    Hirasawa's compositions are incredible and that is really a shame we never got to hear more from him. I'm glad his music still gets love from NIntendo in the smash bros. games. I'll never forget the first time I heard the Corneria stage from Melee as a kid - blew me away.

      yeah. Looks amazing. Kinda wish there was more of it. Like a soundtrack visualization of each level with these CGI sequences. Or maybe a "remastered" version for the Switch if Nintendo would consider doing such a release that would come with both the original game and a HD version with the same visual style. Heck, a whole series of such a "Super FX Tribute" game release series would be great. Or maybe all on one cartridge.

    00:16 to this.

    One of my favourite games. The score was awesome, this would make such a good kids TV show.

    I’m always excited when you guys make a new video and this one definitely takes the cake! Star fox is one of my all time favorite games and this made me appreciate it so much more.
