotting on the vine. I know Nintendo's philosophy is that they only want to make a sequel if they can advance some new mechanics or hardware tech, and clearly they saw the mouse mode and 2-player co-op as the impetus to even make this in the first place, but god damn would I love to see a new story with the exact same gameplay.
Sometimes you just come up on a formula that works and you can let the writers take the wheel for a bit. Not every game needs to push the envelope in terms of graphics or mechanical complexity or never-before-seen gameplay loops.
G-Diffuser… seems fine. Let’s go already!
Oh you know that one’s gonna come to bite him in the butt later
Yeah, we know because we have already played this game like 4 times before lol
Who's excited for Star Fox 64 4
Sad to see the huge engine glow go. I always thought it looked cool.
Most of the graphical changes seem... fine I guess. The characters faceplant right into the weird hyperrealistic uncanny valley tho.
I'm not sure them mentioning more dialogue and cutscenes makes me particularly excited. Seeing what they've changed and added in the trailer doesn't inspire confidence, it feels like those joke AAA gaming tutorial things where they state the obvious in a hyper positive cheesy voice and maybe I'm just picky because its different, but here we are.
The multiplayer looks sort of neat, too bad I'd have to buy a switch 2, pay for Nintendo online, and suffer on Nintendo's shitty servers to use it.
I'll probably just stick to the recomp. My favorite part of the game is the gameplay, and that looks completely unchanged.
On one hand I'm glad they didn't go with the overdone cutesy Disney style for the animals, but yeah Fox especially looks off in the kinda realistic style. He looks more like Fantastic Mr. Fox now.
I enjoyed that movie. I love stop motion as a medium

Yeah, I'm not thrilled. Anthro animals with hyperrealistic human proportions give me the jibblies. Reminds me of this old (meme?)

Imagine they made a Star Fox game with flight mechanics similar to No Man's Sky in the sense that there are missions that take you from planet side to space and onto another planet in one mission? They could do that on Switch 2, but instead we get a very very safe ie boring remake.
Guys just play the PC port of SF64 called Starship
With mod support too!
Do you know if there's a good place to find mods for these N64 re/decomps? Googling around hasn't produced many relavent results for me ( or maybe they don't exist yet? )
I remember seeing a few on thunderstore, but I don't know if there's a centralized repository for them yet.

Gameplay looks fine, but I'm not buying a switch 2 to play.
What's up with Fox's appearance tho? He looks like he's cone out of retirement being overweight. Remaster doesn't mean you have to have realistic visuals that alter from the style of the original.
Check out the OG Star Fox boxart on SNES, it'll look familiar. Both US and Japanese versions.
Hard pass. Maybe they'll take that engine and make new content with it. If so then I'll pay attention.
At least it has a multiplayer mode but I do find it odd how they full release old games instead of having it as an expansion for new games.
Cool I guess. Nintendo doesn’t seem to know what to do with the franchise. They’ve remade SF64 twice now.
Am I the only one bothered by the fact Fox’s ears stick out of his helmet? I certainly wouldn’t wear headgear that left the most fragile and sticky-outy parts of my head exposed.

Ugh, it's Star Fox 64. I loved it as a kid because it was new and cutting edge and hey rumble pack... but the tone of the SNES original, the music, the character art, they were better than Star Fox 64's in retrospect.
On top of that, they tried to make Fox look like a realistic fox with that goofy cartoon pattern and mohawk, and it's just not working for me. The mohawk never worked for me and now it looks even sillier.
It's a good thing I already laid Nintendo to rest in my heart or seeing this might have hurt a little.
Not missing having a Switch 2 at all.
Doesn't look great...
From the trailer the gameplay seems fine, although I don't get why they are remaking 64 again (again), and the graphics look decent, albeit generic. I kinda hate the character redesigns and voices. The "more cutscenes" doesn't really feel like a selling point to me and I'm a bit worried about it.

I'd take an updated version of the original Starfox that ran at a decent framerate.
Meh. I had the original Starfox 64 VHS promo cassette that hyped the game and rumble pak. The game got bumped as my birthday gift request by GoldenEye 007, but I eventually bought the game in its chunky cardboard box; Rumble Pak and all.
I thoroughly enjoyed the N64 game and had more exposure to that one than the original SNES title, but I think I'll wait for either PC emulation or I cave and buy a Switch 2. The former is more likely at the moment.
It looks nice, but it's no "killer app."
