Is Star Fox for SNES worth playing since Star Fox 64 is basically a remake that's better?

Also, post remakes that make the original obsolete I guess

If you like sub 12 fps and untextured polygons, sure.

Star Fox 64 got remade on the 3ds. Zeros a remake too.

Resident Evil Remake is great.

Starfox on the SNES is not the same game as 64 despite following the same formula.
It's looser, but worth playing if you really like that kind of game.

Might be best to emulate it so you can play it at a good and stable framerate instead of the lagfest that it is on console though.

I got the cart in perfect condition from a local shop for 15 bucks recently, worth it? I've never played the original game but I really liked 64 and Zero

The first Star Fox is a technical marvel, good, fun and challenging game and an interesting piece of history if you're interested in the FX Chip feats, how it came to be and how the franchise started.
It's a totally different game from 64 and as such should also be taken into account when talking about the franchise. It's a great game by its own.

I have to differ with the anons here tho, I don't think the FPS on real hardware is as unplayable as they say, otherwise the game just wouldn't have passed QA.
On real hardware the game runs pretty alright, as intended. Playing on a emulator will make the game run faster but the timing of things will feel off.

All things, considered it is arguably a more fun game than the sequel, though they are pretty close.

The first game had more frantic action,a better soundtrack and the gameplay variation was more interesting.

Sometimes Starfox64 feels slow but the original game is mostly better paced.

The sequel has a better scoring system, speech, better graphics,dog fights.

You can't fix the framerate using emulation. You can make the whole game run faster, but that just makes it a pain to play.

I agree with this anon. It can be incredibly frustrating if you're used to the later Starfox games but the level design, the bosses, the power-ups and the music are god tier.

>>4079196
Not sure if 15 bucks is the best deal for it but you could have gotten worse.

>> No.4079391

Star Fox is better than 64 since it's far more focused and doesn't have bad voice acting or awkward all-range mode sections.

Nigga the voice acting is GREAT. Full on fromage du cheese.

Overclocking the SuperFX chip is what he's referring to, it does make the action a little bit faster but it doesn't increase speed of the whole game or anything. I prefer it myself.

It totally does, the intro and boss introduction gets totally out of sync with the music.
This comparison video is played on real hardware.

This, it's pretty standard for 90s VA and a huge step-up from capcom's lineup.

It actually plays HARDER overclocked since it's running 10% faster. I don't know. It's up to personal preference, but don't say it doesn't speed the whole game up because it clearly does.

Been meaning to try this out, Star Fox SNES at an actually decent framerate looks amazing

Also, OP make sure you check out Star Fox II (SNES).

No argument there. I like the bit in space when you're fighting those things that look like Zakus, but besides that , meh.

The music in the original is far superior, dunno how they fucked that up but they did

Practically all of Argonaut's games have fantastic music, whoever Nintendo had on hand couldn't really compare, though it's a decent soundtrack at least.

I wonder if the SNES Mini can find a way around this, probably extremely wishful thinking but it would be great to see a smooth framerate without this speed-up.

>> No.4083368

If anyone wants to emulate it at a higher frame rate, SNES9x 1.43 v9 is the only emulator I've found that can. It's not perfect, but it works.

nigga even with overclock it's still capped at 12fps at best
