Star Fox Assault is seriously underrated. The flying sections are excellent. The soundtrack is excellent. I enjoy the story and lore in this one. Even the on-foot sections aren't nearly as bad as many make it out to be. Wish they moved forward with this style.
 
Talk about a squandered series. Nintendo could have made this a great bit of fun with a serialized feel, and a new installment every gen. Using it for gimmicks and constantly rehashing the setting/conflict basically killed it IMO.
 
If I had to choose a SF it's 64 hearing fox and co utter phrases like "do a barrel roll" what? Just makes sense.

Star Fox needs to be preperly rebooted with the same aesthetic and style as the original game. The music in the first game was really fantastic and the sequels never really hit those same notes.

I really like most of these for one reason or another.

I think people want a new Star Fox game without actually wanting one.

Would you pay $50-60 for a game like SF64 in 2021?

Absolutely! SF64 is still a very fun game. If they would cut the bullshit and create a sequel with care and effort, put in Online play and a contemporary presentation, it would be worth the asking price of $50-60. The lore in Star Fox is also very underutilized IMO.
 
More like devolution.

SF64 was the pinnacle. No clue why Nintendo cant use that exact formula with like 100times more branching paths, tons of levels, and up the difficulty.

Assault was one of the biggest disappointments of my gaming career. Fuck those on foot sections. So dumb.
 
Evolution is a strong word.

Star Far assault was going in the right direction but executed a little poorly. It was game over after that.

An on rails budget title is about all people will go for these days and Nintendo doesn't really do cheap games.

I mean, it's not like they couldn't bump up the production values. A modern Star Fox should have a modern presentation with memorable set pieces.

Treasure pulled it off on the Wii:

Then you probably don't like Star Fox to begin with, as Adventures is like making a Star Wars movie about Jurassic Park.

Hopefully. SFA is a mediocre game and it turned Fox into Nintendo's Sonic. His attitude in that game is insufferable. But I do get a laugh every time out of the way he says "I gotta stop him!" when Andross appears, lol.

I only played SF, 64 and Adventures. SNES SF is by far my favorite. Childhood memories and all that, yeah, but it was a solid game and the soundtrack is unlike anything Nintendo ever did since. 64's charge/bounce shot never clicked with me, and the PAL version was seriously unimpressive.

Yeah. My problem with the game isn't even the game itself, my problem is that it holds the Star Fox name. I mean, Star Fox is known for being space bombast, shooting with lasers, using advanced technology, etc.

...but in Adventures...
Like why am I fighting with a stick? Why do I use forms of magic? Why I have to deal with dinosaurs and other prehistoric forms of life?
It's like they did a complete 180 with the lore of the franchise. It's STAR Fox, not DINO Fox.
 
I legitimately want Ubisoft to make a full Starfox game with Starlink's gameplay. A full open world Lylat with exploreable Corneria and Venom sounds good to me.

It's such a bizarre game that it almost deserves to be played. It's not necessarily bad either, just strange all around. The graphics were really great for the time, and it has some neat ideas that suffered from split attention for Star Fox being shoved in there. I'd love to play the intended Dinosaur Planet that never was.
 
still waiting on a Starfox compilation for the Switch or SwitchNext.

Graphics are indeed very impressive for a 2002 release. The fur looks better than in a lot of 360/PS3 games.
