This totally needed its own thread

Yes!

Hell yeah bro

>>10557287
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.

A shmup for babies.

>>10557309
It's far better than any shmup ever made, not that such a thing is difficult to achieve.

>>10557313

I'm still disappointed how much of a failure all the sequels were. Star fox 64 2 seems to make Nintendo allergic

RIP "could this one weird trick have saved the saturn" thread

>>10557287
Star fox 64 is great , i borrowed it from a classmate and had lots of fun with it

>>10557287
Finally got all Gold Medals on Expert Mode recently.

>>10557287
i was pretty cold on this coming back. the SNES game is a masterpeice though

>>10557297
I agree.

>>10557309
And that's all it needed to be. It's great.

>>10557452
If Panzer Dragoon were as good as Star Fox 64 Sega would still be making consoles.

>>10558078
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.

>>10557287
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.

>>10557287
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!

>>10557295
Nintendo can't make real games like this anymore.

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 fuck out of this game, and loved the alternate route leading to the harder fight against Starwolf and his crew.

>>10557287
Accidentally posted the wrong image, sorry guys!

>reddit quip the game

>>10558238
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

Why are they so afraid to make another rail shooter out of starfox?

>>10558505
It's a risky genre nowadays. People don't get the concept of playing for score.

>>10558505
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

>>10558265
>furfag sim
when nintendo does it its okay.

>>10558585
>every form of media with anthropomorphic animals is furry sex
you are the mentally ill one

how mad was shiggy when trashure mogged his game 3 years later? sin and punishment makes star fox looks like a lightweight railcon.

>>10558652
check their sales numbers and you'll have your answer

>>10558652
I'm glad since and punishment got an international release on wii

>>10558652
why cant we have both ? neither usurps the other. they arent the same game at all

>>10558636
>>every form of media with anthropomorphic animals is furry sex
Yes. I'm glad you understand.

>>10557287
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".

>>10557287
We need your help star Fuc-*hits start*
DU DU DUUU!
D-D-D-D-D-DUUUUUUUUU!

>trashure
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/

>>10557534
Nicely done. That's a tough feat!

>>10558178
>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.

Oh and fuck Aquas!

Andross's forces freaking out over comms how you're blasting through their defensive lines made me feel like the baddest mother fucker. I've never seen another game do that even half as well.

>>10559397
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.

Required viewing for all Star Fox fans:

>>10560213
actual furfag shit

>>10560497
Pleb.

>>10560501
Furfag.

>>10560508
I hate furfags 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, faggot.

>>10560527
>it's just animal kino, not homoerotic furfaggot fanfiction bro
You haven't seen the second episode, I take it...

>>10560536
Oh, I have. I linked it a few posts above. What makes you think I hadn't?

>>10560541
Because it's homoerotic furfaggot fanfiction.

>>10560548
Go ahead, timestamp where exactly. I'll wait...

>>10560553
>drop your pants, fox
Yeah, I'm out.

>>10557287

The story is whatever but definitely play this too if you want a different sort of rail shooter

>>10560564
That's episode one.

>>10560569
This one is more like a gallery shooter

>>10560573
... so you agree with my initial statement.

>>10560584
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 furfag 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 furfags can yiff in hell.

>>10557287
Kek, ok fucking retard. It's a good game, but godly it is not.

>>10560213
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.

>>10560646
No accounting for taste...

I love the renders from this game.

>>10560569
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

>>10558178
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.
Fuck Zero for making it entirely based around the shitty hacking bot

>>10558245
considering this is the direct sequel to soldier blade, what a fucking letdown in all aspects

>>10558078
If Star Fox was so good Zero would have to be made in the first place. Checkmate furrshits!

>>10558652
>trashure

nintendo co-developed the game
it sold like shit anyway because nintendo knew the n64 was declining in japan

>>10557287
Agree. It's a pure video game
