I never quite understood why they appear to be sprinting through a barren wasteland, I can't hate on the scene though due to the way the music picks up when the great fox appears, tears to my eyes.Glix said:

Always loved how they very briefly recreated that shot in an F-Zero/Star Fox crossover in the intro to Melee:

Hint: When you shoot him in the invincible brain part, he teleports away. After you've destroyed his eyes, shoot him in the invincible part to make him teleport away, and then immediately either turn sharply to the left or right or U-turn and you'll be facing his vulnerable cerebellum. Just shoot it a bunch, and then shoot him in the invincible brain to make him teleport away again before running into him. Repeat. Using this strategy he's one of the easiest bosses in the game.

The gyro controls in Zelda were pretty cool too. I usually use that more than analog aiming, but I cant see playing Star Fox well with gyro controls. Of course I still need to give it a shot.
EDIT: I'm not one to post stuff from different message boards, but this thread caught my eye while looking for required hit amounts for specific medals on gamefaqs:
To me, it's a total waste, I'd like to have a 4 hour campaign atleast. Once I see credits, a game goes back on the shelf, so I can play another game, I have well over 1100 games and don't want to replay games over and over, with 1100 games waiting. This game is fine for someone that want's to replay the same parts over and over again. But to me, this was a waste! from a "30 year old" apparently.

Is there any way of skipping the credits? I wouldn't mind if it was just the original ones, but the added "3D porting " credits take forever. I didn't like it in Zelda either, but that's not a game you can play over and over again in a short period of time.
Something I realised on my third playthrough is that even though the actual credits sequence is the same, the game classes the credits you get from the normal ending and the credits from the good ending as completely different and you can't skip either on your first viewing of them.Rodney McKay said:
So if you took the lower path on your first playthrough and only fought one form of Andross you can't skip the credits and then on your second playthrough you take the middle/upper path and fight two forms of Andross you can't skip those credits either, but since you have now seen both sets of credits you can skip them whenever you see them from then on.

Just bought this today. Finally a copy of this game that I can call my own (I had only played a friend's copy before, I never beat it 
).
I've only played Corneria so far, but good god I suck badly in all range mode >.>
I've been trying the Latin American dub to see how it is, and the only one I've genuinely liked so far is General Pepper and maybe the narrator =/

Fuk u Assdross, this boss gives money!
This is one of the bosses I created in the original SNES starfox - to show off the oh-so-advanced technology of "texture scrolling" (the slots). Textures were very "new" for home consoles back then so we tried a lot to showcase even such basic features as this.
Great to hear everyone is enjoying the 64 remake we made for the 3DS, we put a lot of love and polish into it and in stages such as Zoness or Macbeth you can really see the fruits of our effort.

yep, I actually went "wait...what"? when I defeated final form andross in like a few seconds versus the minutes and multiple lives on 64 mode.
Billychu said:
Appears to be the same health, but the N64 also ran that battle more slowly. No more massive framerate drop when the
eyes
take off, for example.
I actually died to him a couple of times though, where I can consistently beat him on the original N64 game with no deaths.
What about Macbeth am I missing? Obviously the level looks great, as do the rest, but I'm not seeing anything that puts it on Zonness level of awesomeness. Maybe I'm too focused on gameplay to notice? After all the time I've put into the game, it's hard to notice the details now.

Honest question here...
The game is great. The graphics of this remake are better than the ones in Ocarina of Time. But... if you guys put a lot of effort on the game... why didn't you guys include online battles?
I mean... is Nintendo not supporting online gaming again this gen?
Also... one question... can games on the 3DS be patched like the games on the 360 or PS3? I mean, is it technically possible to patch a game like Star Fox to add online play?
I also have to say this is one of the best uses of 3D on this system so far. And just like Ocarina of Time, you could swear that some parts of the game were designed with a 3D mode in mind, like the Area 6 boss.
It's actually helpful for doing stuff like collecting 3 powerups on a vertical with a loop-de-loop, and I was actually able to use it to properly hover over the iron beams on Macbeth, where on the N64 it was a bit hard to judge distance so I tended to crash into them at least once from hovering too early.
Also noticed the clever technique of obstructing objects fading out when they hit maximum z-depth towards your face instead of just 'blinking' out of existence.
Wish we could get these same people to do a Perfect Dark 3DS port.
Also gyro flying was a LOT better than I thought it could be.

I just want to say, I've been showing friends those to levels in particular for the past day or so, and all of them seemed to have been impressed. (Two even went and picked a copy up) Fantastic work, man.HiVision said:

Oh, I see... too bad to hear that answer.
What about the patching? I know they are not going to do it (add online play), but... is it technically possible on the 3DS?
I'd also like to add, that while we're technically not allowed to say this (because, you know...ROM), great work on Star Fox 2 as well. Shamed they pulled the plug on an otherwise unprecedented game on the SNES.Medalion said:
I wish they asked you to do another X game. The DSiWare one was fantastic.
One thing that irked me is the visuals in 64 3D can be inconsistent.
The ending sequence in particular looked rushed. The shot of the Great Fox flying back to Corneria showed a really ugly looking/textured planet, while there are several other versions of the planet shown earlier in the game which looked much better.
And the very ending 'sunset' scene, no attempt was made to add 3D effects to the clouds, or to adjust the lighting as the Great Fox surged into the frame. Infact, the background was just a flat image/placeholder.
Otherwise, the game looks great.

Thanks.. I'm hoping more people will play X-Scape (or 3d Space Tank as it is called in Europe) after they have enjoyed StarFox. (it runs fine on the 3DS)
X-Scape is an even more personal game for me than StarFox as the original GameBoy X was the first commercial game I ever made, and it's the seed that got me interested in Japan because of Nintendo's involvement.

This game is almost pushing me to buy a 3DS. Must. Hold. Out. Until. Eventual. Redesign!

I remember playing Starfox 64 with my older brother many years ago. I think the graphical enhancements and nostalgia are enough for me get this game.

They are supporting online this gen with Mario Kart. I think it was a decision very early on not to include online multi player and instead focused on putting out a good product.
If you look at Street Fighter or Dead or Alive, they've clearly made short cuts just to include online play. Like sub 30 fps, lag, static background.

I've been playing this all weekend. A damn fantastic game, and it looks GREAT. The 3D in this game really does make the whole experience more enjoyable.
