Can't believe they disabled wifi for another game. You'd save at most 30 min of battery from having the wifi off? I really don't think this is the reason.

Star Fox 64 3D |OT| Online? Can't let you do that, Star Fox!

I got the game a couple hours ago
I beat it already, because it's a very very short game but there are still many paths and hidden shit I have to uncover all over again
I clearly have not played this game from beginning to end in ages, I forgot how cool some places looked, especially the ending, fuck that was the N64 amazing

It seems to be running really slowly for nostalgic effect. It's not like the performance is that bad.chubigans said:Do the graphics improve any if the 3D is turned off? Real shame to hear about the bad performance.
Also, is that submarine level at least better than the sub 20fps in the N64 version?
Can't wait to hear their reasoning for this. It'll be down to some bizarre, backwards programming method they use, no doubt.isoku said:
Accidentally did this a few times on my first run through. Does your team's health regenerate after each level? I can't remember whether it does or not.Billychu said:
The only "bad performance" I've noticed is slowdown during explosions in some of the cutscenes after bosses. Sounds like things are being blown a bit out of proportion.chubigans said:Do the graphics improve any if the 3D is turned off? Real shame to hear about the bad performance.
It regenerates after each level. I'm not sure if it's a set amount or determined by your performance. I'm not as good at aiming with the circle pad so I feel really bad for any team mates being chased because im almost certainly going to be firing as fast as possible in their direction.Mafro said:

I swear the team mates have a penchant for lunging into my lasers far more in this one, at least Falco keeps complementing me on my genius.
Last thing I did was inadvertently shoot down Peppy in
, I blame Pigma but in my shame I shut the game off....

Venom 2, this may be spoiler worthy to some
actually I just want my medal, plus Wolf was owning me, when did he get so good?

I've just come to the horrific realisation that i'm going to have the craptastic single shot laser upon my return to the game.Billychu said:
I'm rocking the N64 setup (so type B) but breaking and firing at the same time is a bit of a nuisance, it really messed up my trip through area 6

Only encountered slow down during large explosions and Aquas. I miss the super big boss explosions of the original though.
Also this might sound a bit weird, but does Andross sounds... Nigerian to anyone else? His laugh doesn't sound as good (or as long) as it used to. Honestly out of all the remade voice acting his is the only one that bothers me slightly.

He's certainly lacking his creepy ass laugh from the original, in fact i'd go as far as to call his new laugh abysmal.demonturkey said:
Hopefully I can give it another listen when I humiliate the Starwolf team with a single laser tour de force.
dammit, Billychu is right
Bolse has really good bump/normal mapping on the surface. I love the shading effects going on in this game.
For anyone who says this game doesn't have slowdown try flying really close to the Bolse core and destroying all the weakpoints. There's noticable slow down. But it's not a deal breaker by any means.

Japanese got a cool sounding 3DS Andross.

You might already know this but, shooting your teammates adversaries a few times will give them the upper hand and let you focus on Wolf. Also somersaulting a lot is key, as Wolf will just copy you if you U-Turn.

Got my copy from Amazon! Was this game ever releasing Sunday, or did they change the date because stores broke street date?

Meteo is the best level.

Was there a cockpit view in the original N64? I was bummed that they took it out.
I thought my camera button was broken at first!
And that tutorial was annoying as hell! I already know how to play the darn game, let me skip it for crying out loud!!!
The game brings back tons of memories. I love the voices. So much better and immersive than those horrible jibberish in Star Fox Command.
By the way, I still can't get over the fact that Assault and Command were so horrible. Command is, in my opinion, the worst Star Fox game.

It was actually slated for this Sunday a while back, but the date got moved to today about a month or two ago.Billychu said:

Absolutely loving the redone music. The samples in the original game were... assy. These are not. I only wish they'd done this with Ocarina because the results are fantastic. I listened to some of the SF 64 3D music uploaded to Youtube before buying the game and was a little underwhelmed, but the songs sound a lot richer in the actual game. I can only assume the capture method or encoding on the Youtube stuff is to blame.
I was also impressed by the crazy particle effects used for the rising cinders in the Solar level. The visuals in the hyperspace warp in the Meteo deserve mention as well.

Adjusted difficulty on things like how easily your wings come off, power-up placement and enemy durability, especially on bosses. Star Wolf appear to be a little easier to take down in 3DS mode, too.

argh i knew it felt way too easy to me , i'm gonna see if n64 makes it more difficult.
So am I right in that the only differences in 3DS vs. N64 mode is the four face button layout? Everything else seems exactly the same, but you guys are claiming the stages behave slightly differently, too?
I'm pretty sure this is to recreate the way the game plays on N64 to a tee, not so much a technical issue. For example, if they got rid of some pop-in, it could potentially change how the game plays/give you more time to do something than on the N64. It's obvious it was a design choice. Also, never noticed any performance issues. The only times I've noticed a "framerate drop" are the same exact places they happened on the N64, suggesting it was on purpose. They did this with OoT3D as well in order to preserve/ensure the game plays exactly the way it did on the N64.
Anyway, really impressed with the game. Seems like a slightly better remake than OoT was, honestly. The music is loads better this time, too....doesn't sound so plainly MIDI anymore.
And did anyone notice Falce doesn't say "Einstein" anymore? He says "genius" when you accidentally shoot him. What's the reasoning behind that? That can't possibly be for copyright, can it? Who the hell copyrighted Einstein?

Finished Hard Route on Nintendo 64 mode. Didn't know there was a second credit roll after the initial credits (although nothing really is show other than just staff roll, so I doubt that counts as spoiler).
All I have to say about Zoness: Dat water.

I noticed some of the translation is more literal with some of the Woolsyisms taken out. It's only for the smaller less memorable dialogue, because other than that, it's exactly the same.Pyrokai said:
The Einstein estate is obviously upset at the furry connotations of his name appearing in the Lylat system
Ted Woosly was the translator for many of Square Soft's games in the 90s. He had a certain wacky style to his translations.Pyrokai said:Wooslyisms? Forgive me if I should know what this is...
If you haven't noticed it, then its all fine and good, becaue it's very, VERY minor.Pyrokai said:So were there any other lines changed that I haven't noticed yet? I still haven't played all the stages.
Man this game is so good. Also, I got the last copy when I picked it up today at my local Target

Also, I think I was confused earlier with the N64 vs. 3DS modes. I thought you meant controls only, but I forgot that at the beginning you can choose which "version" of the game you want to play. What all are the differences we've noticed so far between choosing Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 64?
See the differences in graphics:
Intro - N64 vs 3DS
Meteo - N64 vs 3DS
Fortuna - N64 vs 3DS

Yeah, there's that mode which accomodates for both Circle Pad and gyro or purely N64 Circle Pad only, if I'm not mistaken.Pyrokai said:I'm sure I'll notice them when I reach them

Funny how the Youtube commenter says "the 3DS version is blurrier" no thanks to a non-crisp video capture of a 3DS game.Willy105 said:
Although upon comparison, SF643D looks more like Rogue Leader with the textures and the lighting/mapping.
