  • In today's episode, it's another Nintendo 64 classic, Star Fox 64! But I've never really fully played this until now, so how do I think it holds up?

      I count the remake as a reboot. I know it really isn't, but my brain thought that's the right thing to say.

      @DataDrain02 Před 8 lety +52

      It's a decoy. The credits make this somewhat clear. Since instead of showing "The End". It shows Andross' face laughing at you. Implying he's still alive.

    • @mikeanthony3300
      @mikeanthony3300 Před 8 lety +2

    • @UltimaKeyMaster
      @UltimaKeyMaster Před 8 lety +19

      You absolutely have to fight Andross' brain by coming in from Area 6 in order to get the true ending. Beating Robot Andross automates the entire escape sequence, the brain one (you clearly fight in all range mode) makes YOU have to escape yourself by following Fox's father out.

    Don't worry about the Star Fox 64 3D physical copy prices guys, it's already been reprinted as a "Nintendo Select" title for a MUCH cheaper price in Europe now, but for my fellow Americans, just wait and hope the reprint hits our shores very soon...
    or if Star Fox 64 hits the US eShop, whichever comes first
    ...unless you already have an original print 3DS copy or an N64 copy

    • @mikeanthony3300
      @mikeanthony3300 Před 8 lety

      Dammit I should not have traded my copy of Star Fox 64 3DS for another game! Is that game really rare to find? I mean Star Fox 64 3D cant be that good to the point where its practically sold out!

    • @neneg813
      @neneg813 Před 8 lety

      +Mike Anthony It's been in print till 2014-ish I think plus it was bound to be out of print sometime since it wasn't a big major release like Mario, Smash Bros, or Pokemon, which will ALWAYS be printed to the end of a consoles lifespan, but why it's price skyrocketed to wallet-incinerating prices, I'll never know but i'm still hoping for a U.S. Nintendo Selects reprint very soon, I mean Ocarina of Time 3D got a reprint and that game was rare as shit before that, so why not reprint Star Fox 64 3D too? (at least for us americans)

    • @mikeanthony3300
      @mikeanthony3300 Před 8 lety

    Starfox Adventures is pretty decent as an adventure game, just that everyone hates it cause it's not Starfox.

    • @JMandJJ7797
      @JMandJJ7797 Před 8 lety +9

      Yeah while the Starfox Adventures and Nuts & Bolts reviews had funny moments they're my least favorite reviews of his cause he hated them for being so different. And yes I actually liked Nuts & Bolts. Is it as good as the first two Banjo-Kazooie games? Hell no. But at least the humor and charm is still there.

    • @HerosHelper
      @HerosHelper Před 8 lety +35

    in my opinion, this is the best game on the N64. Most people I know tend to say that Ocarina of Time or Goldeneye is the best game but it's hard to deny that those games have aged. Star fox 64 has not on the other hand and I believe that if a game can stand the test of time, then it must be something special and Star Fox 64 is something truly special. One of my all time favorite games and one of my examples of a perfect game.

    • @EpicOdysseus
      @EpicOdysseus Před 8 lety +3

      I'd agree that Goldeneye has certainly aged (that single control-stick style has certainly aged since the invention of dual analog sticks), but I'd deny (largely) that OoT has aged poorly. It's still a great adventure and an amazing formula that was used up til Skyward Sword.

    • @Bladeslingersgamepreserve
      @Bladeslingersgamepreserve Před 8 lety +3

      EpicOdysseus Yes, OoT's formula is still used today but just because that fact is true doesn't mean OoT does it the best. Just about every other 3D Zelda game that has come out in the years since OoT uses the formula to greater effect and in general just plays better. Hence why I say OoT has aged. When they remade it for the 3DS, they actually did have to do a lot of tweeking to make it easier to play. They had to tighten up the controls (though I found it a little harder to play with the Joy Pad) and they had to change some of the graphics around, particularly in the Water Temple so it was less frustrating to play on top of adding some new things to the interface for the sake of convince. Then look at the 3DS remake of Starfox 64. Very little was changed apart from the graphics and the reason for that is that nothing needed to be changed. And I know some people will say that Star Fox 64 is a much simpler game but that's part of the reason why it has aged so well. It kept things simple, kept in mind what the hardware could do well and focused on making the game fun above all else. OoT was just a little too abishous for it's time and has thus suffered from age.

    • @markasscop

      Truth be told, they did it because they didn't want another Bad Fur Day to happen. Not saying that it was a bad game, just how Nintendo treated Rare....changed after BFD. I can't be the only one that thinks that either, since Nintendo clearly could of kept Rare if they wanted to.

      Final Fantasy doesn't really have any overarching narratives though. Every game is in a unique setting with unique characters and a unique history. When it's baked into the series core essence, I don't think it's right to call it a reboot.

    About the soundtrack, I’ve never played a single Star Fox game, but I know the theme from Zoness very well and i freaking love it. I first encountered it in an old custom Zelda quest someone made for the Zelda Classic fan-made Zelda game maker probably about 15 years ago and was like, “What song is this?! This is amazing!” I’ve never forgotten it

    • @deseijas
      @deseijas Před 8 lety

      +Derp Mcderpinton I consider it a reboot because there are certain story elements in Catalyst that would make no sense whatsoever if it was a prequel to the original. For example, Noah is not Merc. Also, Cat playes a similar role in both games, but they are different because the original Cat was raised by her father, and the Catalyst Cat was raised by Kruger because Cat's father was killed alongside the mother.

    • @doomkrieg3817
      @doomkrieg3817 Před 8 lety +2

      I get why it is hated but the fact that nothing about it is really bad in anyway really makes me feel that people are just far too nitpicky and have too much fun ruining a game that even if it had not started out as the game it became was still an excellent game. It was a lot of fun. It actually gave fucking birth to a series instead of just reboots.

      Because they didn't do anything with their Ips, all the new games they made were Meh at best, and then they turned into a exclusive kinect developer. The only good thing that came from Microsoft buying rare was killer instinct, and they didn't even make that. Plus because Microsoft was bought by rare, we lost many games that could have been, like Banjo threeie, and Donkey Kong Racing.

      Well for most of the time when it was being made it didn't have anything to do with Starfox, It was called Dinosaur Planet for the N64, Nintendo offered to help port it to the gamecube if they slapped the starfox IP on it. Originally there was two playble characters Sabre and Krystal which you switched between during the story. Also the game is built off of Ocarina of TIme's Engine.

      It's not even a good game. Even if you would take Star Fox out of it, it's still a mediocre adventure game with hardly anything memorable, just like most of the Rareware's games. With the exception of Conker's Bad Fur Day and Jet Force Gemini.

In fact i think Nintendo is really starting to run out of ideas with ALL their franchises. I dont have high hopes for the NX. Its gonna be another gimmick console.

      Nintendo will continue to surprise me, in good and bad ways
      We have to wait to see what turn we have for now, especially with this new console coming out

      I really hate how Nintendo made all that hype about Star Fox Zero and in reality it was just a remake trying act as a new adventure. Its like Rayman 3D! Tricking people into thinking this is gonna be an all new adventure! The controls didn't help much either!

      I like Star Fox Zero but its disappointing that its just a remake of 64 and those controls,not terrible but its really hard to get use to.

      It's good (not amazing) as its own game, but not so much as a star fox game

      It's the Doki Doki panic of the Star Fox franchise. And it's legitamely Miyamoto's fault.
